| Ocean "Wave Piercing" - Prototype | ||
|
SPECIFICATIONS:
Experimental project, with a "wave-piercing" hull variation. The lines are invented and patented by Juan De Blanco, which allows to the boat rest on only 3 little points when planning and making air channels under the hull that reduce the water resistance and fuel consumption, increasing the speed and seawothiness. Forward sharp lines combined with stright exit lines allow flashing accelerations. Deep hull "V" allows great stability on waves, being an ideal boat for bad sea conditions. Self-raiting powerboat thanks to its negative buoyancy.
With this powerboat with a "wave-piercing" variation hull type, patented by De Blanco Naval Architecture & Yachts Design, it will try beat the record of cross the Atlantic Ocean in less time in a little size, fast and secure powerboat. Open the field to bigger future boats for fast ocean rescue. She will be efitted with a light turbine engine, which will be attached to a surface propeller or to an hydro-jet. She will use solid fuel and will be able to get speeds over 105 knots. This boat will "pierce the waves".
The boat will be built with advanced composites like "Kevlar" and Carbon fiber, combined with honeycom sandwich structure. Thanks to the internal buoyancy provided for high density foam the boat will be unsinkable too. |
