摘要：	It used to be that the acronym RIB meant just one thing - a rigid inflatable boat - a fiberglass or aluminum hull with a round air-filled tube on top of it. While that is still technically true, vessels with foam or hybrid foam/air collars are often thought of as part of the RIB family. All are valued for their stability, speed and maneuverability and are in high demand as patrol boats, fireboats, port security, military, research, fish and wildlife vessels, tour boats and even recreational boats. Marblehead, Mass.-based Ribcraft specializes in "true" RIBs, said Matthew Velluto, the company's director of marketing and business development. On a true RIB, he explained, in addition to fendering, the tube provides a performance component, offering lateral stability, buoyancy, and shock mitigation, allowing for a more extreme deep-V hull. "A long time ago we chose to specialize in all things RIB and diversify the markets we serve rather than the style of our boats. We feel you can use a RIB for every application out there."
