unleash 300 hp at 3,500 rpm – that quickly translates to a very brisk speed of 38 knots. But there is more to this masterful tender than performance. Its design mirrors that of its mothership for a start. But equally importantly, like the rest of the tenders in this line, it has been meticulously and completely customised. Richard Faulkner had already been building and repairing yachts and tenders at his workshops on the River Hamble for two decades when he founded Compass Tenders Ltd specifically to offer the superyacht world the luxury it demands and deserves from these craft. That means the high standards of design, build quality and finish, achieved through an unparalleled blend of expertise and finesse.
