NAIAD Australian-built configurations Models and Specifications
Sizes built in Australia through Kirby Marine. The Australian-built configurations family sits in the Club, Rescue & Commercial RIBs. Length alone does not settle the choice: verify complete operating weight, propulsion limits, passenger capacity and storage dimensions before ordering.

How to Choose a Australian-built configurations Model
- Specify for the worst day of the season, not the average Saturday.
- Tube material and the ease of a field repair matter more than brochure speed.
- Heavy-duty and patrol-grade ranges exist for a reason — do not buy a leisure tender for coach-boat duty.
- Custom and semi-custom builders are normal at this end of the market.
