Rigid Inflatable Boats have evolved over the years from the humble blow up rubber boat on a fibreglass hull to the most luxurious of craft.
With every turn of a page readers of superyacht magazines are shown yet another example this time more grand than the last.
The latest comes from Christian Grande, an award-winning yacht designer and the creative mind behind Italia Veloce bikes (a stylish cycling brand that was unveiled in 2011).
He has teamed up with Picchio Boat, Sanlorenzo, and Sacs Marine to launch the Strider 22 “mega-rib” concept.
The design of the proposed craft clearly shows how much trends and tastes are constantly changing.
