Construction
Madiz was designed by G. L. Watson, and It is the last surviving ship to have been designed by him personally. She was built by the Ailsa Shipyard in Troon, Scotland on the Clyde. Madiz is a classic yacht and retains most of her original deck equipment and unique panelling, the original Burma teak on much of the deck and all the deck’s side panelings. Cuban mahogany in the original master bedrooms and solid oak paneling in the reception areas. Originally she was powered by two steam engines. These were later replaced by two MTU Mercedes Maybach diesel engines.
History
He renamed her Rhouma. During World War I, Rhouma was hired for use as an auxiliary patrol yacht. Between the wars, she was lengthened and had an upper deck of cabins added, and her engines were converted to run on oil fuel. In World War II, she served in the Royal Navy as the Royal Patrol Yacht, HMS Hiniesta, and was used for calibrating huff-duff equipment in GB coastal waters. In 1989 Madiz was used as the primary setting for an episode of the British TV series Agatha Christie's Poirot. Between 2003 and 2006, Madiz underwent another major refit and was re-classed under Lloyd’s Register of Shipping in her original Class of +100A1.
