BEST GENERAL PURPOSE TENDER WILLIAMS DIESELJET 625<br />
The humble Williams Jet Tender never receives enough credit in<br />
my opinion. However, there are obviously a few other advocates<br />
as in 2021 they launched their 10,000th tender. The colour scheme is<br />
totally customisable, they’re ideal for beach landings in the Bahamas,<br />
they’re an absolute pleasure to drive and perfect for watersports, with<br />
smooth, powerful acceleration and high-speed manoeuvring. Plus, the<br />
rubber sponsons allow you to leave the junior deckhand to refuel from<br />
the mothership without worrying about your paintwork. The range of<br />
vessels on offer is vast and growing so there is always a Williams that<br />
will fit nicely within your current line up.<br />
BEST TOY CUDAJET<br />
The World’s First Underwater Jetpack,<br />
need I say more? It was developed<br />
by British underwater enthusiast Archie<br />
O’Brien while he was in his final year at<br />
Loughborough Design School. Among<br />
other things, he wanted to create a<br />
system that was lighter and faster than<br />
existing products. The CudaJet is the final<br />
commercial version of what he envisioned.<br />
A hardwired handheld trigger-style remote<br />
is used to control the speed. The jetpack<br />
can be used down to a maximum depth<br />
of 40 metres and delivers 40 kg of thrust,<br />
reportedly taking the wearer to a top speed<br />
of 3 metres per second. Sadly, I have yet to<br />
personally test this device, but extremely<br />
excited to receive an invitation at the next<br />
yacht show, hint hint.<br />
