Southern Pacific PerformR launched

Written by

Southern Pacific have 30 years’ experience providing chase boats to yacht clubs.

This has led to the creation of a class-leading rigid inflatable with unparalleled seakeeping abilities, the 6m PerformR.

Focussing on yacht club support boats, Rob Shaw Design was commissioned to create a 6-metre inflatable with improved features to make it effortless to operate in any conditions. The team of top naval architect designers worked collectively to produce the ultimate high-performance coach boat.

Alongside Shaw, Hauraki Consultancy engineered an extremely stiff and strong GRP hull with internal side channels to improve water flow to the bilge.

The high-sheer bow design, outboard well and high transom provide a dry ride with controlled wind performance, allowing it to penetrate through all seaways whilst maximising the waterline length.

The PerformR includes seating aft without compromising internal space and features improved storage space in the bow. The hull deck and internal structure are entirely CNC moulded, with a range of tubes being offered.
