Hi all,
I'm gathering information on fast & big patrol boats designs. 30+ knots fully loaded and over 30 m LOA. Any help will be most appreciated.

Cheers.

AWL anti-radar geometry/coatings should be considered, depending on theatre of intended use.

Don't forget the SES option.

Thanks all.
I'm focusing on conventional coastal (littoral) monohulled ones.

Cheers.

African campaign?

[Guillermo]

Nor for a specific country or region neither for an specific service. Just gathering general info on all types within such basic specifications.

Cheers.

A whole list by country is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrol_boat

Seagoing patrol boats are typically around 30m (100 ft) in length and usually carry a single medium caliber artillery gun as main armament, and a variety of lighter secondary armament such as machine guns or a close-in weapon system.

And another alternate:

[Guillermo]

I have been already reviewing that list, George, thanks.
Stiletto is outstanding, but not of conventional shape.

Cheers.

One resource, If you can find a copy is the book "Jane's Fighting Ships" There will be a wealth of information in it. It's VERY expensive though, around $700 US (web subscription around $400 (?)). You might find a copy in a library in a city which has a major ship building industry.

The "Pocketbook" series is affordable less than 1/10th the price of the large format series. Problem for me is that I don't live in the UK, no bookstores in the USA can order the Hovercraft one for me.

Please provide a link, I cannot find that price.

[Guillermo]

Quite expensive and not focused on the matter, so probably a lot of no interesting (for my purposes) info.
Anyway thanks a lot, Joe Petrich.

This is a first approach

I have found this downloadable book:

Let's fix another limit: LOA needs not to be bigger than than 40 m. So boats in the 30-40 m range are OK.

Cheers.
