New Zealand's bulletin may have some nuggets in it for those of us that use these as tenders.... <http://www.maritimenz.govt.nz/Publications-and-forms/Commercial-operations/Shipping-safety/Safety-updates/Issue25-mnz-safety-bulletin-april-2011.pdf> or http://preview.tinyurl.com/3wdvvaz Maritime New Zealand issued a Safety Bulletin regarding rigid inflatable boats (RIBs). It notes that RIBs are fast, light, robust, and durable. Those very qualities may instill in their users overconfidence. They must be operated only within their limits. They must be regularly inspected and maintained. When damaged, they must be properly repaired. (4/28/11).
