Anyone else got a tender like this?

Very practical for running to the local Asda`s but how do you get it out of the security gate. I think it may have boayancy issues too. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I'll never forget the time when I was walking through monaco Port Condamine, giant privately owned megayacht coming up, as i arrive at the mooring we get told to stop by monaco port security as a ramp folds down from the stern onto the road and a Mercedes Maybach drove out /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Wish I could remember the name of the thing /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

We were trying to work out what it was--too small for a smart car but too big for an invalid carriage. Any guesses anyone? If its still there tomorrow I`l ask the owner.

 

[B175Chris]

I'm almost certain that's a smart...

The boat was only a 50 footer. Whatever it is must be light

 

[B175Chris]

What is the boat called? might be abe to look it up online...?

 

[DoubleVision]

Didnt catch the name--will look tomorrow afternoon if he`s still there

Saw this in Port Solent and thought about trying to get ashore at say Sheppards, Cowes. Hmmmmm??

KGH

Saw one of these at Genoa last year, looks pretty trick but how the heck do you get it out and up onto the toon if you are stern too and the toon is quite high up?

Hmmm, bit knackered if forced to berth portside-to though.... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Good effort! Kinda looks like a Smart car but could be one of those electric jobs they sell in France, not UK, like a GWizz bit a bit smarter, sort of cross between GWizz and Smart?

Here's another fab tender, taken at monaco GP (weekend before last, Cap D'Ail marina). This boat even has a motor - electric, folding prop, mounted in the keel bulb

And Red wing mirrors - and is that indicator lights in the wing mirrors? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[jfm]

Yup, they looked like mercedes AMG or something, or mebbe ripspeed with lights in them. Only the port one was red, starboard was green
