Superyacht "Como" is a 42 meter aluminum motor yacht built in Auckland, New Zealand by Alloy Yachts. Launched in Jan 07, Como is powered by two Caterpillar C30 V12 1550 Hp engines, giving it a top speed of 17.5 Knots and a range of 4000 nautical miles.

Como did a short "shake down" tour of NZ before heading to the South of France on a Dockwise ship. Como is privately owned and has been cruising the French and Italian Rivera since arriving in Europe.

The Hydro tap was installed by Alloy as part of the initial build spec and is heavily used by the five crew everyday. Says onboard Engineer Geoff Myers,

"Instant access to boiling water without the need for a kettle on the bench top is a real bonus for the Chef as there is limited bench space. And the stewardess loves the instant boiling/chilled water.

Unit has run perfectly from day one. From an Engineer's point of view, I found the repairs simple and the unit easy to work on. I would recommend a Zip HydroTap in all future new builds."

The Marketing Team at Zip are planning an in-depth investigation on Zip Systems installed aboard these luxury Super-Yachts as they cruise the Mediterranean! We're just waiting for that invitation...
