Where am I - with a twist

[Hurricane]

What is this?

 

[Bandit]

Looks like an Aluminium hulled monhull boat, twin engined, waterjets, VAC11 ?

 

[PhilW]

Wind farm cat? VAC 2 is props.

 

[sarabande]

It reminds me of the Aga Khan's mobo with 5 ? water jets...

 

[QBhoy]

Hydraulic unit there with actuators.
I’m intrigued. Where and what is this.

 

[Lloydroberts]

One of the Med boaters ice maker?

One of the Stabilisers on a largish vessel?

Just to keep the guessing going, here's another pic.

Umm, ok, the gearbox, then?

 

[vas]

in 20-25m alloy hulled craft, by a grey/silver V10 MTU engine with a remotely mounted blue jet propulsion system with lots of high pressure oil pipework around it, what do I win?

 

[kashurst]

Safehaven Marine?

 

[Neil_Y]

Spanish life boat?

 

[Hurricane]

OK - some of you are very warm.

The MTUs above are very similar to mine.
MTU CR2000 M93s
Mine are V8s the ones above are V10s but, apart from that are virtually the same.
MTU do other variants of that engine - a 12 and 16 cylinder version.
Ours and the ones above are twin turbos - the bigger ones have three turbos.

Anyway, back to the point.
This is the bridge of the vessel that I went aboard:-

 

[markc]

Coastguard vessel?

 

[Andy Cox]

Some sort of fast response, all weather vessel but the wood veneer panel at the helm would suggest it's not commercial, as most commercial boats would have a plain black panel of some sort, me thinks

Are there any record attempt boats in the area?
