One of the most anticipated new boats to launch in 2019 is the great new vessel being built for Michael Hill. As the photos show it will be spectacular! The boat has been built by Profab Engineering in Palmerston North, and is a giant cat, 40m long and 12m wide. Named the “The Beast” the hue craft will carry a sportfishing vessel, as well as other water craft, and be able to range throughout the Pacific.
Tenob have an involvement with the projrvt. Recently, managing director Danny Bass, Technical Sales Representative David Rhodes and Ambilogique’s director Ray Wales were aboard the vessel to commission the Hydrive E-steering which is integrated with Navis DP (Dynamic Positioning) controls.
A vessel of this size needs a substantial and reliable steering system and for this reason Tenob Supplied a HyDrive fully-integrated E- Series Electronic-Steering System with full follow-up capabililty on a dual motor power-pack with emergency steering and interfaced to the Navis DP system.This allows the skipper to hold the vessel at a particular GPS location as the DP system operates the Hydrive steering, bow and stern thrusters and also engine throttle and gear controls, providing the optimum in steering and station-keeping.
The Hydrive steering system was built to Lloyds Specification.
