The shipyard takes a hull and sells it as a bowrider (BR version) or cabin cruiser (CC version), depending on the deck layout. This kills two birds with one stone, as bowriders are very popular in America and Europeans tend to favour the cabin version, like our test boat, the 276 CC.
The CC stands for "Cuddy Cabin", which can be loosely translated as "cuddy cabin". However, the cabin in the 276 is not as small as the word suggests. The headroom in the entrance area is around 1.40 metres, the seat height above the berth is 0.85 metres, and the V-berth measures 1.90 metres x 1.95 metres. There is also a chemical toilet and lockers below deck.
The large cockpit area with its wet bar and U-shaped bench seat invites you to relax and socialise. Partying is also the order of the day with the standard music system. So that sunbathers don't miss out, the shipyard has installed a sunbed above the engine compartment.
Swimmers and water skiers enter their element via a large bathing platform. In short, the Rinker 276 is a weekender with a great "fun factor". With a boat weight of just under 2600 kg, the trailer captain needs a 3.5 t trailer and an SUV or off-road vehicle as towing vehicle.
