Riviera’s New Product Development team has had another very productive period with more key milestones achieved in the production of the new 64 Sports Motor Yacht. Following the recent completion of production moulds, the first 64SMY deck, headliner and bathroom modules were laminated by Riviera’s experienced lamination technicians. The deck alone is over 19 metres long, and incorporates multiple different laminates and core materials to optimise strength and minimise weight.
The headliner and bathroom mouldings that provide an outstanding gloss finished surface inside the yacht have now been bonded to the deck, forming one strong component. This entire assembly was released from the mould, using tooling that doubles as a transport base designed by Riviera’s in-house engineering team.
Meanwhile, in Riviera’s dedicated Engineering facility, master craftsmen were fitting the components and systems required to propel the yacht and provide the many services and systems that make a Riviera so comfortable and luxurious.
This includes fitting the twin 1550hp V12 MAN engines to millimetre accuracy to ensure the performance and smoothness for which Riviera Sports Motor Yachts are respected the world over.
