Team Pulsar Launch at RIBEX 2009



May 8-10th 2009

Team Pulsar officially launched their new Humber Quinquari RIB at RIBEX this weekend.

"The boat has been designed from scratch by John Price at Quinquari Marine and Team Pulsar. It has been equipped with the latest equipment from people like Shockwave, Raymarine, Humber & Suzuki, with a few expert tweaks from the Team at Quinquari.

The exhibition at RIBEX certainly generated a lot of interest with almost everybody impressed by the console design from Quinquari & Shockwave.

The ICE console (Integrated Control Environment) is a new concept in shock mitigation and represents a first for European RIB design.
Fully suspended, the console is designed to allow the maximum performance in the worst conditions. It introduces the latest in boat build technology which allows a modular approach to the build. The console is first equipped with the latest electronics suite from Raymarine including a pair of their C140w widescreen displays, their new digital Raydome and AIS Transceiver, VHF, and GPS. This, along with all of the usual marine electronics is console mounted and allows for a plug and play approach. The console was fabricated on the ground before installation and simply placed on deck for mounting once completed. Quinquari avoided any under deck cabling, taking all transom connected cables to the console in a flexible ducting system that facilitates easy servicing and removal.

Seawolf is heading to Ireland after RIBEX for sea trials prior to the attempt at the world record for circumnavigation around Ireland.

More later.

Mac.
