RAFNAR LEIFTUR 1100
The ultimate in modern ‘new technology’ yacht tenders,
RAFNAR’s Leiftur 1100 offers the long sought-after stability,
speed, safety, and sea-keeping required within the demands of
global cruising and exploration, providing remarkable comfort-atsea
for owners and guests, and a solid working platform for crew
operating under duress in often challenging situations. The unique
and patented ÖK Hull from Iceland provides a displacement-type
motion and passage through the water at high speed above 40 knts
in moderate to large seas with very little bounce-and-slam, and with
very little fatigue experienced by guests and crew after long hours
at sea from the mothership during exploration trips. The Leiftur 1100
series has been lauded by owners, brokers and basically anyone
that’s been luckily enough to experience a test drive. Rafnar and
its hull technology will remain a benchmark for radical changes for
some time to come in the RIBs market, and Rafnar will continue to
develop further models built on this very successful vessel.

EXTENDER
Extender are the first folding tenders with
a rigid keel made of rubber and fibreglass
designed to occupy less space on board
and to offer more space (within the tender)
once unloaded to water. They fold up easily
in less than 2 minutes thanks to the patented
closing system and are totally customisable
in colours, finishing, accessories and
lengths. They are engineered for a complete
range of uses, from the biggest model EXT
645 (4,05 folded), EXT 610 (3.90m once
folded), EXT 560 and EXT 520 (3.30 folded)
and the family EXT 430/460/490 (2,70 m –
3.30m folded) also available in version S with
a min. height of 0.85m at aft and 0.95m at
bow thanks to an innovative engine rotation
system. The Extender family also offers a
hydro-jet engine model, the EXT 640 Idro
(4.30m folded). Finally, the special shape of
the vertical prow gives the tender a longer
water line (about 95% of the overall length),
enabling it to glide easily on the water even
with a low power engine. This increases the
comfort and safety during navigation.
