BACKGROUND. Made in Taiwan in a factory that looks more like a hospital than a boat manufacturing facility. New Zealand and French design hence the "Arvor" look. First vessels imported to Australia in about 2008 and perhaps the timing was such that the brand did not take off here although a fair number were sold. This model is used for commercial use/hire in Sydney.

" Smartliner " is a well known brand in Europe and USA.

The fibreglass hull is unusual. The
Vacuum Infused technique is used which gives extra strength without the weight of superfluous resin. (Glass fiber gives strength. Resin doesn't. )
It's normally the preserve of ultra expensive racing yachts and high powered racing boats. Riviera tried it in the past but it was too expensive and they reverted to hand lay up, cloth and resin. Look up the vacuum build process on Google.


The "Sea Keeper I. " (See photo. ) This gyroscopic stabiliser changes the vessel's dynamics and when activated makes this vessel almost as stable as a 26ft. Cat. You save on sea sickness tabs ! "Seakeeper" is an American gizmo. Again, suggest Google.

Accompanying pictures are fairly self explanatory.
