Why not one or two gasturbines in that "Super-extravaganza" Miss Sweden - the name is very well chosen!
Seatek is a diesel with a good weight/power ratio, but low TPO, Lambo: very costly to maintain - I had two Lambo's myself.
A very, very beautiful design - needs according propulsion. Trimax = good idea.

[SC1]

Thanks for your nice compliments.
We now the problems with Lambo engines and after advise from the legend Mr. Fabio Buzzi we will use 2 x CAT C12 Diesel.
This engines run 2000 hours without problems compared to max 50 hours with supercharged V8s or the superexotic Lambo engines.
Turbines could maybe be an extrem option.

I am going to tease you a bit further: offer the boat in electrolitically polished Titanium - a TiVaMo alloy - that gives as result a super technolook (rivetted hull) combined with the sleek lines of the boat and a super-strength and corrosion-resistant lightweight hull. There are yards who can build it. Together with an interior of some prominent designer you might have a creature of which the riches of the world are standing in a row for......mouthwatering....

Is that a tease or not?.........

[SC1]

Sounds like a wild idea that will suit this wild design perfect!!!
Please give ideas about boatyards to build her.
Offcorse there be an designer interior by PRADA in alligator leather

Nothing tease us here in Sweden.....maybe "stripteases"

[D'ARTOIS]

Electrolitical polished Titanium looks like polished silver, but some alterations in the proceedings can influence the colour from a deep gold to steelblue and a number of colours in between.

I have in the late '90's on behalf of an US citizen designed a 63 mtr motoryacht powered by a triple SDS (surface drive propellor system) 45.000 hp were needed to power it up to 40+ knots.

The buildingmaterial? Titanium. Through the downfall of the Iron curtain, immense stocklots with lots of technology were sold by the Russians.

A Russian professor in metallurgy showed me the way into he mysteries of this
relative uncommon material and I went to some shipyards where parts of different alloys were used for the submarine division.

This means that I have the know how to create any ship from Titanium, provided the right alloy is available and the forming presses with enough strength to roll and fom the sheets, plus some other items - but that remains
a secret.

I will mail you through the day with some technical info related to the forming process - the main difficulty in the building process.

Hybrid hydrofoils

Look up Feathercraft in Google ,

They built great aluminum run abouts in the 50's and 60's.

Would be really easy to copy in Titanium

Was there ever any 'explosive forming' utilized? Or is that a possibility with plastic explosives and a hull form built into a pit, sort of sand casting style.

Well, first of all must the design itself be a "bomb" for make it possible.

That was funny. I got a very good laugh this morning.

Actually I have heard of a number of 'explosive forming' technics with metals. I just don't know any details of the subject.

[yipster]

i gave it a shot beeing asked by artois to do some 3d drawings based on SC1 miss sweden profile drawing.
do ya guys think it is "bomb" enough?

[yipster]

100 knots, turbo's on zf or arneson drives, arrow system under the side planks and lots of other goody's.
not satisfied with that "bomb" stern shape yet, what do you say?

Nice try yipster

Very close to original design of this "Rocket" I made with this half hull model o back in -97.
Your canopy designs will even make impression to Agent 007 and with 2 x 1600Hp turbines she will be pretty fast too

Yes, its time to see her floating out of the drawing board now
