Canadian Yard’s 142-Foot Flagship Will Debut in Fort Lauderdale.
Waterfront: Rising Sun Chaser

Richmond 142
Richmond Yachts in Vancouver, British Columbia, has delivered 142-foot (43.3-meter) Sun Chaser to her owner, an Arizona businessman. The new tri-deck, with exterior styling by Ward Setzer, is Hull No. 3 in the series and the yard’s first 142-footer. The hull was pulled from the same mold as 138-foot Status Quo and is built to ABS class and MCA code.

Sun Chaser features a roomy main-deck master stateroom and bath. Four ensuite guest staterooms are on the lower deck. A bridge-deck VIP suite completes the six-stateroom interior. The galley has enough space for a casual dinette.

The spa deck includes a large, seven-by-eight-foot Jacuzzi, fronted by a half-moon-shaped bar with five stools. The bartender can serve forward to the stools as well as aft to the hot tub. A dayhead on the spa deck reduces traffic flow to the lower decks.

Powered by a pair of 2,000-hp MTU 16V2000s, Sun Chaser has a top speed of 19 knots and cruises comfortably at 16 knots.
