Tender 08 represents a logical development of our successful Tender 06 model. Deliberately targeted at those water sports enthusiasts who relish the best in design and lifestyle, Tender 08 guarantees the ultimate in driving pleasure aboard a chic and stylish vessel.
Under the overall supervision of Prof. Clemens Dransfeld (who originally developed Tender 06), the new boat was developed and built by the Heinrich boatyard and the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (Institute of Polymer Engineering) in a joint project that lasted more than two years. A comprehensive set of specifications stemming from the boatyard’s many years of experience formed the basis for this collaboration between research and industry.
The result is a boat that is simple to operate and whose unique handling ensures unprecedented driving pleasure. The daring, stylish lines, the selection of only the finest materials and fittings and the high level of customisability make Tender 08 the ideal boat for aesthetes and people in search of the unusual who enjoy getting away from the madding crowd. The boat offers not only impressive performance and a wealth of driving pleasure (agility, tight turning circles, etc.), but also puts in a rugged showing in rough waters, which makes it particularly interesting for use in coastal areas or as a tender for mega yachts.
Thanks to the use of sophisticated high-tech materials and construction techniques and an uncompromising design and finish aimed at performance and fun, the weight of the boat sets new standards for its class. Its light weight, slim lines and Z drive make this boat extremely simple to handle – both on the water and out of it. The boat is straightforward to tow and get into and out of the water using any slip. The lifting eyes set into the deck make it child’s play to lift either with a harbour-side crane or the deck crane of a yacht.
There has also been no skimping on the engine! The boat is equipped with a modern TDI-V6 from Volkswagen Marine and a Bravo Three Z drive (twin propeller). The V6-TDI's 225 turbo-diesel horsepower and huge torque accelerate this lightweight vessel to planing speed in no time and ensure incredible fun at high speed. Water-skiing and wakeboarding enthusiasts will revel in both its performance and the open stern which makes getting in and out a cinch. The integrated stern-mounted extendible bathing ladder and shower, the self-draining cockpit and the premium-grade teak used on all horizontal surfaces ensure carefree bathing for the entire family. The two large sunpads over the foredeck and engine compartment can be fitted with matching upholstery if required, allowing sun-seekers to stretch out in comfort. For those who prefer the shade, Tender 08 is available with a hardtop that rests on two supports which extend from the central bench seat. The hardtop can be fitted with an optional electrically-operated panorama glass sliding section. In addition to the fold-down seat for pilot and co-pilot, there is a further rear-facing double bench seat amidships, as well as a seat that folds down from each side of the boat. Together with the seat over the engine compartment, there is seating for six people amidships around a central removal cockpit table that is ideal for a picnic in a nearby bay or for relaxed sundowners with friends in port. Needless to say, the built-in icebox ensures there are cool drinks on hand at all times.
To enable owners to give their boats that special individual touch, the paintwork of Tender 08 is available in all colours or colour combinations. An extensive programme of options ensures a high level of customisation and adaptation to specific requirements and intended use.
