HB Series

With a rugged fiberglass-reinforced hull beneath you, the Achilles HB Series is built to charge through swell and slice through chop. Designed for serious conditions—from ocean crossings to lake patrols—this hybrid RIB delivers the strength of a hard hull with the agility of an inflatable. Tough against impact. Sure-footed in the surf. This is stability you can feel, and performance you can trust.

Rigid FRP Hull
Delivers exceptional speed, stability, and superior handling in rough water conditions.

Constructed with 940 dtex CSM-coated nylon – the same rugged material used in our SU and SG series – built to withstand demanding environments.

Self-Draining Deck with Lockable Scuppers
The deck is designed to drain excess water automatically through integrated scuppers. For dry operations, the scuppers can be locked off to keep the deck dry when desired.

Automatic Water Ballast System
Enhances balance and tracking by filling a built-in chamber with water when the boat is stationary, lowering the centre of gravity to reduce rocking and drift. The ballast drains automatically when underway to maximise performance and speed.

Internal integrated lifting points

💧 What Is a Water Ballast Mechanism?

A water ballast system enhances balance and tracking by filling a built-in chamber with water when the boat is stationary, lowering the centre of gravity to reduce rocking and drift. The ballast water drains automatically when the boat begins moving, maintaining performance and speed.

This feature makes the HB Series ideal for high-speed rescue, patrol, and response operations — where precision and balance matter most.

The HB 420 has choice of optional Jockey-Style Seat with Steering Stand
