Thanks for all the comments. First, I should reiterate that this is a purpose built design for the CEO and senior management of the largest civil...
I would drop the submersible concept. A sub has to weigh as much as the water it displaces to be neutrally buoyant. Your craft would be too heavy...
The preliminary design and bid package for this now 95' passagemaker has been completed. Basic specs are: LOA 28.95m LWL 28.95m BWL 4.5m Bmax...
A bit thicker glass is hardly rocket-science. One need look no further than the Dashew FPB series to see this in use.
We'll soon begin construction on a full ocean depth submersible capable of diving to 36,000 feet, the deepest spot in the ocean where the...
Hello Mark, Thanks for your thoughts. If you PM me I can send you more info on the 20m cats we are building and how we dealt with the LARS...
kc, I've sailed on some big cats. I'm not a fan of the motion, the wave slapping on the bridgedeck and the great stability they have when up-side...
Here's a profile image of the Triton 90: [IMG] 90 feet LOA, 89.5 feet LWL, and only 75 tons. Paul Bury has done an incredible job in the first...
Building a boat based on its cost to berth does not seem very sensible. Buy a waterfront condo instead. Long thin boats rule when it comes to...
kc, Every boat is a compromise. I'm of the opinion that the perfect boat drinks 6, feeds 4 and sleeps 2 ;-) Performance and seagoing comfort are...
We are designing and building a 90' passagemaker and are looking for marine gear setups for twin engine, single screw with a CP propeller. Finnoy...
We build luxury submarines at U.S. Submarines, Inc and have been doing so for 18 years. Several years ago, without contacting us, Tom Clancy...
Tad, that's a very good point. But I think that if people had the opportunity to compare the direct experience going to sea in the two very...
Most of today's contemporary production passagemakers like Nordhavns and Krogens are not very comfortable nor efficient sea boats. The short, fat,...
The aluminum cat tenders for Triton are here: http://tritonsubs.com/support.html They are 20 meters in length and have a stern platform between...
It looks like we've found a naval architect for the project after weeks of interviews and discussions. He was formerly at Wally Yachts and at...
Fair enough. The FPD would be a better yardstick, perhaps, with good data for the 83 and the 64. And, no doubt there are some other examples but...
It looks Dutch to me and with a steadying sail as opposed to a motor-sailing rig.
N.A. for 85' Passagemaker Thanks for the responses. While I don't doubt that there would be significant advantages to an Al vessel, we feel more...
I'm interviewing experienced naval architects to create a design for a long (81'LWL), thin (<17'), 85' passagemaker with a steel hull, aluminum...
