Cockwells Launch 8m Convertible Limousine for International Market
Sunshine yellow and pewter grey. SMARTGLASS® control and
joystick manoeuvring. The warmth of teak combined with cool
grey caulking. This latest creation from Cockwells Modern &
Classic Boatbuilding transports superyacht tender design to
another level.
T/T Scout is like no other. She doesn’t just reflect the bold
stature of her mothership – the 63m motor yacht that was
custom built in 2018 by Hakvoort Shipyard in the Netherlands
– her vibrant hull and ingenious technology imbue her with a
personality all of her own.
Providing luxurious accommodation for ten guests and two
crew at a rapid 37 knots, T/T Scout is touchscreen heaven.
Slide the dual-sectioned glass roof half way, fore or aft, to semi-
enclose the saloon or open it fully to recline beneath a cobalt
blue sky. Close it completely to offer respite from the searing
heat of the midday sun or protection from inclement weather,
and access the temperature-controlled saloon from the cockpit
through electric twin doors. Take in panoramic views through
SMARTGLASS® that can be tinted to offer protection from
ultra-violet rays. All at the touch of a button.
This exceptional tender can also be driven via joystick control
from the helm, in three different modes, with the added
advantage of a reversing camera and a bow thruster. But this
is no conventional joystick control. This is intelligent design
that incorporates two engines working independently and a
GPS computer system that determines how they move, which
means that T/T Scout can manoeuvre in any direction.
