Hull & Tubes
Hull
The modern Tornado hull design is the evolution of a 35 years of tried and trusted testing and constant upgrading and modification to create a Tornado Range of boats that has a unique choice of 4 different models to suit every need, from the small lake runabout to the 12m Commercial Tornado Ribs currently operating in some of the harshest environments. Every custom built Tornado is hand crafted using the highest grade marine materials.
Tubes
Choosing the correct material for the tube construction is one the
most important decisions when building a RIB, which is why
all Tornado tubes are made of the best PU fabric available.
PU or Polyurethan material has far superior qualities of abrasion
resistance and the ability to cope with extremes of temperature. To
add to the quality of the production, all our seams on these high
class RIB Tubes are welded, a production method that makes the
seams almost as strong as the fabric itself and far stronger than
glued seams. As with all tornado production, we have chosen the
best production methods and materials, not the easiest and
cheapest.
This high class PU material in 2 different weights has the unique
advantage that it also allows any general fittings, strake,
cladding, handles or lifelines to be glued to the tubes.
