Nice tender for a (very big) Superyacht?

looks like a stretched Fairey Swordsman to me. Bet it rolls like a pig at rest.

Toilet arrangement is terrible. Surrounded by a see through curtain in the lounge. Very odd!!

Surface drive props: someone here on the forum had these, said that the boat became unmanageable at displacement speeds; iirc he said oars would be a better choice for getting around the marina!

100 knots? I'm not sure my syrup of fig would survive that

The standard version should be good for 50knots with 2x370hp Mercury diesels. Prices from approx €736.000 + VAT and delivery.

Great concept but they seriously need to visit Delta and learn how to do the interior of a lightweight sports cruiser.

To reach 100knots you'd have to choose the 2x1100hp Mercury petrol (!!!) option w. surface drivves AND the carbon build option. Getting close to €1.2mill + VAT

We tested it in MBY in the February 2014 issue. Goes like stink, rides and handles superbly at speed, remarkably fuel efficient but a handful in the marina. Interior is very quirky to say the least and the cockpit is awkward to move around. The hull was originally designed for Special Forces so probably not too fussed about the bathroom facilities!

To piggy back what Hugo said, here is the video from the test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igsl7_NyaI0

Apologies for the sound, the mic's were playing up but you can get an idea of how it goes on the water.
