Hi Richard
I s=oke to Carlos a few days ago. He asked me to reach out to you and touch bas= on the tender project.
We had sent Carlos additional information at his request o= a number of items including some sound
dampening products that Mr. Epstein=might be considering for the vessel. I'm not sure if he had t=e opportunity to
discuss any of those items with him. We know that he=is very concerned about noise reduction in his vessels and we've
us=d a number of products with great results when customers have requested the=.
Mr= Epstein was on an extremely tight schedule when he visited. We got h=m out on a customer's
tender which was smaller and a different layo=t than the boat he was interested in, but it was a yacht level finish tende=
with full teak decks. It was a an open vessel, not a cabin one.=/o:p>

l'=e attached some photos of a tender that is very much in line with the layou= Mr. Epstein has
expressed a preference. It's a little larger=at 12.9 meters, but this style could be adapted to the 11.3 meter
platform.=nbsp; This particular boat is diesel/sterndrive but it is also available wi=h outboard power. We are building
two sister-ships to it currently at=our facility. We built two vessels this size for Oracle Racing, which=we would love to
get Mr. Epstein out on, but unfortunately they are both in=San Francisco at the moment.
<=pan style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-se=ir;color:#1F497D">We would love the
opportunity to go over the option= for the vessel in more detail with Mr. Epstein. If more convenient f=r him, I'd be
happy to make a trip down to New York to meet with hi=.
I can be reached any time via email or my cell.

All the boats are available with either full-ci=cle inflatable tubes or D-shaped tubes in either
inflatables or foam core.&=bsp; Our foam core is soft and externally looks just like a RHIB. It i= not hard and unforgiving
like a SafeBoat collar.
I've sent some photos o= several other vessels for you to look at as well.
Once we narrow down a size and b=sic layout, we'll create a new GA specifically for your
employer*=804ks project.

Steve, =/o:p>
I j=st spoke with Carlos. I believe they called last year about a custom yacht t=nder for their
private island, Little Saint James.
They are looki=g for a tender that is similar to their current tender (see attached photos=.
Sounds like they have their eye on the Oracle 10 meter but with a slightl= different layout.
I told Carlos you would get back to him to dis=uss options and pricing. His number is
