BMC, one of Europe's largest RIBdealers will be attending the Belgian Boat Show from 11 to 13 & from 17 to 19 February 2012. You will find us back in hall 1 with the following exclusive brands:

Technohull – the ultimate in luxury combined with high top end speeds.

On stand 1120 we will show, in première for Western Europe, the superfast TECHNOHULL 888 AquaVITE presented with Europe's first new Mercury Verado 250 PRO. This Technohull distinguishes itself from other RIBs by its "stepped hull" and fine workmanship. Because of its modern hull, it doesn't only go faster than other boats of its length but it is also much more fuel economical at cruising speed. His performances are quite exceptional :this sports boat sails at least as fast or faster with one 250 hp Verado engine than almost any other RIB of its length with 2 engines of 250 hp each!

Moreover, at the entrance of the exhibition, the already well-known luxurious Technohull 999 SeaDNA will be presented. This unique 10 meter RIB with twin ventilated stepped hull is designed by the famous British powerboat designer, Adam Younger. Although it is a real high performance boat, it does not lack in comfort as it has a surprisingly spacious bow cabin. The unique deck design allows the bow cabin not to exceed the height of the tubes creating the sporty look of an “open” RIB that everyone loves, while giving the ability for four people to sleep comfortably. Underneath the central navigation console, there is a separate nautical type toilet. The high performance hull, is designed for long distance offshore journeys offering an ultra smooth ride, excellent fuel efficiency and giving this boat the ability to use horsepower as low as a single 250 outboard. With maximum registered horsepower of twin 350s, the seaDNA 999, offers strong emotions and is a real high performer. Even as a full fitted leisure boat it reaches speeds in excess of 70 knts.

On stand 1138, the well-known range of CAPELLI RIBs is presented. This year, 5 models from the Tempest range are exhibited including the latest cabin version, namely the Tempest 850 WA (premiere). The Tempest 850 WA is a new a revolutionary model, conceived with a weekend cruiser philosophy matched with the comfort of a semi rigid boat. The living zone has a generous relaxing sofa that can turn into a double bed, a cooking area with sink, cooker, refrigerator and some cabinets. A practical separated toilet with WC, washbasin, mirror and cabinet has been created thanks to the intelligent use the inner spaces.
