TENDER THOUGHTS WE ASKED A NUMBER OF INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS ABOUT THEIR FIRST AND CURRENT TENDERS AND THE IMPORTANT ELEMENTS WHEN BUYING A NEW TENDER

CLIFFORD DENN Superyacht Designer

KEN ECKERT

BRENDON O’SULLIVAN

Engineering Manager Mercury Marine PD& E

Chief Engineer New Build 98m Aviva

What has been your favourite tender during your career and why? A large outboard powered centre console. My favourite model is the Boston Whaler 350 Outrage.

Tenders are the bane of my life early in a project as they get selected by an owner and or his captain/advisors, then again when the crew turn up and have a whole different idea of what they ‘need’. Most of those needs are in reality a list of wants because the new tenders are different to what they are used to and they just need some time to get used to what they have.

If you could buy any tender today, which one would it be? I currently own a Whaler 350 Outrage. The Outrage is the Cadillac V series of centre consoles. If building a custom tender, what are the most important elements for you? Comfortable, adequate seating for the family, a head that is roomy and well appointed, a dive door is a must with easy ingress and egress to the water, Storage, storage, storage (dive tanks, rods & reels, personal items). Inboard or outboard and why? 100% outboard; performance, efficiency, ease of maintenance and serviceability and the ability to trim engines completely out of the water.

What has been your favourite tender during your career and why? I have been involved in a number of them and only have one I would care to repeat. Custom Tender 6.5m. Nice to operate, good on fuel, economic to maintain. If you could buy any tender today, which one would it be? A modern version of the same thing maybe stretched a bit.

SEBASTIAN BIEN M/Y Captain What has been your favourite tender during your career and why? Williams. Solid make, good service, very comfortable on the choppy sea and great at keeping the guests dry. I spent many years in the Greek waters where you took guests from one island to another, and we

DAMIEN MARTIN Y.CO Yacht Manager

What has been your favourite tender during your career and why? The Rafnar Flengur. It is an absolute workhorse and indestructible. The builders gave one to the Icelandic Coastguard and told them to break it, they couldn’t, so they got a crane and did a pendulum test against a wall, the wall fell over, so they gave it back to the Coastguard and said try again.

always felt very comfortable and safe with them. If you could buy any tender today, which one would it be? Definitely WILLIAMS. This is from my experience from yachts sized 25m - 38m. Inboard or outboard and why? Inboard. They’re safe for guests and great for using with watersports, plus easy to maintain.

If you could buy any tender today, which one would it be? It would be one of three: 1. A Rafnar either the Flengur or her bigger sister, Leiftur 2. A Revolt – superfast, with seven marine engines with suspended seats. Very fun to drive, almost dangerously comfortable. 3. A Zodiac Hurricane MILPRO A bit like an angrier big brother to the Revolt. The Revolt comes into her own

Over the past few years, have you seen a greater need or more requests to implement larger tender garages within your designs? Not really, I think everyone has always wanted as big a tender as possible! There is never enough space for toy storage/slides/jetski/ etc including sunbeds and all the usual stuff. It is just a compromise and balance with interior space. Personally I don’t think making the tender garage a beach club as well works as it always ends up looking too technical. Tender garages have moved away from the aft (further forward or to bow area) to allow the bathing platform to access directly to beach clubs. People tend to want the tenders inside to protect them and not see them. As a designer, have you considered designing luxury tenders? Yes and I would love to do more. I have already done a lot of work for Fassmer on their lifeboat tenders. The 9.26m was a ‘yacht’ tender that was also a lifeboat. If you could buy a tender tomorrow which one would it be ? I think I would look into a hydrofoil. I would also be looking at anything green or electric - all starting to come now. Maybe there is a hybrid motor or sailer tender possible? Inboard or outboard and why? For me it needs to be an inboard for the luxury look and feel as it is more refined and integrated.

on calm days, whereas the Hurricane is what the Navy SEALs use to get to work. If building a custom tender, what are the most important elements for you? When they build a tank, they talk about mobility, armour and armament. In tenders I think there is a similar ethos: handling, seaworthiness, comfort and safety. A tender needs to drive well, in all

conditions getting crew and guests to where they need to be, in one piece and without needing a change of clothes… I like to think that any tender might be required in a man overboard, or abandon ship scenario in the worst case planning. So whilst it may look shiny and nice, it needs to be able to function in the most challenging situations and conditions. ONBOARD | TENDERS & TOYS | 7

Gimme one of them please AS A LONG TIME CAPTAIN AND NOW PROLIFIC SUPERYACHT INDUSTRY JOURNALIST, MICHAEL HOWORTH SPENDS MOST OF THE YEAR TRAVELLING TO SHIPYARDS AND YACHT SHOWS AROUND THE WORLD LOOKING AT THE LATEST AND GREATEST THE INDUSTRY HAS TO OFFER. THERE IS NO DOUBT HE KNOWS HIS STUFF, SO WE ASKED HIM IF MONEY WERE NO OBJECT, WHAT WOULD HE BUY IN TERMS OF THE ULTIMATE SUPERYACHT TOY, CHASE BOAT, JET BOAT AND SPORTS BOAT

ULTIMATE SUPERYACHT TOY

hen we first broached the subject of the ultimate toy we soon discovered Howorth had probably been watching too many Youtube videos. “Have you seen the Selby Piper 50?” he said. “It’s a futuristic take on the proven Lippisch configuration of the ‘wing in ground effect’ aircraft created especially for the leisure market.” He showed us pictures and

8 | TENDERS & TOYS | ONBOARD

it looked amazing, we even spoke to the head designer and discovered that the project has been 10 years in the making by a team of highly skilled and experience aviation experts, together with experts from Custom Carbon Ltd in the UK, who are experienced with Kawasaki super bikes, UK GT series, European Le Mans series and Historic F1 vehicles… so the pedigree couldn’t be much better.

CHASE BOAT

e asked him to choose his ultimate chase boat and after waffling on trying to define what a chase boat actually is or is not, we demanded a final choice. “OK,” he said. “I think I’d go for the Wajer Yachts 55 because it simply oozes style and sophistication on the water.” Howorth reckons this boat does everything you want a chase tender to do. Stand out from the crowd, make a big impression every time you enter a marina and with the IPS600 it’s easy to park it like a

pro in any conditions…Well almost! The Wajer Yachts 55 is big enough to offer a healthy mix of interior cabin space with a private galley, sleeping accommodation, toilet and shower, plenty of comfortable guest seating outside for those ship to shore transfers, helm seats for those who want to be more involved with the driving experience and finally sun pads in case your guests want to chill out in the sun after a hard day enjoying the other water toys on board or after a strenuous lunch.

ONBOARD | TENDERS & TOYS | 9

JET BOAT

LIMOSINE

SPORTS BOAT

hen it came to sports boats, Howorth became more animated and started to tell us of the Super Air Nautique GS 24 with its 550hp engine and a €160K price tag. It was when we showed him pictures of the new 50th anniversary, XT25, the largest multi purpose crossover boat from Mastercraft that the conversation took a turn. The first new boat launch of 2018 in what will be MasterCraft’s 50th anniversary year has a new crossover hull bottom that will deliver huge wakeboard wakes and customisable surf waves as well as smooth slalom skiing. Specialist Sports Boats have always been big sellers in the USA, but now we’re seeing many yacht owners who cruise on the Mediterranean looking for a specialised sports or tow boat. With a radical new hull design for unparalleled wakes and the FastFill Ballast System to get them rolling in under three minutes, the boat also has a new custom rudder for next-level-nimble handling. As they say it serves up the biggest, baddest wake in the industry.

10 | TENDERS & TOYS | ONBOARD

f course Howorth wanted to opt for the Vikal 12m catamaran from Australia as his must have jet boat and who could blame him! At 3 million euros it has to be the ultimate jet boat under 13 metres but we reminded him that it could not count given he had already chosen it as his all time favourite limousine tender. “Choose another one,” we told him. So he pondered and opted for the Williams Diesel-Jet 625 Sport because it can be customised to suit his eye watering colour requirements. He was quite taken by the outlandish use of green and yellow on the one carried aboard the superyacht Eos. With a starting price around €81K for the base boat, and a good selection of options even the average owner would find it hard to spend anything like the cost of the Vikal.

BACK TO BASICS Josh Richardson asks if we have lost sight of enjoying the thrill of more traditional toys

t Superyacht Tenders and Toys we are always at the forefront of new toys and services coming into the industry, whether this is new inflatables, foiling surfboards, jetskis or submersibles. In this industry there is a focus on high end, expensive new toys. There is an increasing trend among yachts demanding toys which provide as large a thrill as possible, with the minimal amount of skill for instant gratification. As watersports enthusiasts and former instructors ourselves we hope that the industry does not become overrun with new battery powered toys but that the

costing €15k each, and when we test rode these they simply did not perform, giving only 10 knots speed at best with other issues on top. This meant that we had no choice but to send these back to the manufacturer and refund the client as we could simply not recommend them. There is a real danger here of believing all the hype around a new toy but that item not being able to perform as expected. Often products go to market too soon and manufacturers have not had the time to test and refine and ensure they are fit for purpose. On occasion we have been told by manufacturers that they plan to

it is easy to see what the trends are. Unfortunately, this makes bleak reading for us wind sport enthusiasts, as there is a downwards trend in sail sports which, perhaps for a large proportion of us, is the whole reason we got involved in the industry in the first place. Seemingly they do not offer the instant gratification required by the quick-fix generation. Orders for kitesurfing, dinghies and windsurfing are very low compared to Seabobs and other toys. However, new generation toys such as the Tiwal sailboat have helped, offering a good sailing experience

OWNERS AND CHARTERERS ARE BECOMING MORE FITNESS AWARE, AND PADDLE BOARDS OFFER A GOOD WAY TO TAKE EXERCISE AND ENJOY BEING ON THE WATER simple life of wind sports and just getting out on the water and enjoying the peace it has to offer does not get lost. Owners and charterers are always seeking the latest and greatest toys to play on. One such new toy which springs to mind is the electric surfboards which are on many yacht shopping lists. They have sold well over the past 4 years, with a short dip in orders due to Lampuga going into administration in 2017. There are undoubtedly many happy clients out there, however there are also a number of dissatisfied ones who have had maintenance issues with the boards. Recently we received two boards from a wellknown new electric surfboard manufacturer,

sell initially to the superyacht market as they can charge inflated prices meaning they can then invest in more R & D to bring the items to the wider marketplace, something that we feel very uncomfortable with. At Superyacht Tenders and Toys we make a huge effort to test ride, drive and fly every item which is sold and this puts us in the unique situation of being able to offer clients the best advice without the marketing noise. Superyacht Tenders and Toys specialise in new build outfitting and are involved in supplying most of the notable current builds with the full complement of toys and leisure equipment. With this in mind

but on an easy and fully inflatable package to assist with storage on board. Over the years owners and charterers are becoming more fitness aware, and some sports like Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUPS) offer a good way to take exercise and enjoy being on the water. Newer inventions like the Schiller Water Bike and other non-motorised toys take this further. Whether you are active or after the quick adrenalin fix, Superyacht Tenders and Toys offer the best packages for your needs based off our extensive experience.

SAFETY MATTERS TENDER IS THE NIGHT RYA Powerboat and Personal Watercraft Trainer Graham Stones enlightens us on the key safety points when driving tenders. Yachts and their crews need to follow a simple set of rules when driving a tender, this is of specific importance when driving at night or in unfamiliar ports during a busy charter season

ransferring guests between their yacht and the shore in a tender through a busy anchorage during a charter season at night is probably one of the most important parts of a deck crew’s responsibilities. Tender driving and safety is an important part of the industry and an area that can be weak – look around any port or anchorage to see an alarming number of tenders zipping around with no kill cords in use or exceeding speed limits. The lack of kill cord usuage at major yacht shows has even been well documented on social media in the past few years. Yachts should have a set of operating standards for their tender with which crew should be fully conversant. The procedures should include launching method, number of crew on board for guest transfers; life jacket and kill cord use policies, method of communication with the yacht. Operating a tender safely and efficiently requires careful consideration of a few simple things to make the crews’ life a lot safer and a be reassuring experience for guests.

12 | TENDERS & TOYS | ONBOARD

TRAINING When your tender comes back from winter storage re-familiarise all crew with the vessel, including handling characteristics, the location and operation of all controls, switches, circuit breakers, shut off points and extent and operation of the safety and firefighting equipment. Starting with new crew, discuss what training and experience they have and support them with a familiarisation for your tender to ensure they gain the level of competence required to professionally and confidently helm it. A first officer on a 68m yacht says, ‘With a new crew member I discuss their experience. Then I check their ability on our 9.25m twin screw chase boat. I give them a chance to see what the boat can do, investigating speed through the water at tick over and various manoeuvres on single engines, switching between inside and outside engines when coming along side. I probe their Col Regs knowledge. Once I’m happy with their knowledge they

start doing guest runs under supervision before progressing to night runs in familiar areas. The RYA Powerboat Tender Operators course covers most of the subjects covered in this article. It builds on the boat handling skills covered at Level 2 to include short-handed berthing, dealing with guests on a tender including safety and comfort considerations and also includes night-time navigation planning and execution from yacht to a shore-side drop off point using purely electronic navigation. SAFETY FIRST The kill cord is there for a reason and should be used all the time, without exception. It should be worn around the thigh. There are potentially life-changing or fatal consequences of not wearing it. Kill cord discipline must come from the top with repercussions for not using it such as a warning or disciplinary to double watch

Most of these measures are common sense but we are probably far stricter about them on board the mother ship than we are in the tender. I visit 35-40 yachts a year for on board training or inspections often being transferred myself in the tender and although standards are definitely improving, there is often room for improvement in the standard of tender operations. An officer on a 47m yacht sums it up, “Safety is paramount, especially with tenders. Crews need to be vigilant in order not to damage the vessel, the local area/marine life or most importantly people, whether that be crew, guests or the general public. ‘Slow is Pro’ is most definitely the ethos I adopt and instill in my crew. Stay within your comfort zone, if you’re comfortable with the operation of the tender, it will radiate and put your passengers at ease.”

With a new crew member I discuss their experience, then I check their ability on our 9.25m twin screw chase boat. I give them a chance to see what the boat can do, investigating speed through the water at tick over and various manoeuvres on single engines duties. Set the example. Lifejackets are useless unless worn. Crew should wear them as they are often jumping on and off tenders, swim platforms and jetties in a rush to get a line on or help guests. Nowadays, lifejackets are available in a variety of colours and styles, so they can match pretty much any crew uniform. Guests should be offered lifejackets, a much easier sell, if the crew wears one! Ensure guests are seated and holding on in case of any unsighted wash from other vessels at night. If the need arises for a bold alteration of course to avoid a collision in the dark, it could easily evolve into a man (person) overboard recovery if people are standing. When was the last time your crew practiced a man overboard recovery exercise on the tender? Can they get back in a safe timely manner in the dark or rough conditions? Are all your life saving appliances and equipment on the tender readily accessible and easily used in the dark? SAFETY FIRST MANNING AND COMMUNICATION If possible, always operate with at least two crew members on board, especially at night. This is critical for keeping a look out, assisting with mooring lines, communications with the yacht and looking after the guests while underway. Before leaving the yacht ensure you carry out a radio check with the bridge by vhf, briefing them of where you are heading to and confirming additional means of contact, (mobile phone or uhf radio). If your tender doesn’t have a tracker or AIS fitted, share your location through WhatsApp or the RYA Safetrx app with an officer on board so they can monitor where you are when you depart in the dark. NAVIGATING If you are in an unfamiliar area consult pilot books, charts, ECDIS and even Google Earth to check for local hazards, by-laws as well as drop off or refuelling berths etc. Endeavour to do a ‘dry run’ to familiarise yourself. Use the tender’s chart plotter to enter a simple waypoint route to navigate at night. Before departing, place a waypoint alongside the yacht so you can easily find your way straight back to the mothership amongst other similar looking yachts if you are in a busy marina or port. Learn to recognise your own yacht at night.

“There are horror stories most years of crew not properly looking out, swimmers nearly or actually being hit, all of which is avoidable with a bit more common sense and attention. Reduce speed in anchorages, bad weather or sea state. I’d sooner crew take twice as long to get somewhere and have disgruntled guests than rush and have an accident that could have been avoided. The last thing anyone wants to become is another statistic.”

TOP TIPS FOR TENDER DRIVING Ensure all crew are familiar with the handling characteristics of the tenders they are operating in all conditions including MOB recovery • Do they know where all the life-saving equipment and switches etc are located? • Always have two crew members on board with guests, especially at night • When you arrive somewhere new familiarise yourself with the area • Use the electronics on board to make your life easier when ferrying to the drop off point or back • Learn to recognise your own yacht in the dark • Establish a means of communication with the bridge and have a back-up • Keep a good look out especially at night for other tenders and unexpected wash • Wear a life jacket, it’s useless unless worn • Kill cords save lives – wear it • Take a course: RYA Powerboat Tender Operator Course visit rya.org.uk/go/wheresmynearest and search for your nearest centre • Read up: RYA Advanced Powerboat Handbook G-108 is also available as an E-Book.

GOOD SPORTS For the serious ski or wake enthusiast, the performance and wake of a dedicated towsports boat is hard to beat. The classic skiboat features a shallow hull angle at the back of the boat. Ski boats also usually position the engine in the centre of the boat. This combined with the shallow deadrise allows the boat to run at a level attitude. The result is strong acceleration and minimal wake size, allowing the boat to pull a skier and wakesurfer with ease

After a successful few years dominating the sail yacht market, Wally turned their concentration to motor yachts and launched their first tender in 2001. WALLYTENDER The stylish 13.95m Wallytender has a beam of 4.20m, and a top speed of between 40 and 50 knots. With up to 740hp available, it should more than cater for diving trips, spinning around desert islands and ferrying guests to the mothership. Carrying up to 12 guests in safety and comfort, the Wallytender offers performance and technology giving owners the sheer pleasure of navigation while epitomising the pure expression of

the joy of open air living on the sea. Since its first launch in 2001, the Wallytender initiated a new era in the superyachts tender world, till then dominated by the inflatables. WALLYTENDER X The Wallytender X is the breakthrough version of the iconic Wallytender, dedicated to the high speed lovers. She is a super-fast day cruiser equipped with the new breed of outboard engines providing up to 1,200hp enhancing performance, manoeuvrability and efficiency. The flexibility and power of the latest propulsion system coupled with the proven Wally hallmarks produce a powerful boat with ease of handling, where open-air living, speed and enjoyment is the motto.

GREAT SUPPORT SHADOW VESSELS ARE GAINING POPULARITY AMONGST SUPERYACHT OWNERS AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING TO STAY BELOW THE 500GT MARK

lim Bouricha founded Lynx Yachts in 2011 driven by his vision of how a yacht should be designed and constructed, fine tuning the engineering and build process. A businessman with considerable experience in shipbuilding, Bouricha decided to take advantage of the grand tradition of Dutch yacht building and chose Nijkerk, in the Netherlands, as the Lynx Yachts headquarters. This area, rich in skilled artisans, has contributed to the creation of a team unsurpassed in their shipbuilding experience. The state of the art shipyard boasts a temperature controlled build hall and a 70m long quay allowing room for the construction of up to three yachts simultaneously. Lynx Yachts President, Slim Bouricha explains his rational behind the YXT concept “The main reason for owning a shadow vessel is really to unleash the 24 | TENDERS & TOYS | ONBOARD

potential of the main yacht and to considerably enhance the owners or guests yachting experience. More and more, owners and charterers are demanding a greater choice of toys and tenders. The YXT concept will deliver more than the bigger yacht can, and at a starting price just below €2M this is a great investment. As for the operating expenses, a YXT will be very economical. The variations are endless, whether we are carrying nautical tenders or cars, buggies or motorcycles … even extra accommodation, the shadow vessel just makes sense.” Superyacht support vessels are increasing in popularity within the industry whether they are used as a tender garage, extra storage for an array of toys or as a floating helideck. Owners are becoming more adventurous and demanding more from their

yachting experience. If they want a 12 metre tender, a dive centre or even a submarine, why would you compromise on the luxury of the superyacht when a support vessel can offer you the perfect solution? When asked, Filippo Rossi Lynx Yachts Sales & Marketing Manager says, “There is a lot of curiosity around this topic and we are receiving enquiries from all over the world. First of all, the owners want to understand the costs and the delivery time, but the main issue is always the capacity to accommodate a big rib or a limo tender on board. Usually a 50-60 metre yacht doesn’t offer the possibility to have a limo tender on board, hence the shadow vessel is the right answer to this kind of need.”

The necessity for larger tenders or indeed a dedicated sport boat, multiple PWCs, all terrain vehicles and more inflatables is pushing the limits of the superyacht. The support vessel is therefore the natural choice and provides the increase in capability the owner needs at a fraction of the cost of a larger superyacht. A dedicated support vessel will certainly increase safety in terms of freeing up deck space and allowing your crew to safely and efficiently deploy the tenders and toys. It also allows you to tailor the equipment you load dependent on destinations, activities and guests demands. It is however important to remember these vessels are not just the load carrying donkey. Many owners demand the same level of luxury for the support vessel as they have on the mothership as they tend to spend a lot of their free time during the day on and about the support vessel. It is also important to note that owners demand the same level of crew quarters on the support vessel as they have on the mothership – they want to give both crew equal standing. Rossi from Lynx Yachts mentions that “Every shadow vessel is a different project, based on the owner’s needs and wishes. If the client is not interested in speed we always suggest a steel hull. On the other hand, if the need for speed and related weight of the yacht is an issue, we suggest aluminum. Again, it is a choice of the client and we build the yacht around him.” The aesthetics and technology going into support vessel development is on a par with

YXT24 EVOLUTION Due to be launched Summer 2018 www.lynxyachts.com

THE VESSELS LEND THEMSELVES TO HAVING MUCH LARGER BEACH DECKS MEANING A GREATER NUMBER OF GUESTS CAN JOIN THE FUN, LEARN NEW WATERSPORTS AND PARENTS CAN RELAX AND BE CLOSER TO KIDS the larger yachts, no expense is spared in the interior finishing, it’s just the outside deck areas that are designed for the storage of the larger tenders and array of toys. The vessels also lend themselves to having much larger beach deck areas meaning a greater number of guests can join the fun, learn new watersports and parents can relax and be closer to kids in the water. These vessels can really take your yachting experience to a whole new level. A greater level of freedom is also granted to the mothership. There is no need to delay departures, waiting for the slides to be deflated and stored or the PWCs and tenders loaded and secured. The support vessel can also race ahead to the next anchorage, prepare, set up and be ready for the owner and guests to arrive. The support vessel can also accommodate other yachting professionals. Rossi notes when asked about crew accommodation on board, “The vessels also cater for another category of professionals, staff like for example a Scuba Dive Master or a sailing instructor, or a personal trainer. Those are professionals that are neither guest nor crew, and with

a shadow vessel you can also host this kind of people, who can increase the quantity of activities you can offer family and guests, without sacrificing the space or privacy on board the main yacht. Other advantages are that the mothership can remain under the 500 GT mark, with the support vessel taking over on storage, they can be easily manoeuvred in smaller locations or marinas and cruise in rougher conditions whilst the mothership enjoys quieter anchorages. There is no doubt that owning a support vessel is more economical and more practicable than up-sizing to a larger mothership: the flexibility it gives is endless. The YXT Series from Lynx Yachts is a 20m to 40m production range conceived with a completely different philosophy and vision in respect to traditional Lynx Yachts. President Slim Bouricha strongly believes in the use and diffusion of this type of vessel; he does not consider the shadow boat to be just a short lived trend but a boat that every owner will sooner or later

consider useful. This explains the yard’s investment in producing YXT yachts both in series and ‘on spec’, conforming to very precise choices in construction, transport, material and operating costs. Following the success of the first 24 metre model, the yard has decided to build two additional models: the first in the 20 metre range was launched in summer 2016. The third YXT of the series, the YXT24 Evolution, will be launched in summer 2018. In summary, Rossi says “The support vessel range has been created and designed to accompany the mothership, supplying additional storage, large tender transport, laundry and ironing, submersibles, water toys, helicopters, etc., or as support vessels for race boats.” “They double, if not triple, the space available for owners, allowing them to bring everything they desire on vacation with them, including their favourite car or helicopter. Depending on the boat’s configuration and final use, the YXT also means extra space for guests or the possibility to include, just for example, a professional galley, spa or gym.”

LOCKED & LOADED Tenders, tenders, tenders. There is no getting away from them on a superyacht, whether they are to be used for watersports, getting to and from the shore, exploration or crew duties. We can all agree they form a fundamental part of yachting. With the ever wider range of manufacturers, types and designs they are an ever trendy part of yachting as the tender side of the business has become better marketed Words: Josh Richardson

ncreasingly we are finding that shipyards and designers are more aware of them and they are getting designed better into the yachts storage and operations, giving owners, guests and crew a better experience. Many designers have preferred brands to work with based off past history and design in various manufacturers boats from the outset, which then sets the box dimensions (height, beam, length) and also crane weights installed by the shipyard. At SYTT we are regularly involved with new concept yachts and assisting in getting practical garages designed which fit the owners’ brief. Key considerations being ease of operations, cleaning, maintenance, chocking and of course proposing suitable boats for purpose ensuring boats are not compromised by height for sea keeping and deep V hulls, length for vessels being dry and fast, and beam for loading capacity of guests and equipment. As ever, the earlier tenders can be designed into garages during the build the better, and this goes without saying and avoids tenders having to be purchased to compromise. However, it is not just sizes of tender garages which are important, but also the cranes, chocks and other seemingly small details. Cranes and the lifting points on tenders are more often than not the single most important aspect of designing a new yachts garage arrangement affecting owners’ choice in the tenders they can purchase. This is however something rarely yacht captains and owners are involved in as it is planned at the very early stages of the build. With this in mind it makes a huge difference whether the tender has a single point lift, twin lifting points or the more traditional 3 or 4-point lifting. Avoiding spreader bars is fundamental to smooth yacht operations, something we are regularly having to fight with manufacturers against to find ways around when proposed. The

30 | TENDERS & TOYS | ONBOARD

lifting setup not only affects the stability and launching conditions which are possible to launch and recover tenders, but also impacts significant aspects of the tender design such as engine and drive choice, limousine roof length, seating and more. In tender builds lifting points need to be aligned to bulkheads and the load spread according to the boats centre of gravity. These then need to be rated and certified typically to 2.2 times the safe working load for a static lift, to 6 or even 8 times the load for carrying passengers. When designers are working up a general arrangement they need to decide how the tenders will be launched and recovered. At this time in the design there is a focus into the layout of the space to meet their requirements, and in particular the tender storage. Whether this be a drive in tender dock, beach club, roller launching up the transom, side garages with davits aft, midships or on the bow, winching onto deck or simply lifting on deck with davits. All of these need to be considered according to the types of tenders and the conditions and locations they will be used. A system for one yacht launching tenders in Antarctica in 40 knot winds is very different than a typical Med yacht. Recently we have been involved in a yacht who’s brief was to be able to drive a tender onto the yacht whilst at 10 knots. Transom rollers can work very well here. Regardless of the criteria of when and how the boats will be launched and recovered the correct answer is almost always the easiest. If boats can quickly be attached to a crane or driven onto rollers whilst the vessel is moving, then this invariably represents the safest option for the crew operating them and the vessel avoiding trapped fingers in large shackles and getting caught on lines from cranes. Prolonged periods when people are

manhandling and shackling on lifting slings represent an increased risk. For many shipyards to try and design their tender launching system in line with what would be required for SOLAS tenders (Safety of Life at Sea Rescue boats) is positive, as it stipulates that boats need to be launched and recovered quickly at sea. With the garages and tenders designed what’s left? Simply making the tenders as easy to use as possible – logistics involving fendering and securing. This is something that most captains, crew and owners are able to have more influence on, as many items are purchased by them after a vessel is built or during the latter stages of a build. Below are some of the key items to consider: FENDERS There are a number of options here, which are largely driven by the size of the yacht and budget. Whilst every manufacturer will tell you they make the best, there are some key differences in the manufacture which are often price/quality based and worth knowing.

has less chance of leaking. Hypalon is a heavier material that is commonly used on inflatable RIB tubes. It has high strength and abrasion qualities. Key factors as well as the material the fenders are constructed from are the use of stainless rotating swivels used to attach lines to the yachts allowing them to twist and also be able to be used end to end, or on their sides, and any internal wire frame for strengthening for larger vessels over 100m.

INFLATABLE FENDERS Light in weight, easily inflated and easy to store. There are a huge variety of sizes possible from manufacturers such as AERE, Megafend, Fendequip and Henshaw. All can be custom sized with fender socks either in cotton or neoprene in a colour of choice. Key differences between manufacturers is the use of PVC or Hypalon material. PVC typically offers fully hot air welded seams, is lighter to handle, has a neater finish and

FOAM CORE TRANSOM FENDERS Used by yachts for fendering on the bathing platform, transom areas and crew side doors on areas where tenders are either moored up to for long periods of time or they are repeatedly coming alongside. These high impact areas need sleek, good looking, hardwearing fendering that blends into the yachts design and having floating sausage fenders is simply not appropriate. These fenders can either be inflatable,

built in Drop Stitch fabric (the same as used on inflatable paddleboards) which is very rigid when inflated (up to 15 P.S.I) or a rigid foam core fender. Choosing whether to have a rigid fender or inflatable comes down to how much storage the yacht has, how hardwearing an area it is used on and desired looks and feel. Many yachts go for rigid fenders as guests can step on them and feel secure without them moving and they are typically looked at as the highest quality option. Rigid transom fenders are typically built in manageable sections around 1m long with a foam core which provides some fendering ability, then wrapped in neoprene and hypalon. Good transom fenders transform yacht operations allowing secure coming alongside and boarding for guests, as well as the ability to berth tenders alongside the vessel when not in use reducing tender damage. A budget of around €900 per metre section is realistic for a quality application.

ONBOARD | TENDERS & TOYS | 31

TENDER MOORING WHIPS When tenders are not required rather than leaving them alongside Tender Mooring Whips are used, and more rarely fixed tender booms. Tender Whips are generally seen as the best option and are a very inexpensive piece of equipment (approx. €2000 installed). Stainless flush mounts can be installed on swim platforms, deck, or rub rails, depending on the preferred location of the tender. The poles come in two pieces so can be easily stored on board. The flush bases eliminate tripping or catching of lines on board. Breast and spring lines are to be used to hold the tender in place and stop them surging forward or aft. Whips are available for tenders of all sizes, currently up to 22,000 kg! Stainless fittings, high quality lines and cleats, along with painted finishes are all recommended. Due to the low cost of these it is generally recommended to go for a higher specification whip, which can take larger loads than expected. CARBON TENDER FENDERS These are rigid fenders, often called Pillar Fenders which mount on the yachts transom, so a tender can berth alongside. Due to the additional height they provide over the low-lying foam core transom fenders these are a better way of securing a tender, as it stops it riding over the transom in a swell. On these the rubbing strake of a tender will rise up and down the pillar. They are look good and highly functional. When made in carbon they are easy to handle, light - as low as 12kg per piece and are removable so only deployed when a yacht is at anchor. Options are available in aluminium, carbon, with lights, handles, folding, tilting with tender loads and are easily handled and moved. Having provided these for many yachts over a number of years there was a growing feeling that no-one was serving the yachts needs in terms of functionality and price point. So, SYTT now design and build their own lightweight carbon range which suits all tender sizes. A budget of €20,000 for a 70m yacht would be a good starting point for a good quality option. FENDER HOOKS Last item to mention is fender hooks, which are on almost every large yacht to hold fenders, or whips hanging over the side of the vessel. At around €1000 per hook these are well worth a mention. These are typically custom handcrafted to securely fit the rail or bulwark profile of the superyacht and hardware configured to its needs.

The core structure for these fender hooks and special purpose hooks is 316 stainlesssteel. The coverings are stitched together for a richly detailed look. Hardware choices include thread less fairleads, custom D-rings, box rings, cam cleats, custom sized thread less spreader bars and much more Bespoke special hooks such as rod or Tender Mooring Whip holders also available. Superyacht Tenders and Toys is outfitting the world’s largest yachts with deck and fender equipment plus Tender storage solutions, spreader bars, jet-ski and toy lifting equipment and the latest in carbon davits.

THE TOY CHEST

TOYS PLAY A BIG PART OF THE CHARTER EXPERIENCE. MORE AND MORE CHARTER BROKERS ARE SEEING CLIENTS MAKE THEIR YACHT SELECTION BASED ON WHAT PLAY THINGS ARE CARRIED ON BOARD THEIR YACHT FOR THE HOLIDAYS

sk any charter guest or prospective guest about their voyage aboard a superyacht and it is a fair bet that the word ‘toys’ will be used in the first sentence or two. Water toys, it seems, are increasingly important when it comes to differentiating one charter yacht from another. With great advancements in luxury water toys over the past few years, yacht owners and charter guests alike have come to expect a vast array of exciting watercraft and adrenaline-pumping toys to accompany and enhance their stay on board. With ever changing technologies, knowing what to purchase and how to operate and maintain these additions is certainly becoming a full time job for many crews and those tasked with stocking the yacht with the latest additions. If ever superyacht toys got good coverage recently it was at the hands of BBC television. Viewers of the UK’s best-watched TV series of 2017 will have seen the Triton submarine carried aboard Alucia where it was used for over 500 hours of documentary filming by the Blue Planet production team. The yacht undoubtedly benefited from just that one mission, but the fact that our oceans benefited from the millions of people around the world who were educated, inspired and connected with the sea via a superyacht water toy is something the industry can be proud to be a part of. Nicola Breymaier a Charter Broker with Fraser who is based in Monaco knows from experience the importance of yacht toys when it comes to

toys is important, even more so is the ability for the crew to show how to use the toys correctly and make the most fun out of each experience.” This knowledge is backed up by the team at Ocean Premium who are specialists in Toys rental throughout the Mediterranean, “Most successful charter yachts will have an excellent selection of toys onboard. They are seen by the crew as crucial to meeting and surpassing the guests’ high expectations for enjoyment.” Tamsin Priestley the Director Yacht Charter at Y.CO is in no doubt that toys are important and cites the 66.4 metre Okto from ISA as a perfect example to illustrate her point. “She was built to the unique specification of an experienced yachtsman,” says Tamsin. “A four tender garage was specifically included to house an extensive array of toys to keep the guests and the Owner’s family active. Water toys are an integral part of the Okto experience.”

MOST SUCCESSFUL CHARTER YACHTS WILL HAVE AN EXCELLENT SELECTION OF TOYS ONBOARD Benoit Tréguilly of BIC Sport says, “For the last five years, Stand Up Paddles have been the best sellers in our product ranges. Guests can use these boards, to go cruising around the boat, discover the coastline and surf the waves close by the beach. We have guests who like to use them to keep fit and practice yoga while using them and almost every child we know loves to dive into the water from a nice stable platform such is the solidity of our board. With our products the superyacht becomes the platform from where guests practice many different activities, have fun and get fit. Guests share activities and have fun with their friends, their children, their family without engine noise or pollution.” Gabriella Richardson is a Retail Charter Broker with Camper & Nicholsons working out of their Mayfair Office.

chartering. She says, “A yacht charter group is often made up of varying age groups; friends, family, children, grandparents and it is important to keep everyone entertained. A yacht’s toy selection is an essential tool for the crew to engage the guests and offer activities in line with each person’s ability and preferences. Younger guests might need to let off steam for hours each day and other charter guests will return home bursting with the fact they’ve learnt a new skill. Those who are not strong swimmers might appreciate assistance in making the experience easier and the more adventurous guests will often want a shot at the latest water sports gimmick, no matter how hard they land trying.

She believes that a good selection of toys on board is absolutely essential for family charters. She expounds the virtues of the crew on board RoMa who, she says, “will ensure that all activities are carried out to the highest of safety standards, ensuring parents can relax on board in the knowledge that their children are having the time of their lives.” She adds,“In a world where people are becoming increasingly active, adventurous and experience-focussed, a selection of toys such as that on board RoMa truly offers a unique opportunity. Learning a new skill such as diving and being able to take this with you throughout your life leaves a lasting impression and creates an unforgettable experience for those who charter RoMa.” However, even if at first the guests are not initially so crazy about toys Ocean Premium says, “A morning with our instructor testing our toys will turn him or her into an instant enthusiast.” Nicola Breymaier at Fraser likes to promote the 83 metre Here Comes The Sun as a successful charter yacht carrying a multitudinous choice of water toys. She says,“If a yacht has a wake boat, then it’s the wake boat. Not only for towing, skiing and wakeboarding, these boats are designed to create a large clean wake to enable easy wake surfing with no need for a tow line. The boat doesn’t have to go fast to make the wave (around 10 knots), so there are no high speed wipeouts to worry about; a learner can surf very close to the boat in perfect safety and even interact with people sitting in the boat as they surf. Offering a real sense of achievement, guests aged 7 to 70 have learned and loved this activity time and time again.” “The latest, hottest toy right now is the yacht Blob Bounce.” So says Jacqui Lockhart, a Retail Charter Broker with Camper & Nicholsons in Monaco. “It is,” she says, “new to the market right now but will surely be the next hottest toy. The Jetpack and flyboard are a big attraction but many guests still like the freedom to use waverunners and we are lucky that many of our yachts are RYA Centres for training guests to use the yacht’s personal watercraft. Nicola Breymaier with Fraser believes, “It’s all about the Flyboard. This is the setup that uses the jet from a PWC to allow the user to hover in the air. Using a Flyboard requires quite a high skill level and guests need to be trained by a crewmember, but it offers a fantastic photo op when they get it right (and when they don’t)!” When it comes to these, Mako Boardsports it seems, have got the answer. Combining the power of a traditional watercraft with elements taken from the surf and wakeboarding world. Alexander Chittock from Mako Board Sports tells us,“The Mako Slingshot is the next generation jetboard - a quick and agile carbon fibre surfboard, complete with the right combination of sophisticated technology and sleek design aesthetic. Built from an insatiable thirst for the ultimate of experiences to escape the everyday, the Mako Slingshot is the must have toy for those that love being out on the water. Easy to ride, easy to stow, and with excellent customer service and support, it’s easy to own.”

For guests who want to stay in the water rather than ride over the top, there is the SeaBob, a small machine that tows you through the water, underwater and gives a great new dimension to snorkelling. The latest version of these is much lighter and more manageable than the original, allowing guests to use them without assistance and even take them to the beach. For Gabriella Richardson with Camper & Nicholsons, it is the jetsurf that is the new innovative product that is currently proving very popular, and RoMa has one on board for guests to use. She says, “Half jet-ski, half wakeboard, the jetsurf is perfect for adrenaline seekers and was developed by a team of automotive Formula 1 engineers. Capable of reaching a top speed of 55 km/ hour, the jetsurf has gained an incredible amount of momentum worldwide, and international competitions have developed.” Charter Broker Nicola Breymaier with Fraser thinks the trend is moving away from the motorised toys, and is probably moving more towards bigger and better inflatable creations such as towers, or the Jungle Joe 2. She comments, “Relatively simple for crew to set up and contrary to the original inflatable slide that needed to be attached to the upper deck of a yacht, these simply float off the back of the swim platform neatly out of the way. There is the ‘Blob’ the inflatable catapult toy and inflatable climbing walls, as well as long inflatable splash mats that offer hours of fun to energised kids; big and small. For guests less inclined to get into the water or who might be a little daunted in the face of the open ocean at the stern of a yacht, these inflatable kingdoms can act as a soft stepping stone to the big blue. Some guests even prefer to wait until the kids are done so they can go and sit in the shady spot under the slide and enjoy a cocktail or two!” Stacy Moss with Camper & Nicholsons, Fort Lauderdale states that while the core toys such as SeaBobs, paddleboards, towable inflatables and snorkeling equipment will always be popular and will always need to be readily available the demands on storage on board is becoming a determining factor. As the demand for larger toys increases, storage is becoming more and more important. The team at Ocean Premium says, “The entire Seabob range will always be popular but recently we’ve seen a demand for the Radinn G2X electric powerboard which is perfect for the thrill seekers on board and we’re looking forward to introducing the Zapata Flyride this season as well.” Jacqui Lockhart in Monaco agrees,“Storage space is often a problem and the choice of toys is decided according to the owner’s preferences. Only the largest yachts can accommodate the largest selection of toys so we are lucky to be able to rent all the latest toys via some great suppliers located in strategic charter locations.” Gabriella Richardson believes that, larger toys can often be difficult to carry due to space limitations, but can be rented on a daily basis during a charter. These can include aviation equipment, helicopters, sea ray planes,

NAUTIBUOY MARINE NautiBuoy Marine specialises in a modular system of inflatable platforms and docks. One of the most popular combinations are two platforms that can be connected in a T-Shape configuration to create the perfect Jet ski dock. With each platform having 4 x 40 litre ballast bags on the underside, the Jet ski dock has 8 ballast bags in total making it incredibly stable. As it is in two sections, it is easy to store and can also be configured as an L-shape tender bay, a long run way or with the platforms side by side to make a large area for relaxation. With the New modular addition, the C-Dock for Seabobs, the ideal watersports centre is quick and easy to achieve, protecting the toys and the yacht and making the toys easy to access for guests and crew.

Deramar is a growing company specialising in the sale and rental of luxury toys and yacht tenders in Greece and the Mediterranean. They are flexible, adaptable and insist on delivering on time without compromise when it comes to quality and safety. Agis Raptis says, “By renting toys from Deramar superyacht Captains pick their toys before every charter depending on the client’s wants and needs. There are so many toys available in our range that no single yacht could actually fit them all on board.” He adds, “Seabobs have been the all time best sellers, however, Jetsurf a surfboard with a small 17hp engine inside it is becoming more and more popular the last couple of years. And without doubt this is now overtaking the Seabob to become one of our best sellers when it comes to toys for superyachts.”

Allowing Captains to bring different toys on board for the various charter guests is a vital element of successful chatering. Ocean Premium’s ‘Toys On Demand’ service allows yachts to rent the requested toys and equipment per charter without the worry of storage and larger financial commitments. “At the same time,” they say, “it provides an invaluable trial period for them to see the potential fit for the owner and yacht, and also to learn how to operate the toy.” “The trend is,” Y.CO’s Tamsin Priestley says, “towards more smaller toys rather than larger more expensive ones. Top of the list is perhaps the Hoverboard of which Okto carries one ZR from Zapata.” She adds, “SUPs remain hugely popular and a must-have for all charter guests, floating assault courses are top of the list for our younger charterers.”

Other ways to use paddles include kayaks and canoes. Gero Priebe from Hobie Kayak Europe explains, “Hobie´s MirageDrive is a hands-free, pedal propulsion system which is similar to the technique of ‘sculling’ as in dinghies for example, it makes pedalling a kayak as easy as you like, but can deliver amazing speed with little effort due to its twisting fins. Any kayak equipped with this propulsion system can be used for a variety of different reasons. Not just for the fun of it or combined with our Tandem Island Sailing Kayak to go for a sail and explore the shoreline but also to use it as a tender to land on a nearby beach or to use it as a platform for diving and fishing.”

THE INFLATABLE SLIDE IS EXTREMELY POPULAR AMONGST BOTH ADULTS AND CHILDREN ALIKE If you speak Danish or Dutch you will know the word for a canoe is an Onak. What you might not know is that when spelled backwards Onak is the barnd name of an innovative and foldable origami canoe. Nele Braux at Onak tells us, “Because of its innovative new composite material, the boat is extremely durable, very sturdy, fast and lightweight. This combined with its sleek design makes it the perfect additional toy on bigger boats.” The toy is catching on fast mostly because of the ease of storing it on board. It’s easy to set-up taking just 15 minutes and once afloat it is very swift when paddling across the surface. Weighing just 17 kg, it can carry 250kg meaning that about 3 people or 2 people with luggage can be safely transported. As to which toy gets used each and every charter, Tamsin Priestley suggests, “For family charters, it is always the trampoline, Aquaguide jungle gym, floating island and runway that provide huge fun and copious amounts of exercise for everyone. Tired children and happy parents go a long way towards making one charter a success and bringing back the guests for a second round.” Gabriella Richardson says, “The inflatable slide is extremely popular amongst both adults and children alike. Stacy Moss believes it varies from group to group. She says, “Slides are extremely popular along with a good selection of inflatable towable toys. Illusion V also has an inflatable Jetski Dock which is the perfect mooring for the 2 Jetskis. This floating, inflatable dock makes getting on and off the Jetskis easily accessible and hassle free. With its own side-boarding ladder, it makes a great swim platform as well.” Stacy promotes Illusion V as her favourite telling us, “Snuba equipment which allows you to explore the underwater world at greater depths than snorkeling.

Gabriella Richardson says RoMa is the yacht for those who love underwater experiences. She says the yacht is unique in the sense that she is the first PADI Superyacht Scuba Centre ever to be featured on a charter yacht. The on board PADI dive school offers dive courses and supervised recreational dive activities with the highest of safety standards. Her on board PADI school makes her the perfect charter yacht for families with children looking to become a qualified diver whilst enjoying the holiday of a lifetime. RoMa has a PADI Superyacht dive boat, 9 full dive sets, a Bauer dive compressor, and emergency oxygen generator on board.”

Captain Janusz Walkinski of RoMa, is a PADI Master Scuba Diving Trainer, and four other crew members are also qualified PADI dive masters. The yacht’s crew really are full of adventure, and this coupled with her extensive selection of toys on board, makes her perfect for families seeking fun and an experience they will never forget. The toy list includes the ever more popular jetsurf, flyboard, 2 3-person jet-skis, a Yamaha stand up waverunner, 3 seabobs and a 27m water slide which can be attached to the side of the yacht when at anchor. To top it off, RoMa is a RYA PWC Certified Training Centre which means a jet-ski licence can be issued for full use and enjoyment of the toys.” More underwater fun can be had using a device invented by José Escaño Roepstorff. Blurring the boundary between snorkelling and scuba diving the Peter Diving unit devised by José Escaño Roepstorff is an ideal underwater fun solution for yachts. Think of it as a system for multiuser diving that supplies air from the surface for a safe, easy and comfortable diving experience without the need for divers to carry tanks on their backs or wear cumbersome buoyancy jackets or BCDs. A carbon fibre air filled tank is towed behind the swimmers which makes it much more lightweight and increases the amount of air available to the divers by 50%. This means the crew has an easier time manouvering the kit while the guests are entertained for longer in the safest and easiest way of diving. José Escaño Roepstorff says “It makes the divemaster’s life much easier; they have much less equipment to maintain and to keep on board. Beginners can try diving for the first time without having to have lengthy briefings regarding BCDs and carrying heavy tanks on their backs. Also the crew can easily use the PETER Diving System for regular prop or hull maintenance or emergencies such as fouled props or stuck anchors. The float and tank can even stay on board so that the diver is still tethered to the boat while they work.

Achingly beautiful, with increased performance and a luxury interior this Special Edition scheduled to debut at the Monaco Yacht Show in September will set new standards in the luxury submersible sector. As with any asset, the individual owner’s intended use of a yacht, car, aircraft or property determines the additional equipment it is outfitted with. While some yachts are designed as a retreat and for the relaxation of the owner, their family and guests, others are dedicated platforms for exploration, adventure and active participation in a variety of activities. This alone demonstrates the wonderful versatility of yachts, and the toys they carry which are as diverse as the individuals that own them. The quest to own bigger and better toys continues. Ashore the retail chain selling toys to children, might be in financial trouble but at sea the opposite seems to be very true and when it comes to superyachts it is very much a case of Toys R Us.

BETTER CONNECTED The NautiBuoy Marine Platform was designed and created by two ex-superyacht crew, out of the frustration felt whilst working on medium to large motor and sailing yachts

74 | TENDERS & TOYS | ONBOARD

autiBuoy platforms first won recognition after being awarded a Gold category prize in the prestigious DAME Awards at METS in 2015. A gap in the market was spotted for a multi-functional, easy to use, leisure and maintenance platform that can be linked together in any configuration. From the outset the founders wanted to create a range of inflatable tools with a wide range of uses with additional accessories to enhance capability. The platforms are seen as an extension to the yacht, so a faux teak finish was added to fit in with the style and lines of any yacht. They are also made incredibly stable due to the unique ballast system that can be manually emptied before retrieval. Due to the modular nature of the platforms, instead of having one large cumbersome piece of equipment that is difficult to handle and store, the platforms are quick to inflate and deflate (all in under 5 minutes) and can be retrieved and stored with short notice, which comes in very handy when the boss wants to move quickly.

The smaller yachts also benefit from the platforms as they effectively allow them to have a much more cost effective yacht extension. Phillip Ashworth, a 40ft Atlantis owner had the following to say about his new 675 inflatable platform- “It’s nearly 8 square metres of entertaining space and for the whole summer it was full of ladies or children. It is a serious bit of boating brilliance that added an invaluable amount of space and fun.” In the relentless pursuit for the perfect solution, the founders designed the platforms to have the ability to transform from a guest ready leisure platform into a solid inflatable maintenance tool. Simply add the lightweight, non-skid fitted cover for protection and your crew can easily clean, varnish, paint and polish and have the hull of the yacht looking immaculate. They can even still link together if needed for those larger yard jobs.

NautiBuoys are truly amazing! I have been able to create an additional 80 foot beach club/marina! Very exciting!!

The smallest platform can be inflated and launched in under two minutes and with the addition of suction cups with cleats, hose holders and collapsible buckets with lids that attach to the platforms, crew Owner, M/Y OceanClub can work around the topsides easily. For the superyachts and larger Gone are the days of having to detail vessels, the platforms can be linked together in endless the tender after a full topside wash down.

Chris-Craft Barrelback Since the beginning, Christopher Smith crafted the kind of boats that dreams are made of. Chris-Craft boats became the cultural icons that gave people a new freedom to explore the clear waters of local lakes and distant shores. More than any other brand at the time, they were responsible for America’s romance with boats, and ultimately, for redefining boating pleasure for generations of people around the world. 86 | TENDERS & TOYS | ONBOARD

One of the most sought after models still to this day is the 1941 Barrelback. The world was embroiled in the beginnings of World War II and luxury items were rare. It wouldn’t be until the 1950s that discretionary income would return, and Chris-Craft would become the boat of means. Stars such as Dean Martin, Katharine Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis where readily identified with the Chris-Craft and the fashionable boating culture in post-war years.
