Falkland Shuttle Rib 550
A VIEW OF THE FIRST FALKLAND SHUTTLE HULL PRODUCED. THIS SHOWS CLEARLY, THE UNIQUE HULL CONFIGURATION COMMON TO ALL FALKLAND'S WHICH IMPARTS LIFT AND STABILITY
VITAL FACTORS WHEN DECIDING WHICH RIB TO BUY.
THIS ENABLES THE HULL TO PLANE EASILY WITH RELATIVELY LOW HORSEPOWER ENGINES EVEN WHEN FULLY LADEN , UNLIKE DEEP VEE HULLS WHICH REQUIRE LOADS OF POWER TO ENABLE THE HULL TO LIFT OUT OF THE WATER !
