As first, the hull: Deep V with massive bow entry , medium deadrise greater than 30°, stern with good lift and a smart reverse chine that gives grip in tight turns and keeps the spray low, correct length/beam ratio , are features that put AQA 27 Rib in the category “seaworthy” . The tubes touch the water aft, for great stability afloat. This hull behaves in the sea like a pure rib, not a boat with “sky-collar” Second key, the space: the tubes change section forward, increasing a lot the space inboard: a “D” shape takes place of classic round shape in the helm area: bigger width for the deck, but also more space and volume inside the cabin. Tubes can be deflated to stay in 2.54 m for trailer. Structure: the aluminum chassis is designed using 6 mm hull and frames and 4 mm deck, giving great structural strength but keeping the boat weight below 1200 kg! Layout: nothing is missing . Two big stern platforms aft, full ”U” dinette at the stern deck with lockers, seats, table, big size helm bolster (1.10 m width!) with kitchen, fridge and drawers; air-top rigid cover, cabin with 1.90 m long bed, separated toilet, and of course a big sundeck at the bow. Last but not least, the rigid bow hides the anchor windlass. Safety: AQA 27 ribs is filled with buoyancy material, apart the tubes. Unsinkable. 350 L gasoline tank and 100 L freshwater tank complete the rig and allow great cruising holidays. AQA 27 cabin is built by AQA aluminium boats – aqa-aluminiumboat.com
