You have voted and we have a winner!
Congratulations to the winner of our lastest Riviera Photo Competition
Our readers have voted his photo titled “Maiden voyage” entered by Mark Skipper as their favourite. This superb photo captures ‘Resolute’ in the soft early autumn morning light as she headed south from the Riviera facility on the Gold Coast to her home port in Broken Bay in New South Wales, a run of around 400 nautical miles.
The photo was taken off Forster on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales as Mark was piloting their new 58 Sport Motor Yacht home. With Mark’s entry, he noted, “Headed south at 28 knots with the Humphree stabilisers in full flight. Such a relaxing trip. Quiet and in control.” This perfectly describes the performance and blue-water capabilities of the Riviera Sport Motor Yacht.
Thank you, Mark, for sharing this great Riviera moment with us. We’ll be in touch regarding your prize – a fabulous pair of Riviera folding teak deck chairs with a matching folding side table. Just perfect for when extra guests arrive and you need some additional seating on the Alfresco deck, or when it’s time to be even more laid-back and enjoy the cockpit or boarding platform.
Our next photo competition is now open
Our new prize is a superior Propspeed® protection pack. Propspeed® creates an ultra-slick, hydrophobic and non-stick surface for your propellers, shafts, pods, bow thrusters and rudders – keeping them free from marine growth and corrosion.
Our prize includes:
- 1x Propspeed® Large Kit (PSLKIT) – covering a surface areaof up to 3.4 m2
- 1x Foulfree™ Transducer Kit (FFKIT) – covering a surface areaof 0.1 m2
- 1x Foulfree Multi-Surface Medium Kit (FFKITMS-M) – covering a surface areaof 2 m2
Every new Riviera motor yacht comes with the added protection of Propspeed® foul-release coating applied to propellers and underwater drive gear. This strong, long-lasting defence against marine growth and corrosion improves performance, lowers fuel and operational costs all whilst protecting your investment. It also has sustainable properties that reduce the spread of invasive species and is a biocide-free coating system.
Specially formulated to prevent marine growth from bonding to metal surfaces below the waterline, Propspeed®’s Clear Coat has both excellent foul-resistance in static conditions and superior foul-release properties in operation. It creates a hydrophobic surface using molecules that do not mix with water and therefore becomes a foul-release, not an antifoul.
Clear Coat is also an excellent insulator that reduces the risk of corrosion by electrically isolating the metal and limiting the exchanges between the ions and the gases contained in the water and the metal. The Etching Primer that is part of the system is a self-healing coating that chemically passivates the metal surface in any damaged areas, keeping your running gear electrochemically protected through harsh conditions.
Riviera strives to deliver the best in luxury and performance for our motor yacht owners and the inclusion of the Propspeed® coating system is just another reason why you will enjoy boating more with Riviera.
