Very smart deep vee steel cruiserwith inboard diesel giving speed to 22 knots with cruising speed of 10- 15 knots A large Steel cruiser with an incredible amount of accommodation. Although the hull shape is a deep vee and of planing characteristics, it would be very expensive to run at 20 knots cruising, and would most likely be driven at a comfortable speed of 10 knots Engines are M.W.M. Vee twelves rated at 415 BHP. Each should give a top speed of 22 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots. 10 kva generator set. Excellent seaboat.
Builder must watch weight and build in no extra weight. Outfitting to be as light as possible.
The advantage of building a steel boat of the size is that it can be built in the open and when the hull is completed the steel structure can be blasted back to "white metal" and epoxy painted to give a lifetime of protection if the paint system is maintained correctly. |
