stitch
mat fibreglass product. The
hull is hand laid by a crew of three
women and one sprayer, and is completed in
less than two weeks.
STABILITY
Hull is well known for its stability in rough
Atlantic
seas.
MANOEUVERABILITY
The 'Cape Islander' hull is a highly
manoeuverable design.
SAFETY
Life rafts are mandatory and can be provided by
builder
or fisherman.
SPEED
With this hull, speed is dependant on the type of
engine
installed, and this is
usually decided upon by the buyer.
CUSTOM
DESIGNED AND FINISHED
We can build
hulls only or we can finish your hull to
your specifications, including widening hull, house design, interior
design,
color of hull and interior of boat, etc.
We work with you to design
your fishing boat to your specific needs in either
the inshore fishery
or lobster industry. It is also possible to widen or lengthen
your
hull somewhat to fit your needs.
Certain descriptions below may refer to boats with jet propulsion only.
Keel has been deepened but hull can also be made with a shallow keel.
EXCELLENT
MANOEUVERABILITY
Precise steering at any speed.
Hamilton "zero speed" steering - 360 degree
thrusting
for docking and holding station.
Reverse thrust "power braking" ability at speed.
HIGH
EFFICIENCY
Better propulsive and fuel efficiency (jet
propulsion)
that the best propeller systems at medium to high planing speeds.
LOW DRAG
Lack of underwater appendages significantly
reduces hull
drag.
8 - 12% less hull resistance is common.
TOTAL SAFETY
No exposed propeller allows complete safety
around people
in the water (with jets)
STABILITY
Hull is extremely stable in rough seas due to the
shape
of its widened hull.
LOW
MAINTENANCE
Elimination of protruding propulsion gear ( with
jet
propulsion) means no impact damage or snags.
Minimum downtime for repairs - increased profits.
Simple maintenance routines.
SMOOTH AND
QUIET
No hull vibration or torque effects gives maximum
comfort
levels.
Eliminates high speed cavitation.
Low underwater acoustic signature.
MAXIMUM
ENGINE LIFE
Jet unit impeller is finely matched to the engine.
Power requirements is independent of boat speed.
No possibility of engine overload under any
conditions.
SIMPLICITY
Single module replaces rudder, shift, propeller,
strut,
gland, bearing, etc.
No heavy and expensive gearbox required for many
installations.
A simple direct drive line from the engine to the jet coupling.
SPEED
With jet
propulsion (optional) it is possible to reach
speeds of 28 knots depending on the engine you choose.
