Hi Thorwald, Great site and great project! Absolutely love it. Haven't got the time to read it all now, but will certainly be back. Your...
... and a flexible coupling between main engine and gearbox I suppose. With some gearboxes you can have a PTO that exits on the top. Then it's...
Tildes, You can either have the gearboxes take up the thrust (flexible coupling between gearbox and M.E.) or you can have an independent thrust...
You may also want to have a look at the Marlow Explorer. They have delivered an 82 footer and an 86 footer is in the works....

Hi Yachtman, I hope you're not offended with me playing Sherlock ;) Speed comes at a cost, especially speeds over 50 knots. It takes a lot...

Hi Brunick! Nice work you've put in. I don't know if I like the army of 40 PWC though... A PWC eats up an incredible amount of space. (40 =...
Eric, I agree with you on the wavepiercer bow. However, volume above the waterline does not necessarily equal seakindliness. I recently made a...
Here's some more (shot 15 February 2007 in Rotterdam). Notice the contast with the appartement blocks. They do have a good view though......
