35 Knot Workboats Speed to Mauritius
01 May 2003
The craft are a new commercial derivative of the 9m Combat Support Boat proven in service with the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence and feature a raised aft wheelhouse with a ramped well deck.
The planing, asymmetrical catamaran hull form is manufactured from conventional GRP and features a high degree of reserve buoyancy to enable the craft to remain afloat when fully swamped.
The self-draining well deck has a manually operated bow ramp and is capable of carrying a short wheelbase Land Rover, general cargo or personnel with the modular straddle seating in place.
Power is provided by twin 200hp outboard motors to give a service speed in excess of 35 knots.
The outboards are protected and can be raised quickly to facilitate beach landings.
