The Solent Rib 585 is an excellent first time boat. It performs like a 6.5m with 135hp outboard engine. This rib is easy to drive and handle and small enough to store in a standard garage. Following positive feedback from our customers we have introduced the Solent Rib 585. We wanted to build a rib that had the same performance as the 650 but was more practical for towing and storing. The SR585 is narrower than the SR600 and so it really will make a difference if space is an issue. However we have developed the rib so that it does not compromise on performance or its handling abilities. With a Mercury 60hp 4 -stroke the rib has tested at 35mph or with a Mercury 75hp 4 stroke 45mph The commercial training SR585 was designed for the RYA as a specialist coaching boat. The fully rigged rib with a Yamaha F60 EFI only weighs 500 kilos which enables the boat to be transported on a trailer with sailing dinghies traveling around the country. It can be easily towed at a Image description Image description comfortable speed with a non commercial car such as a Volvo estate. This rib has sparked a lot of interest amongst the RYA training coaches who have been impressed with the characteristics of the Solent deep V hull. It has been praised for its dry operation and good handling. Rigged with the Yamaha F60hp EFI the rib can travel at 30knots.
