CARVER YACHTS – The Carver 56 Voyager SE
CARVER YACHTS – The Carver 56 Voyager SE
“I’ve given parties that have made Indian rajahs green with envy. I’ve had prima donnas break $10, 000 engagements to come to my smallest dinners. When you were still playing button back in Ohio, I entertained on a cruising trip that was so much fun that I had to sink my yacht to make my guests go home.” –anonymous
It’s amazing how the world of boating has came to age, dating back at the genesis of Carver Yachts in 1954 where building of crafts began with wooden designed runabouts. Then 50 years later on, you dine under the stars, toss or place your cool sips from an integral beverage holder or similarly, enjoy drinks from a wet bar with a divided sink.
Apparently, there’s a drift in design of crafts with flying bridges inclining toward fully or partly roofed entertainment areas under a hardtop. Such kinds of layouts end up exposing fully aft seat sections or enclose seats with flapping bimini top. But thanks to Carver 56 Voyager; the most popular Sedan bridge in the Caver Yacht fleet. This is a boat that does not only feature a modern pilothouse, but also gives the definition of an indoor-to-outdoor flying bridge. Of course, planing from the flying bridge is amazing and a great experience even on ragged days but with a superior tainted weather gear on. Conversely, imagine running down the waterway on a breezy day in the comfort of a pilothouse…
The Carver 56 Voyager introduces a unique C.A.S.T. system construction, which is superior yet, balancing styling innovation.

Comfort Beyond Measurement:
The Caver 56 is both a masterpiece and a state-of-the-art. At a glance, her smooth lines, sophisticated styling plus attention to detail is inimitable: Step aboard all the away forward, jumbo queen island-berth will take your breath away; positioned in the VIP stateroom entailed therein are; antique curtains, sheets, linens and carpets that are neatly matched. Just aft forward to port incorporates a guest stateroom with a convertible sofa bestowing bunks for two. Forget about condos, its real life inside here; actually, ‘is as plush as a day at the spa’…Thanks to the overhead hatch and four port lights – aeration and profusion of halogen illumination ensures efficient thermal insulation all around the cabin.
Both cabins are carved up to the same degree of detail and finishing – for example; there is a spacious head with stall tower in both cabins. Drawers tuck neatly underneath the berth plus two cedar-feinted hanging lockers provide more than just storage. The head gives entrances to both companionway and VIP stateroom. Located amidships is a spacious master stateroom, where master cabin is magnificently finished and accompanies loads of amenities. So for the perceptive yachting couple, oversized-queen island berth will not only be of contentment, but will also ensure a cozy sound sleep. The en suite master head is divided and includes a striking vanity, sink, separate tub and a shower stall.
Intimate Galley
If Emeril Lagase or Bobby Flay were to perform a mouthwatering grill at the Carver 56’s galley, they’ll tell you all you need is, the right ingredient, the right recipe and the right equipment: Paramount innovation makes the 56’s galley a chef’s address; an underneath-mount two-basin sink is set up in clean, modern solid countertops. Further forward, the aft galley is opened to allow the chef socialize with guests in the salon. What’s more, there’s included three burner electric ovens, coffee maker, a microwave, an electric range, freezer and side-by-side under counter refrigerator. And of course, to wind it up – just make sure dinner guests are included!
Deck: Superior Life Aboard
A large stainless steel frame glass-sliding doors leads in to the dream on spacious salon. On the inside, two lone chairs border a 32-inch LCD TV which alcoves with motorized lift. The salon’s social area makes full use for the wide beam and the window styling further opens up the space. The roomy U-shaped dinette seats six for dinner or makes a relaxed conversation area in combination with salon’s amply sized ultra-leather sofa with built-in double incliners. The décor package is upgraded in the 7-foot headroom that accommodates even the tallest of guests. Other the standard entertainment package comprises of; AM/FM receiver, satellite radio system and a DVD/CD changer.
Bridge: Serious Entertainment
To balance off the pilothouse, the Caver 56 accompanies a fully-equipped helm with standard controls and instrumentation such as; patented Carver docking System and a rudder angle indicator. Crew and guest will enjoy plenty of seating – thanks to the U-shaped lounger (seats up to seven adults). What’s more, there is a wet bar and room for housing optional equipment like refrigerator, icemaker, and an electric grill. While rear aft, there is also a spacious cockpit that can provide for further entertainment purposes or can supplement as home base water sport activities.
Carver Docking System
Of all the latest high-tech systems onboard; the Carver Fleet Incorporates Carver Docking System – which evidently is a user-friendly controller for both bow and stern thrusters. Further included is a wireless controller which facilitates close quarters maneuvering to be executed from any point onboard – giving a huge advantage to shorthanded cruise experience.
Kick It: Both Calm and Rough Days
Testing the Carver 56 Voyager SE on a twin Volvo D-12 diesels (675 HP) and on both rough and calm conditions, the 29’ by 32” props has a planing of 15 seconds. While her top speed of 2360 rpm gives 29.8 knots (34½ miles per hour). But after scheming optimal cruising speed on 75% full throttle, at 1750 rpm on a speed of 19.2 ( 22.1 mph). The Carver 56 Voyager gave a fuel range of 423 decree miles, equivalent to 368 nautical miles.
Include three sumptuous cabins, the spacious salon and well-appointed flying bridge, and certainly a motor yacht that accommodates attention to detail from both small and big features. Finalize it with comfort and versatility of a contemporary dual-station design and what do you have? A frontrunner!

CARVER BOATS –The Carver 564 Aft Cabin
CARVER BOATS –The Carver 564 Aft Cabin
“Electrically controlled sunroof, profusion of daylight fills the pilothouse to provide for fresh air and sunlight.”
Not only did Carver Company increased its sales outside Great lakes region to become a truly recognized brand and a market leader of the luxury Motoryacht, but this also marked an increase in building vessels with required structural standards. In fact, the Motoryacht became identical with the Carver trademark in the early 1990s.
Today, Carver embarks on the new design; the 56 Motoryacht aft Cabin, a masterpiece that has the comfort and interior space identical to that of a 65-footer. The luxurious Carver 564 Aft Cabin is a boat that bonds on a unique layout; it manages a superior interior room without compromising style, and practicality. Her elevated bridge deck and molded walkways amplify livable space within. She’s quite larger than she appears to be. The 56 houses three different levels for entertaining plus three private staterooms within en suite heads, and all inclusively air conditioned.
Up in the fly bridge area there’s ample seating for up to 9 persons, on the flybridge command center, it incorporates threefold pedestal helm seats, complete with instrumentation and magnificent vision both aft and for. On the roomy aft deck area is a thoughtfully enclosed and air conditioned providing the perfect spot for entertainment or relaxing. There’s a lot of deck
space, hence owners can locate several options for seating space and storage arrangement.
Moving down to another social centre, stairways leads to the aft deck on a spacious salon, which takes benefit of almost the full 15’4” beam, courtesy of side decks which are elevated above the saloon chaise longue. To port is an a L-shaped ultra leather lounge that seats five contentedly while the opposite is an entertainment hub along with a love settee nearby.
Forward to port is a single standing dinning table surrounded by four individual seats – which makes a perfect dinning arrangement for couples or a family of four – of course a very unique feature that you won’t see anywhere else. What’s more, U-shaped partially sunken galley sits opposite the dinning table and it includes; hardtop counter with a dual burner stove, optional coffee maker, microwave oven, a double sink with designer faucet and below refrigerator.
Forward of the salon, guest stateroom welcomes you with its own Island-queen bed, en suite head with vanity and bathe stall, two cedar line wardrobes and storage room. While just aft of the salon is the master stateroom with mirrored ceilings and also features an island pedestal queen berth, luxurious appointments, gorgeous cherry dresser/cabinet and trim and more storage room.
Conveniently, there’s an access to the cockpit via the master stateroom. The cockpit which sports nearly 82 square feet of space, molded boarding steps, a full transom door guides to a large swim platform with space that can house a tender, loads of storage and tidily tucked shore power receptacle.
Engine
The Carver 564 Aft Cabin is powered by two Volvo D-12 electronic diesel engines. This engine was mainly designed to cater for faster planning crafts. In fact, the Volvo D-12 diesel engine accompanies an Electronic Diesel Control (EDC) Mechanism – where ignition timing is electronically controlled, thus facilitating more resourceful fuel burning in the cylinders – which best illustrate why at the end of every cruise level; you have a cost effective fuel burn, reduced exhaust emission, and increased power experience.
Moreover, when the Carver 564 is powered and put to plane, the D-12s gets the boat up on plane smoothly, while her engines don’t emit noise or smoke on full throttle burst. That’s the bottom line of a faultless engine and it just suits the 564 perfectly.
The engine itself incorporates; a gear-driven fuel pump, six electronic injectors, freshwater cooled turbo charger and mostly importantly, the electronic engine controls and displays for exact rpm settings and straightforward engine diagnostics.
Yet, the D-12 engine builds up the highest torque at just 1400 rpm to get the larger vessels up and running faster. The Carver is very responsive considering it is a full Motoryacht and less intricate to doc using the bowthruster.
The exchange for the entire interior room is her fairly high freeboard. Her relative elevated freeboard requires caution when the boat is cruising on a fairly heavy weather. Further, two inserts cling to two 8-foot fiberglass rods which stand directly from the edges of the dive platform. Cleverly, docking aids included assist the captain from the helm to have a clear view of the stern – perhaps when reversing into a slip.
Performance
The Carver 564 aft Cabin’s top cruising speed is 26.5 mph giving 2000 rpm while burning only 54 gph on the Volvo D-12 675 hp diesel engines. That speed gives an expected cruising range of nearly 290 miles settled on the 510g fuel capacity. However, on full throttle the Carver 564 gives 31.5mph with minimal sound of 75 decibels.
At that speed you could expect a cruising range of almost 290 miles based on the 510-gallon fuel capacity. At full throttle the 564 reached 31.5 mph with a low sound reading of only 75 decibels. As you can see, the Carver 564 Motoryacht incorporates all the features of a 65 foot yacht precisely designed into an effortless run yacht, that will not only please you and your guest but it will also be easy on your pocket as well.

CAREER WRITING SYNTHESIS REQUIREMENTS
CAREER WRITING SYNTHESIS REQUIREMENTS
T
he goal of this unit is for students to continue to delve more deeply into the strategies of rhetoric through an introduction to rhetorical analysis of sources related to their major, potential major, and/or possible future career. This will take up all of Weeks 4-5-6 to complete all parts of the assignment. FINAL IS DUE: Tues. 10/13.
YOUR AUDIENCE: The target audience for this paper will be other OU students who might be contemplating a career in your chosen field.
YOUR PURPOSE: Your purpose for writing this synthesis is to provide a guideline for other students to use when “shopping” for a career choice.
RUBRIC: For this project, you will provide a synthesis of the following:
1) 10 pts. – ARTIFACTS: Two or more good career sample artifacts of writing from your field. A brief description of each and what type of writing they represent in the field. These will be Appendix A & B in your paper.
2) 10 pts. – INTERVIEW: Transcript of an interview you will have with a professional working in the field. You will have the final interview transcribed and uploaded to Moodle. This will be Appendix C in your paper.
3) 40 pts. – A narrower, more focused and DETAILED ANALYSIS of communication practices within the field will comprise the majority of the paper broken down as follows:
A. 10 pts: Rhetorical analysis of your artifacts
B. 10 pts: Writing in the field: when, why, how much, what types of writing/communicating?
C. 5 pts: How rhetorical appeals are used to communicate effectively in the field f
D. 5 pts: Controversies in the field
E. 5 pts: Public perception of communication in the field (you’ll use a survey to find this out)
F. 5 pts: Paper’s syntactic fluency/control of language conventions for an academic audience.
WRITING THE DETAILED ANALYSIS
This whole detailed analysis will be a minimum of 4-6 pages long typed, double spaced, and it will be developed through multiple drafts and peer review. In the detailed analysis, you will include 2 types of research:
A. Secondary: An overview of the field. It will encompass a synthesis of all you’ve learned from at least 3 outside secondary sources (i.e. journal articles, magazine articles, newspaper articles, pamphlets, brochures, online material, videos, etc.) and must include these three items:
How one can best be prepared to write in the field, what people are writing, forms of media used. Also include the amount of text composed on a regular basis & types of texts composed
How one uses ethos, pathos, and logos when communicating in this field. Explain how the writing/communicating may be geared towards different audiences and for different purposes.
Discussion of the current controversies within this field. How are they perceived, what’s being written about them, and how may they be resolved?
B. Primary:
At least two artifacts of writing in this field (i.e., a lesson plan, a report, a memo, a proposal, a web page) attached as appendices, which you will rhetorically analyze in the paper. You can ask your interviewee for these or go to the internet to find some. You will provide an overview of what types of texts are regularly composed in the field and the two artifacts will be used as examples.
At least one interview with a professional in the field or an advanced major (in a graduate program). You can use what you learn to write the analysis. NOTE: It is VERY important to make contact with your prospective interview subjects early in this project.
A survey or questionnaire by which you gather public perception from people not working in the field (their perceptions about how people THINK communication works in this field). The survey will also be included in a Moodle Forum.
