Configuration of the RES-Q-Tender is the same on all models
RES-Q-Tender 530
The RQT range of rescue tenders has been specifically designed for a busy Superyacht
application, especially a charter yacht. Not only has everyday practical use been taken into
account but also reliability and onboard maintainability.
Calling on decades of experience in the Sector, Vripack, the Dutch design and
engineering specialist has teamed with ex Zodiac veteran Tim Fleming to create a
specific product for large yachts to use as a tender and approved rescue boat.
Available in 3 standard sizes, these aluminum hull rigid inflatables (RIBS) can be
customized to any length within 10% of the standard models (min 4.20).
This a brand new design that incorporates the latest thinking in practical ideas and features as
well as the latest SOLAS standards.
They can be used on yachts under 500 tons that don’t require the full SOLAS certificate
or on Yachts over 500 tons that do.
The design of the RQT is optimized for a large Yacht application thru lessons learned in
decades of supplying ships tenders and the challenges of onboard maintenance. It is
different from other yacht tenders in that it incorporates a host of, by traditional tender’s
standards, unusual features that are designed to make the tenders more practical and
easier to maintain.

Its original conception is a dedicated design for Yachts, not converted or
adapted from other forms of tenders.
Interior space in a small Rib is always at a premium and innovative thinking
supported by precise engineering provides a compact, original package that
makes a practical crew tender.
The RQT boats are built by a high quality aluminum boat builder with an ISO
9000 type quality control system that is essential to produce premium quality
approved SOLAS craft.
The RQT 530 is a 5.3m (18’) RIB constructed with an aluminum hull to
ensure lightness, rigidity, maintainability and durability. It is a deep V design
for optimum performance in different wave conditions with a prominent
forefoot for excellent directional manouevrability and sufficient hull volume in
the bow to ride over waves for a dry ride.
Figure 1 the deep bow shape gives the hull plenty of volume for a
dry smooth ride
It is equipped with a ‘tall ‘ removable, wraparound inflatable buoyancy tube
designed to maximise the comfort of passengers, the buoyancy of the boat, the
interior space inside the boat, to provide all round fendering to protect the
yacht and high enough to minimize spray from passengers and cargo. It is
easily removable by the ships crew for onboard maintenance or replacement.
The configuration of this tube comprises of an upper and lower tube. For low
profile storage purposes, the upper tube can be delated and inflated seperately
to the lower tube. The use of an optional 12 v intergrated air pump in the boat
makes this a seamless operation.
It is powered with a Yanmar 125hp diesel engine driving a waterjet using a
gearbox. This package is often found in small diesel craft and is supported
wordwide. The gearbox provides a full « neutral »position as well as the ability
to back flush the waterjet to clean out any debris. The engine space and engine
cover is designed to give complete access to the parts of the engine that need
regular inspection

Other accessories and options can be fitted to the boat as per the choice of the
Owner.
The configuration of the RQT is optimised for the application of a tender for a
large yacht. The following is a list of features and benefits :
-
The helm is positioned forward of the boat (as opposed to the aft of the
boat on other similar sized tenders). The ensures the helmsman has a
clear vision ahead especially at sub planning speeds when approaching
the swim grid of the yacht or a dock. The sole at the helm is lowered so
that the driver can stand and lean as well as sit.
Figure 2 a variety of inflatable tube, upholstery and hull color
options are available
-
There is a large raised foredeck area which affords easy landing for
passengers embark/disembarking from the tender and dedicated steps
down to the deck. Optional removable boarding assist poles may be
fitted here. If required, the foredeck area may be shortended to give
more space in the deck area between the foredeck and the engine cover.
This space may be used for additional seating or other accessories (dive
bottle storage for example)
-
There is a full unhindered walkway (when side seats are folded) along
both sides of the tender offering safe passage between bow and stern.
This is useful for crew loading cargo or passengers finding their seats
without having to step over obstructions
-
There are ample opportunities to fit optional bow and stern boarding
ladders which assist passengers to embark/disembark from the beach,
the water or the dock alike.
-
The engine space cover is designed to give complete access to the key
parts of the engine for inspection and regular maintenance. Likewise
for the gearbox, the batteries and the waterjet. This has been a specific
design focus due to the importance of on board maintenance , even in
yacht garages with very low ceilings.

-
Full access to fuel and electrical systems is also provided via inspection
hatches or cavity lids.
-
The inflatable buoyancy tube is easily and quickly removable, by the
crew, in the unlikely event of a catastrophic failure for major repairs or
replacement. This is achieved by aluminum extrusions allowing the
tube to slide on and off.
-
Aluminum hull material is heavily favoured over GRP in some parts of
the Industry. Aluminum is well accepted in the Superyacht sector. The
USCG and US Navy, as well as some other National Authoriteis, will
only accept aluminum RIBS due to their maintainability and resistance
to hull failure.
