About this tender
The Origin 57 is the build we ask Evene for when a 30-metre-plus programme needs a tender that earns its place on the swim platform rather than simply filling it. At 5.65m with a 2.25m beam and a dry weight of 1,340 kg, the numbers are compact enough for a conventional davit cycle but substantial enough to carry nine persons in genuine comfort. The Yanmar 4LV diesel returns 40 mph - a figure that keeps pace with most day-running requirements without demanding the engineering overhead of a twin-engine installation.
What separates the Origin 57 from a straightforward GRP runabout is the build philosophy Evene has applied to the hull and the deck. The Petestep hull form is designed to reduce planing resistance and spray, which matters at the speeds this engine class produces. Cork decking and eco-upholstery are standard fitment, not optional add-ons, and the yard has published a life-cycle assessment covering the production phase - 17,840 kg CO2e - which gives programme managers a defensible sustainability number at the outset rather than a marketing claim.
Standard equipment covers the practical ground well: a Raymarine Axiom 12-inch MFD with depth sounder and chartplotter, automatic fire extinguisher, engine flushing point, bilge pump, and four padeye lift points. The options list extends the boat into a more capable specification - single-point or custom in-floor lifting points for man-riding compliance, AIS, VHF, a Fusion audio system, integrated bimini and spray dodger, and a fresh water shower. MCA-compliant high-visibility patch is available for programmes operating under flag-state survey.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
Evene fits the Petestep hull form as standard on the Origin 57, a stepped-hull geometry intended to reduce planing resistance and control spray at running speeds. Cork decking and eco-upholstery are also standard rather than cost options, giving the boat a consistent sustainability position across the whole package.
Evene has produced a life-cycle assessment covering the production phase of the Origin 57, returning 17,840 kg CO2e. That is a concrete, auditable figure - not a general sustainability claim - and it gives project managers and captains a baseline to work with when reporting against a yacht's environmental programme.
The Yanmar 4LV 195 hp diesel is approved for use with HVO100 renewable diesel, confirmed by an on-site HVO approval badge. For programmes already running HVO across the mothership, extending that fuel policy to the tender requires no engine modification.
The Origin 57 seats nine persons in 5.65m of waterline, which is a meaningful capacity-to-length ratio for a single-engine diesel tender. Adjustable sliding helm seats and a folding helm console support both operational and social configurations without structural changes.
Custom in-floor lifting points, explicitly noted as required for man-riding compliance, are available as an option alongside standard four-padeye lift points. Programmes requiring man-riding certification can therefore specify the correct lifting arrangement at order rather than retro-fitting after delivery.
