Danes launch SWATH range in carbon fibre
09 Feb 2012
Danish Yachts’ answer to SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) - truly a vessel that walks on water
Danish Yachts is to launch its new range of commercial vessels – SeaStrider, the first carbon fibre SWATH. The company will be at Seawork for the first time in 2012 (stand SR9).
Designed for high-speed passenger transport, SeaStrider breaks ground in terms of design technology and build. The first boat under construction is the SeaStrider SWATH for carrying service personnel and cargo to Offshore Wind Farms and for transit between the wind towers. Designed to an overall length of 25 metres, providing ample space for 24 passengers and 5 crew over a range of around 500 nautical miles, this pioneering vessel has been tank tested to significant wave heights, permitting operation in almost all weather conditions, while maintaining safety and comfort.
