Terminator is a large fast “Delta” Rib powered by two 90hp Honda four stroke engines.

Like Badger she is on loan to us from H.M. Customs and Excise. She is an extemely fast craft and her speed and stablity in rough seas gives MVS Tay the capability to give advanced training in the specialised seamanship skills needed to pilot large powerful craft at speed.

Terminator is fitted with GPS, radio and crew intercom and echo sounder, and has a self righting unit mounted on top of the “A” frame.
