There is a great story behind this one! Back when I first started another site all those years ago, I landed my very first advertiser, Dirty Dog sunglasses. I think I charged $100 per month, we got loads of sunnies from them and it was good. Fast forward to now, and the same guy back then – Boyd Tomkies – created a RIB company a few years ago, and reached out to me, and said “I want to be your first advertiser on Rule69.com! Funny how things work out. And here they are!
Northstar RIBs are high-performance rigid inflatable boats manufactured in Izmir, Turkey, since 2002 known for utilizing advanced vacuum infusion, RTM lamination techniques, and Adam Younger-designed twin-stepped hulls, range from 2.9m – 12m (9ft – 38ft).
Northstar CORE models are open-deck RIBs designed for versatility and simplicity in recreational and light-duty use. Currently being reconfigured with updated layouts and options, CORE boats can be adapted for activities such as diving support, coaching, or kite surfing. The Northstar CORE is exclusively sold and chartered by Rene Alvarez, a former Olympic coach and sailor and the owner of Professional Boats in Miami.
