Extension of boat deck
You’d think 132 ft. (40.2 m.) is enough but, it’s never enough 
.
We’d like to create a little bit extra space for our dive tender. We were looking at 7.5 m. Humber Inflatables (2.8 m. wide offshore model) and 2 extra feet of boat deck would be nice. We’ve now decided to go for a custom aluminium tender design (see post (…soon). It would also give two extra feet of tip clearance if we have to land with a helicopter. That’s about a 25% more than we have now although since we wrote this post, we decided (September 2009) to create an extractable helipad.

definitely the one on the left, having the extra rain cover and space will be worth the very slight sacrifice in appearances. I dont think you would ever notice the difference, apart from when working on the deck!
