You just push the button and the boat holds its position, like the ‘hand of God’ holding the boat in one place!” “On top of the Joystick system we added the positioning system, which is where the magic comes in. Then we added the Express Joystick system that puts you in complete control of the props and the proportional bow and stern thrusters, which ramp up and ramp down progressively depending on the movement of the Joystick. Over the top of those gear boxes is the EC300 dual leverhead station at the main helm. “The Twin Disc integrated system starts with QuickShift transmission for precise control of the propellers. Trevor Tucker, Sales Manager, Northern region, Queensland, NZ, South Pacific and PNG explains how it all fits together seamlessly in one great package. A dedicated, highly accurate and reliable GPS receiver determines the vessel’s exact location and heading and the Twin Disc EC300JS controller commands the Twin Disc QuickShift® transmissions and Twin Disc proportional hydraulic thrusters to smoothly and instantaneously maintain the precise station coordinates and heading. Working in tandem with the with Twin Disc Express Joystick System, Express Positioning® maintains a vessel in a fixed position and heading at the touch of a button. With easy fingertip movements owners control direction and speed, instantaneously. The Twin Disc Express Joystick System® (EJS®) revolutionises docking and slow speed manoeuvering of diesel powered, conventional driveline boats. Added to that, there are three Express Joystick System® stations, one at the main helm, one each side in the cockpit. The Express Joysticks are a sheer joy to use and make docking and manoeuvering simple and user-friendly.”įinito uses the revolutionary new Twin Disc QuickShift transmission, designed to interface with the Twin Disc EC300 MGX Electronic Control System. “We were all convinced by the Twin Disc QuickShift transmission, coupled with its EC300 propulsion. “Ray and Denise experienced the technology first hand at the 2016 Sanctuary Cove Boat Show on the Twin Disc demonstration boat,” said Keith. Working closely with Whitehaven founder, Keith Hanson, Ray and Denise were impressed with all the attributes of the Twin Disc systems. “We wanted everything to be just right, from the layout, fittings and interior details to all the navigational equipment onboard.”
“This is our final boat, hence the name ‘Finito’,” explained Ray. The experienced, long-range cruising couple took delivery of their Whitehaven 7500 Sports Yacht on the Gold Coast and plan to cruise back to their home port of Darwin, taking in plenty of angling, languorous evenings on the foredeck watching the sun set and testing out all the high-tech gear they specified for their one of a kind true bluewater cruising yacht. In mid-November, the new flagship of the Whitehaven Motor Yachts range was officially handed over to its ecstatic owners, Ray and Denise David. The sublime custom-designed and built Whitehaven 7500 Sports Yacht, Finito, was designed as its owners’ “forever boat”, brimming with custom-made features and high-tech equipment, including full, state-of-the-art Twin Disc transmission and propulsion control systems.
