What Rib was this?
Just watched this video clip of this rib being destroyed by the tow vessel..heartbreaking to watch. Anyone know what Rib it was?

Looked to me like the hull was already destroyed by the rocks.

Yeh you could see the whole boat flex as a wave caught it before the load went on the line. Obviously been bouncing on the rocks a while

Sent from my SM-G950F using RIB Net mobile app

Yes you can see that in the footage...the tow just finished the job. It's a tough watch.
I don't know what make it is....one of the many American brands I would think.
I'm not sure that was the strongest hull to begin with..a case of all shirt and no knickers kind of thing.

I'm guessing the rib is a Greek or Italian make, the diver standing on the rocks looks like a spearfisherman.

That was filmed at the Haulover inlet in Miami, Florida.

A notorious inlet that does not take any prisoners, especially in a wind over tide situation.

There are loads of Youtube vids of Haulover.

The boat looks at lot like a small Sea Ray.

Or the diver who'd fastened the towline to the boat.

Looks very much like a Pirelli/Technorib from Italy.
