Highfield is the specialist in robust and sturdy RIBs with aluminium hulls. Its know-how is also recognized by major offshore racing organizations, such as the VENDEE GLOBE, the ROUTE DU RHUM or THE TRANSAT, which choose these boats for their excellent sea passage and their great safety. The same goes for the tenders, as several charter companies and the biggest shipyards (Lagoon, Outremer...) equip their Highfield catamarans with HIGHFIELDs.
Today the aluminium hull has proven its worth. Resistant, it will not jeopardize the watertightness of the boat in case of impact. In the event of sinking, it will be enough to affix a suction cup and to come and pull the aluminium. Highfield uses an anti-corrosion treated aluminium, soaked in various baths, baked in the oven, neutralised, not requiring an anode with powder paint. Another advantage is that the aluminium hull is easily recyclable and its manufacturing method is less polluting than that of polyester.
For 10 years, the manufacturer has been making progress, regularly upgrading its hulls. Not using hull moulds, as is the case for polyester boats, he can thus change the shape over the years to gain in performance, comfort and sea passage.
Two ranges of tenders - Ultralite and Classic - are in his catalogue, which can be used as small boats to reach his boat at anchor as well as main boats for larger models.
Ultralite, light weight, easy to transport
The Ultralite range is composed of 5 models from 2.40 m to 3.40 m. Already in the catalogue, the range has been totally redesigned to offer a new design. These models with an aluminium hull have a minimalist deck plan, without a trunk, with a V-shaped floor in non-slip coating and a removable bench. Their aluminium hull is fitted with PVC or hypalon floats,
Capable of carrying 3 to 5 passengers, their weight varies from 30 to 50 kg. Lightweight, these tenders are easy to transport and launch and are especially designed for sailboats looking to save weight. Simple to use (it is supplied with oars), this tender can also be fitted with a motor ranging from 2.5 HP to 15 HP depending on its size.
