Lancer’s RK range are the ultimate on-water Support RIB. Designed in conjunction with Yachting New Zealand to excel in local conditions and be capably handled by all levels of experience.
The Lancer RK range was designed with three key factors in mind: - Predictable and comfortable sea-keeping - Ease of launch and recovery - Ability to support water-based activities such as diving, sailing, SUP etc.
Lancer has a history of creating boats for supporting water activities and has previously supplied many organisations - including Yachting New Zealand’s Olympic Program and the Luna Rossa America’s Cup team. Lancer has set out to fill a gap in the market for a medium sized RIB that is easy to use for new operators while exceeding the expectations of the more experienced. Further consideration has been given to keeping to boat as practical as possible. It has a clean deck free of cables and an arrangement which gives trouble-free access to all sections of the RIB. During feedback sessions with end users we discovered many operators want a boat that is robust so it can land on beaches or be left on concrete boat ramps while the trailer is retrieved. Lancer has coupled its legendary hypalon tubes with 5mm marine grade aluminium to deliver on this requirement.
Please find technical specifications for the RK range at the bottom of this page.
