http://www.riviera.com.au/modelOverview.cfm?type=yacht&prdID=25
AT A GLANCE
• Lifestyle The Riviera 5800 Sport Yacht inherits the design principles of its predecessors the award-winning 3600 and 4700 and the 4400 Sport Yachts most notably the al fresco lifestyle concept. A huge, push-button electric sunroof slides open to bring the outdoors inside, adding to the light, airy feeling of the spacious interior. In open mode, space flows freely between pit and saloon. The galley features quality appliances throughout, including a three-element induction cooktop, two drawer fridges and two drawer freezers, and a liquor cabinet next to an ice maker. Audio-visual entertainment comprises an electric-lift 40″ LCD TV integrated with a Bose AM/FM stereo, DVD player, sub-woofer and five speakers to the saloon. Air-conditioning is standard to the saloon and galley areas.
• Accommodation With options of three or four cabins, plus the addition of optional crew quarters, the Riviera 5800 Sport Yacht is designed for comfort. The master stateroom aft spans the full beam and features a king-size walk-around double bed amidships with en suite. The companionway leads to the VIP guest stateroom forward, with its queen island double bed and ensuite, plus twin cabins on port and starboard sides. The starboard cabin easily converts from twin berth to a double. The port side cabin features two bunks. This cabin is replaced by the galley in the below deck galley layout option. A third bathroom is available to serve the twin cabins.
• Saloon/Galley The stylish stainless steel aft-bulkhead door slides open, providing entry to not only the saloon from the pit but together with an electric up / down window behind the galley and a huge electric sunroof the full al fresco lifestyle. High quality Amtico flooring is used through the galley, for aesthetics and practicality. The main saloon flooring is fully carpeted. Interior woodwork is high grade American cherrywood, gloss finished by Riviera’s state of the art varnishing machine. The standard layout for the saloon includes a U-shaped galley in the starboard aft quarter with a breakfast servery forward and two stools, solid-surface benchtops, three-element induction cooktop, two under-bench drawer fridges and freezers, microwave convection oven, dishwasher, exhaust fan and water purifier. Forward to port is a U-shaped leather lounge/dinette with storage underneath the seats and a cherrywood gloss table. Aft of the dinette is a liquor cabinet, storage and under-bench ice-maker. Saloon entertainment includes an electric-lift 40″ LCD TV integrated with a Bose Lifestyle 48 system. The entire saloon is served by 36,000 BTU reverse cycle air-conditioning.
• pit The pit is both spacious and functional with a teak laid floor, a wide bench-style lounge and table, mounted on electric high/low pedestals, that converts to a daybed. At the wet bar is an electric BBQ. There is a hand-held hot and cold fresh water shower, as well as fresh and sea water pit washdown with quick disconnect outlets.
• Helm The helm console in the forward starboard quarter of the saloon is ergonomically designed, leather wrapped with digital engine displays, plenty of room for navigational screens, two drink holders, storage tray, a leather sports steering wheel and Icom VHF radio with aerial. Digital systems monitor AC and DC power and fluid tank levels via a colour LCD display. Quality leather high-back helm and companion chairs have electric adjustment and footrests. A two-lever electric engine control unit can be replaced by a joystick control for manoeuvring in tight spaces.
• Deck This area features a large sunpad with adjustable backrests and stainless steel rails, drink holders and a coolbox. There is also a music system with external speakers at the sunbed A 50kg Manson anchor and 70 metres of galvanised chain is standard, with the option of a highly polished stainless steel anchor. Fresh and sea water washdown fittings with quick disconnect are located at the anchor locker and a spotlight is fitted to the bow with remote to the helm.
The Riviera 5800 Sport Yacht takes luxury boating to a new level, with its four cabin three bathroom standard layout, full beam master stateroom, and the choice of a lower galley and aft crew cabin. A new digital switching system for DC power enables you to personalise your boat by selecting what mode you want, for example, select cruise or entertainment mode, and the appropriate circuits will be energised.
The boat’s beautiful, sleek unmatched lines match the state of the art propulsion system providing you with faster acceleration, higher top speed, better turning and manoeuvrability all with greater fuel efficiency. Massive interior and exterior entertaining areas combine with simple yet stylish stainless steel framed glass sliding door and the electric sunroof that adds that extra touch of the outdoors.

Oyster Fishing at Whitstable, England (1920)
Bibs at the ready for this documentary showing the journey of the oyster from seabed to dinner plate. We see the oyster smacks (fishing vessels used for trawling) hauling in their plunder, the shellfish being packed for delivery to London and, inevitably, being shucked with gusto by a restaurant’s portly clientele.
The film was shot in Whitstable, a seaside town known as the “Pearl of Kent” for its famous oysters. Beady-eyed viewers may spot prolific early film producer Charles Urban sampling the oysters in the beach footage, squatting on the right. (Alex Davidson)
