A REAL RIB.
THAT FOLDS.

A folding fiberglass hull delivering true offshore RIB performance, with compact storage and transport when you need it.

THE INNOVATION

Folds Like Fiction.
Rides Like Fact.

Most portable boats compromise on performance. Most true RIBs are difficult to store, transport and launch.
Fore Runner changes that.
Using a patent-pending folding fiberglass hull, Fore Runner delivers true RIB stability and offshore capability while packing down into a compact footprint for storage and transport.

THE INNOVATION

02

SPECIFICATIONS

DESIGNED TO GO FURTHER.

Fore Runner was designed to solve the biggest compromise in portable boats: performance in unpredictable conditions.

 

Its state-of-the-art folding fiberglass hull delivers the rigid stability and offshore handling of a traditional hard-hull RIB, while still packing down into a compact footprint when not in use.

 

Combined with welded seams and overly-robust construction, it is built for serious use beyond the marina.

Built To Last

Premium materials, welded construction and a 3-year structural warranty give Fore Runner the durability to match its performance.

It handles 3-foot chop exactly like a solid tender. The fact that I can pack it into my lazarette changes everything.
