NEW AB INFLATABLES VENTUS VL 9 - CURRENTLY IN STOCK (NEW)  

AB Ventus VL 9 (Robust - Lightweight fiberglass Tender)
Designed as a lightweight tender, capable of taking a good size outboard, for the cruising market. The name Ventus means "air" in Latin to show how light this range is. Lighter than the competition with the advantage of having the best power-weight ratio in its class enabling the Ventus to achieve remarkable performance and speed with a good load. The deep 'V' hull that goes the whole length of the hull provides exception handling in the turns with no slippage.

The Ventus has an extra air void built into the hull providing better safety in providing more buoyancy and stability allowing an extra measure of safety. Safety is a big consideration in the design and build of the AB Ventus range. When you are in remote areas your tender and is safety is of paramount importance.

The Ventus range is extremely popular with charter fleets due to its ability to carry a big load of passengers comfortably and dry. Also while the yacht is at anchor, the Ventus makes a handy tender for snorkelling, fishing, exploring and running about to collect supplies.

The Ventus range is also light enough to be used as a car topper for camping. Its handy size is great for providing transport. The AB Ventus VL 9 is a good size tender with the ability to carry 4 people. Great performer with a Mercury 15hp. (Motor not included).
