    Make coastal exploration a reality with the Extreme Task Force of Rigid-Hull Inflatable Boats (RIB) by Northwind Marine Inc. They are engineered to exceed military and Coast Guard standards. Extreme Task Force boats are built to deal with extremes of North American coastal exploration.


    The concept for the
Extreme Task Force RIBs grew from military, Coast Guard, fire, police and rescue department need speed, safety and durability. Tested by the U.S. Navy Seals, the Extreme Task Force RIBs outperform any boat on the market.

    Every day, Extreme Task Force RIBs are proven commercially. The recreational applications are untapped. Speed, long-range capabilities and unmatched rough water handling make exploration practical. Rugged aluminum hulls allow beach landings. Quality inflatable tubes, engineering to American Bureau of Shipping Standards and the use of 5000 series marine aluminum make Extreme Task Force RIBs safe. Owners of Extreme Task Force boats have played in large surf and run up white water rapids. This go anywhere ability is why Northwind Marine calls its boats EXTREME!

Rigid-Hull

    Northwind Marine’s Extreme Task Force hulls are constructed of all welded 5000 series marine-grade aluminum. The 5000 series is strain-hardened for strength, impact resistant and impervious to atmospheric and seawater corrosion.


Extreme Task Force hulls are precision-engineered using CAD/CAM and plasma cut with computer navigation. These construction capabilities allow Northwind Marine Inc. manufacturers tight tolerances of 0.030’.

  •  Exceptional stability, ride and handling are achieved with the combination of performance and added lift. High rates of speed are possible with variations of power and propulsion systems.

  •  Self-bailing decks with large freeing ports, complete full height hull sides (not applicable for all designs), and the availability of custom outfitting allows the Extreme Task Force RIBs to succeed in any condition.

Inflatable

  •  In pursuit of durability, safety and strength, Northwind Marine’s team found the highest quality inflatable tube in the industry.

  •  The WING inflatable is constructed of 40 oz. polyurethane. All seams over-lap one and one-half inches, are taped inside and out and thermo welded instead of glued.

    When comparing PVC, Neoprene's and Hypalon (other inflatable tube materials), Polyurethane is four times more abrasive resistant and twice as puncture resistant. These tubes are tested and used by the U.S. Navy Seal Team. They are tough, long lasting, UV resistant and low maintenance. Multiple air chambers add additional safety.
