Ribcraft can customise the Internal layout for many applications, from family cruising to commercial use, diving, sailing club safety and rescue. The Ribcraft 5.3 has generous internal deck space to accommodate anything from racing marks, rescue equipment and family seating layouts. All control cables are routed below deck ensuring a clutter free working area. Ideally suited for anything from a family leisure boat used for water-skiing to a serious rough water rescue craft. The Ribcraft 5.3 design is based on the classic Ribcraft 4.8 hull characteristics and design concept. The main design criteria was to produce a craft with increased deck space and load capacity whilst maintaining the 4.8's ease of handling in and out of the water. She had to be seaworthy, light, strong and have a soft riding hull, all the classic Ribcraft characteristics that stand her apart from other Rib's of comparable size. The Ribcraft 5.3 has a warped deep vee hull design which gives greater lift at low speeds and planes faster whilst remaining a true offshore sea going boat. The Ribcraft 5.3 was the first Ribcraft hull to be completely designed using the latest computer aided techniques; the hull's plug was cut directly from the computer model utilising computer controlled machining.
