2026 Ribcraft 4.8 Coach

The 2026 Ribcraft 4.8 Coach is a center console rigid inflatable designed for the sailing community. At nearly 16 feet long with a 7-foot beam, it features a jockey-style pod seat positioned at the helm. The hull combines composite construction with heavy-duty Hypalon tubes divided into five chambers, each fitted with pressure relief valves for safety and durability.

Standard equipment includes stainless steel grab handles, external lifelines, a rubstrake for impact protection, and an anchor locker in the bow. The boat is fitted with a bow eye, bow cleat, and stern towing eyes for secure anchoring and towing. Stainless steel lifting points are integrated into the design, and an electric bilge pump handles water management.

The 4.8 Coach accepts various engine options and is built as a practical work boat suited to junior sailing programs and coaching applications.
