10.85M Dive/Fishing Catamaran

Our latest build the 10.85M Dive/fishing catamaran has taken longer than planned but is now ready for the launching trailer. We have used Nyalic clear coating to protect the alloy surface and anti-fouling will be applied the day before launching. We have high hopes for this vessel and the hull is the test-bed for future water taxis and ferries to be marketed in Australasia.

10.85 meter Aluminum Catamaran Progress

Weeks 10 and 11 our factory was closed for the holiday break and we started work again on 9th January 2017. The client has issued a very long list of additional work which will add considerable time to this project. However, progress is good and we are about 75% through the extra work list into Week 14.
