Although it’s not common, some owners like to give their tenders their own names. The owner of an intrepid explorer for visiting all sorts of latitudes has a pretty suitable name in mind for his tender when she’s finished.

She’s joining her mothership, under construction, ahead of taking the owners and guests to and from anchorages in comfort.
