Retubing Tornado from French Sailing School
After a collision, a French sailing club decided to replace the tube of their Tornado. They bought a new tube, but could not find anyone to assemble it. At BoBat we did the retubing and installed all the accessories, such as the life slings, the bumper and the logo. The Tornado is now back in use for lessons and coaching, and looks like new.

Delivery of 2 Tornados for the Race and Rescue team of Royal Yacht Club Belgium
Long before BoBat was founded, our founder Tim De Rick was already active in the Race and Rescue team of RYCB. In 2021, BoBat was allowed to deliver two new boats. Today, BoBat is still involved in the team, which means we are closely involved in the deployment of the Tornados.
Delivery of RIBs and engines for our Belgian Coastal Rescue Service
BoBat delivered two custom-made Tornados to the Belgian Coastal Rescue Service, which are used daily by rescuers. After several meetings and tests with chief rescuers, one boat was equipped with a Yamaha 40HP engine and the other with a 60HP engine. After one season, the combination with the 60HP proved to offer the best result for their use.
Delivery of new Zodiac Pro 5.5 for Port of Antwerp
This boat required a lot of custom work. First, the engine was checked and a leak was found in the tailpiece, which required an overhaul and a test. After a successful repair of the engine, the new boat was custom-built. The standard anchor roller was omitted, and extra fenders were installed to make the boat suitable for repeated head-on landings.
Retubing two VSR RIBs for the Belgian Water Sports Federation
Just before the summer of 2023, WWSV approached us to repair a tear in the tube of their VSR 5.8R. Given the condition of the old tube, it was decided to provide a complete retubing. The boat is now back in top shape to support the Belgian Olympic sailing team. For the summer of 2024, we have also provided a second VSR 5.8R with a new tube.
Repair of bow with bow roller
This RIB came to us with damage to the bow on the nose. We removed part of the damaged bumper and replaced it with a new section, so that the appearance of the RIB is maintained.
