WORLD FIRST
It allows a family-style cruiser, or recreational fishing rig, to achieve speeds equivalent to very high efficiency sports vessels, such as the Scarab brand, using the same power sources.
WORLD FIRST
The skis allow the design to maintain cruise speeds in seas and heavy chop
conditions that force other designs to slow considerably or face damage, which the builders claim to be a potential life saver.
WORLD FIRST
At cruise speeds, in the 70 km/h range, the vessel generates a hardly perceptible wake or bow wave, which is a problem of considerable concern to waterway authorities the world over. (The US Coast Guard’s Recreational Boating Statistics 2012, reported 633 accidents in the USA due to force of wave/wake, hazardous waters and weather of which 14% cost 106 lives).
WORLD FIRST
The boat can be configured to have its fuel load outside the hull, within the special ski housings, eliminating fire or explosion within the hull confines due to leakages or spills.
WORLD FIRST
At cruise speed, the design draws as little as 100mm of draught in its ski paths, making it an environmental asset in waters where concerns exists for boat strikes on amphibian life and damage to sea grasses such as surrounding marine parks.
WORLD FIRST
When not underway, or at slow speeds, the skis impart stability to the boat, considerably reducing the vertical forces and rolling experienced by other designs that induce seasickness and cause injury, or man overboard events.
WORLD FIRST
The vessel can be exported in a flat format that is shipping efficient and/or allow destination clients to add their own superstructures to an exceptionally strong foundation that provides all the inherent advantages of the design.
