Tender A trio for Rising Sun |
 |
Rising Sun,
a 138 metre privately owned motoryacht, carries three
Vaudrey Miller tenders. They include a 12.3m classic
style speed boat, a 10.25m sport boat and
a 12.4m service catamaran.
They were construction from Corecell foam, E-glass and up to 60% carbon fibre
because high performance was a prerequisite and overall weight limits applied.
All three tenders are built to high-end specifications but the retro-styled Classic
is the focus of the fleet. It blends contemporary and traditional elements to
great effect and the warm tones of the mahogany and holly timber decking harmonise
with the jet black hull, off-white upholstery and polished stainless steel fittings.
A forward cabin nestles under the foredeck and the rounded sheerline merges with
the tumblehome and two tier boarding platform at the stern. Engine driven air
conditioning is available to heat or cool the cabin, and a shower and boarding
ladder are integrated within the transom detailing. Side doors provide an easy
entry from the dock into the expansive cockpit that provides multiple seating
options, and a raised sunbed above the engines.
The tenders carry comprehensive engineering, electronic and hotel systems to
nurture and support high profile guests. Navigational information is provided
by Raymarine electronic packages and each tender is fitted with a SML transponder
that constantly transmits speed, course and position to the mothership. An Iridium
phone provides onboard voice communication throughout the world. The propulsion
systems were standardised although the model specifications vary with each tender;
twin six-cylinder Yanmar diesels driving through gearboxes and Hamilton waterjets
power the Sport to 36 knots and the Service Cat and Classic to around 40 knots.
