Contracted by an experienced owner seeking a large and, more important, a
stable yacht, North West Bay Ships of Tasmania is nearing completion of a
200-foot, 20-knot trimaran. She is the first in the yard’s e-motion
series.
Hydrodynamically, the yacht’s easily driven, slender center hull
offers increased efficiency and reduced bow slamming. Combined with large active
fore-and-aft ride control foils, the trimaran is expected to exhibit excellent
motion control under- way and at rest. For example, at 20 knots in a two-meter
quartering sea, the yacht will have 50 percent less vertical acceleration than a
monohull of similar length.
Styled by Sam Sorgiovanni, the trimaran
offers voluminous main and upper decks within its 50-foot beam, allowing the
owner and all guests to be accommodated on these premium levels. High overheads
and generously proportioned living and circulation areas contribute to the
yacht’s uniquely spacious (even by megayacht standards) ambiance.
Sea trials
will be conducted in Tasmania during January 2005.
