| Richmond 142 |  |
The latest launch from Vancouver,
B.C.–based Richmond Yachts is 142-foot (43-meter) Sun Chaser, a
tri-deck recently purchased by an Arizona businessman. Pulled from the same mold
as 138-foot (42-meter) Status Quo, Hull No. 3 features exterior styling
by Ward Setzer and interior design by Sean Pavlik. Built to ABS class and MCA
code, she boasts a six-stateroom layout with a bridge-deck VIP and main-deck
master, which is two feet longer than that of her 138-foot predecessor. Her
galley provides space for a dinette.
"We lightened the boat so Sun Chaser is the
same weight as the 138-footer," says Keith Kiselback, Richmond’s chief operating
officer. "The 2,000-hp MTU 16V2000 engines are half the weight, so she has an
improved horsepower-to-weight ratio. And due to the modified stern angle, she is
five feet longer on the waterline."
The salon is two feet longer than that of her predessor.
Shortening the swim step added extra footage to the already lengthened aft main
deck, and a dayhead was added to the sun deck. Sun Chaser is
expected to have a top speed of 19 knots and will cruise at 16 knots.
