A CAMEL TROPHY RIBTEC 655 EDITIONThis RIB competed in the unique Camel Trophy 2000: an Orienteering Expedition Adventure based around the South Pacific Islands of Tonga and Samoa. Prepared by the Ribtec company in Southampton, these RIBs were the largest order of rigid inflatable boats ever made in England.The control panel has been equipped with the most diverse, and recent, instruments, which includes a GPS, compasses (electronic and analog), UHF radio and depth sound. In addition to these, other more "common" instruments helped participants during the Tonga / Samoa route: speedometer, rev counter, battery isolation buttons, clock, fuel gauges in each tank, etc.The engine chosen to power the RIBs was the Honda BF130 XD, an off-board engine with 130 horsepower.
