Specialist Small Craft supplies Kontra R450CC to Southampton lifeboat service
Wiltshire-based Specialist Small Craft has supplied a Kontra R450CC rescue boat to the newly formed Southampton Independent Lifeboat service.
Beneteau have announced the launch of ‘Project E’, comprising two luxurious yachts designed for ocean cruising. These two craft are the result of Beneteau’s collaboration with Massimo Gino (Nauta Design) and Amedeo Migali (MICAD) and capitalise on the success of the Swift Trawler range of practical, spacious boats.
The first model is 18.95m long, has a hull beam of over 5m and is designed for six to eight people plus crew, while the second model is 22.28m long and is designed for eight people and four crew.
Meanwhile, ‘BoatingOS’ is a major new initiative by Irish marine technology company Raceix in association with Beneteau, their global development partner. BoatingOS is an entirely new operating system that will power the next generation of chartplotters. It’s an always-connected platform that delivers data to the helm in a usable, understandable and contextually aware way, while also unlocking millions of completely new data points aimed at enriching the boating experience on board.
