Engine and performance
To achieve its cruising speed of 35 knots, the catamaran is equipped with two powerful 350HP outboard engines. These engines deliver the necessary power for fast and efficient travel. With its fuel capacity of two 400-litre tanks, the catamaran offers a travel autonomy of approximately 270 kilometres, making it well-suited for short-route operations. The boat's performance is designed to meet the demands of quick passenger transport while maintaining reliability over extended use.
Construction and materials
The catamaran is designed with a displacement of 12.2 tons and an aluminium construction, which ensures both strength and durability while keeping the weight in check for optimal performance. Besides aluminium, other materials like HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) can be considered based on specific needs. Each material offers unique advantages—aluminium is lightweight yet durable, while HDPE is resistant to impact and corrosion. The choice of material will depend on factors such as cost, longevity, and the client's specific requirements.
Versatility and adaptations
This versatile catamaran can be adapted for various applications, such as serving as a police boat, ambulance, or even a leisure vessel. Each application can be customised with specific modifications, such as adding medical facilities for an ambulance, specialised equipment for a police boat, or additional amenities for recreational purposes. The flexibility of the design ensures that the boat can be tailored to meet a range of functional requirements.
