Do you work with high speed boats and RIBs?

I have just received an invitation to an event called the “high speed boat forum” from Ullman Dynamics… the people that make that rather clever suspension jockey seat for RIBs.

The object is to exchange knowledge and experiences the field and to learn about new technologies, methods and routines, developed to enhance performance and reduce dangerous exposure and risks of injury.

The presenters represent the highest specific expertise in their fields.
Registrations and preregistrations have already been received from US, Canada, UK, Holland, Germany, France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, South Africa, Singapore and Australia.
The final program is still under construction. This year more time is allocated than before. Presentations will be brief and rich opportunities for discussions and networking provided. Several yards will bring boats for the boat trials, which is an important part of the Forum.
