    Impressive................

    Your Earthrace toy would be destroyed in such heavy weather in zero time! (if it wasn´t already)

    He is Psychic, so yes, he does know more. And he's a warrior, so I would't want to piss him off...

    That marine example has many situational parameter irrelevant to what we are discussing.

    They would say the same about a monohull as well.

    The marine corp/navy specifically chose these for fast transport in any weather. That's an indisputable fact.

    Well Let's see..The Earthrace set the world record for circumnavigation. It submarines through waves, so ineffect, the wave height is simply not an obstacle.

    Your going to tell me a monohull can do that? How many stupid pills did you take today ?

    Yes. Want an example of a monohull that can submarine through waves? Look at a submarine. Count the hulls (hint: the answer is 1).

    "SWATH technology opens operational possibilities for smaller ships even in the roughest seas, while providing a first-class environment for passenger, cargo and crew. Within the family of various hull types, SWATH ships often are a favourite choice for many missions at sea. Especially for passengers and light payload."

    Ahh,

    now that the arguments fail, we get nasty.

    You are wrong Dude, no matter how loud you shout out your dumb drivel!

    Your SWATH comparison did not happen in severe weather, that is average seastate where I am living, except for 3 months in Summer. When it gets nasty here, the SWATH has to stay in port, but the AHTS of similar size stays outside and does the job.

    And different from your sort of information, WE KNOW what we are talking. Been there, done that, and got the T-shirt.

    Before you risk the next dumb statement, I am almost at home at A&R Lemwerder, the birthplace of most SWATH`S, and I doubt you have ever seen one.

    Stay with your bias and be happy. But don´t make false statements about our industry you obviously have zero clue about!


    Bye bye

    There was no sarcasm in my post. Submarines are the best at going through waves, and they are monohulls. And I don't think you want to stand on deck of any boat going through a wave.

    Apex - you know so much.. yet know so little..

    THe US Navy and many reputable ship mfrs are using SWATH technology for good reasons.

    Get your head out of the sand and your mouth out of the gutter and wake up to the 21st century please.

    I have spent my life around boats and ocean swimming... maybe you should think before you talk or at least stop drinking first.

    Idiot.

    I was involved in SWATH design ages before you could walk upright, and do boatbuilding over three decades on the highest quality level. Crossed the oceans and circumnavigated more often than you might have sailed, in fact I am on the water almost daily since 40 years. And on nearly every type of floatsam, boat or ship.

    Yes the US Navy finally has also found the values of a SWATH, after almost all the rest of the world has.
    And SWATHS have some serious merit in light to medium seastates. In harsh conditions, like the North Sea in winter, they are not as capable as a monohull, and that is valid for ALL multi´s.

    You contradict NA´s Builders, and knowledgeable sailors, but still believe your drivel has any value?

    Just remember your clumsy statement that there are no such craft built. That is wrong. Fact is, you don´t know about them.

    Go, play with your idea of a bullet proof multihull go anywhere craft you never will afford, premature dreamer.

    Hmmm.. I have stated what I will, showed videos, facts and and numerous evidence.. against your caustic remarks and dubious opinion.

    Seems you Apex are begging for recognition and a sense of importance. After all your years, you still haven't got that ?

    ... and you now chose a net forum to try to get it?

    Yes it seems you are indeed spending too much time at sea. Try solid ground for a change.
