"The wave piercing design of the Salthouse saves my body with minimal compression on my lower back so I can still enjoy Master Finn Sailing when not coaching… a smarter not harder ride."
Anthony Nossiter – Olympic medalist, Americas Cup & Volvo Ocean Race Sailor
“The extra space in the rib for sails and gear is very helpful, and I find manoeuvring easier as well with a remarkably good turning circle for the 6.2m length. The console set-up is great for coaching, with far more usable space than I have had in any other rib. The internal set-up has been designed and perfected by sailors and coaches and as a result, is just so much more user-friendly and fit for use.”
Jo Aleh – 470 Olympic Gold Medalist, 49er Olympic Campaigner, Nacra Coach
"The quality of the build, the robustness of the design and the effectiveness of the systems have allowed us to use and share the boat with absolute confidence. I couldn't recommend the boat and the people behind it with more confidence.”
Richard Meacham – America’s Cup and Volvo Ocean Race sailor
"It wasn't until we got to spend a weekend on the new Salthouse coach boat that it was obvious that it would solve many of the issues we were experiencing with traditional coach boats. We purchased a Salthouse 6.2m coach boat, which we have used now for coaching sailors in various classes: Open Bic Skiffs, Starlings, foiling WASZs, wind & wing foils, moths and even match racing keelers."
Bruce Herbert – Kiwi Sailing Coach
“I have used many different designs of coach boats in my years of coaching Olympic Sailing. The Salthouse is the best I have used for my coaching. It’s comfortable and dry and also quick enough to keep up with the fastest Olympic Classes. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a high-performance coach boat."
John Cutler – Finn Olympic Bronze Medalist, Olympic Coach
"I have been coaching 15 years now and this has been mostly with fast boats. Being fast and comfortable is the key to being able to do my job to the best of my ability. A boat that is comfortable to handle in all sea states and wind conditions plus light enough to launch and retrieve solo is my ultimate boat. I have had the pleasure of two months coaching in the Salthouse 6.2 in a rough New Zealand summer and really believe that this is one of the best coach boats I have used. I was comfortable pushing the boat in all conditions with confidence."
Aaron McIntosh – 3 x Olympic Gold Medal Coach
"Couldn't have asked for a better day to christen my new Salthouse. One of the most versatile boats, with the ability to scuba dive off it one day, fish the next, and then back for the weekend to do some sailing coaching. Drives like an absolute dream, plenty of space, and super easy to launch and retrieve. Thank you to Greg for the immaculate craftsmanship and customising it exactly how I wanted. Absolutely fizzing for all my future adventures on this amazing rib."
Markus Sommerville – 29er, 49er, Nacra Coach
"At Renting Ribs, we rent the magnific Salthouse 5.8 to local clubs and international federations with very good feedback from our clients. Especially for comfortability and stability during trainings. Salthouse 5.8 is the best rib for organizing regattas and, for coaches that look for the best performance on the water.
Perfect for dinghy and foil boats trainings.
Salthouse ribs are ideal for logistics due to their light weight. As a professional company in the dinghy sector, Salthouse provides a unique advantage during road transports and crane operations."
