Veritais, the integrated entertainment systems specialist for superyachts, has been appointed to specify, install and commission the high definition audiovisual system for the 46m ketch sailing yacht Christopher which was designed by Ron Holland Design and is currently in build at Pendennis Shipyard.

The system is to be built around a central computer that will provide the software and processing power for media distribution, and which in turn will interface with the yacht’s main data system to allow single point control. A Qnap NAS server with 6 terabytes of memory will store thousands of ordinary and high definition movies along with tens of thousands of music tracks for streaming to any location on board.

A total of ten televisions will be fitted, the largest a 46 inch set in the saloon and the smallest 10 inch screens installed above the crew bunks. The owner and guest areas will have full Bluray cinema systems along with access to satellite TV channels. Each zone will also have Apple TV – a digital media receiver designed to store and play digital content originated from iTunes – giving access to additional broadcast content, and each zone can be controlled either by a dedicated remote control or by using an iTouch or iPhone equipped with the necessary app.

Additional features being installed by Veritais include a party mode that transforms the saloon, main deck, owners’ deck and owners’ study into a single zone for music or other entertainment, and there will be a chartplotter interface to enable the owners, guests and captain to view navigation data on the screens in their respective cabins. Games consoles can also be connected as needed in the guest cabins, owners’ study and the crew mess for those who like their entertainment to be interactive.

The system will link into the superyacht Christopher’s closed circuit TV system for enhanced security and safety, and all the speakers throughout the yacht will be to Audiophile standard. The construction project is being managed by owner’s representative Palm Beach Yachts International and Christopher is due for completion at the end of this year.

Yacht CHRISTOPHER:

At the end of 2008 Pendennis announced the partnership with Ron Holland Design and Palm Beach Yachts International to build a new 46m performance cruising ketch. Construction is well on the way with delivery in late 2010. Three staterooms and a study will provide the owners and their guests with accommodation for up to 12, with a further four cabins forward sleeping eight crew. Launch and delivery to the owner is expected in 2010.
