Raymarine Announces Advanced Tender

Raymarine has collaborated with Zin Boats to create what they are describing as “the world’s most advanced electric superyacht tender.”

The Z11, as the tender is called, is associated with Feadship’s Project 821, a 389-foot superyacht designed to run on compressed liquid hydrogen. The tender combines marine navigation and vessel automation, performance and design in a way that Raymarine says “will set a new standard in the marine industry.”

The custom navigation and vessel automation system is powered by Raymarine Axiom 2 XL 19-inch and Axiom+ 9-inch chartplotter displays with YachtSense digital switching and vessel monitoring. The displays have intuitive touchscreen control and Raymarine’s remote keypads, the RMK-6 and RMK-10, for tactile command of the Z11’s navigation and digital switching functions. A Ray90 modular VHF radio system and CP100 Chirp DownVision sonar add communications and echo-sounding functionality.

“Collaborating with Zin Boats allowed us to push the boundaries of marine interface design, creating a custom software experience that perfectly complements the Z11’s innovative approach to electric boating,” Jamie Dery, vice president of Raymarine Americas, stated in a press release. “This collaboration exemplifies Raymarine’s unique ability to work hand-in-hand with visionary builders, delivering tailored solutions that set the standard in marine-electronics innovation.”

David Donovick, president and COO of Zin Boats, added: “We have been heads down working on the world’s most advanced electric tender and electric propulsion technology, which will scale across multiple boat platforms.”
