**NEWS UPDATE (22nd March 2012)**
Congratulations to Tony Bradley on the launch of his second S.P.E.E.D. Eleven Catamaran. To be named 'TRITON 2', this new vessel will join Tony's original Catamaran 'TRITON', performing range safety and Drone recovery work on MOD ranges around the country.
Triton 2 has a smaller forward Island wheelhouse than our popular Charter spec' vessels, but there is still ample room for a small galley and seating for 3-4 plus the helm.
Outside there is a Heads compartment recessed into the back of the wheelhouse but otherwise the deck is totally free and clear, measuring 6m by 4.2m at it's largest point.
At the stern, there is a large removable Transom section which will be left on the quayside during Range duties to facilitate the recovery of the Drones onto the aft deck using a deck mounted crane. When Triton 2 carries fare paying passengers, the Transom can be reinstated meaning that she can be fully coded by the MCA.
Propulsion is again provided by twin 200Hp Nanni common rail units driving four bladed Hyperform propellers through 2.45:1 Tuff Torq gearboxes and Clements stern gear. This package will give sprint speeds of 23Kn and cruising of 17-18Kn.
Since her launch earlier than expected on the 21st, we have been running our usual checks prior to the first Sea trial on Friday 23rd. After this, Tony will be with us next week for his official Sea trial period before vessel hand over.
Triton 2 will be going straight to work after her deck crane has been fitted, and we wish Tony every success with his new vessel.
In build currently, we also have Dave Harrison’s new Cat' to be named 'Gemini'.
Dave, who operates from Dartmouth has sold his original bright orange Cat and after doing a huge amount of research and number crunching decided to plump for a S.P.E.E.D. Eleven, the final decision for which was motivated mainly by our exceptional fuel efficiency.
Dave will be having a vessel broadly similar to Andy Cumming's 'Silver Spray 2', launched by us last November, but with a slightly different wheelhouse layout, where there will be separate crew and skipper areas with an interconnecting door.
The deck for Dave's Cat' is currently well underway, and we anticipate release from the mould in the next few weeks. ———- As ever you can keep up to date by visiting this website, but for those of you who require more up- to- the- minute photos and information we now have a Facebook site, which is updated at least once a day. ———- As reported in the December news update, we have a further two builds—numbers 9 & 10 of the S.P.E.E.D. series, ensuring the future of the company through until 2013. The first of these will be for Glen Cairns who will be the first skipper to take delivery of one of our kit boats. This vessel when completed will replace his existing catamaran Valkyrie, running as a charter angling vessel from Langstone Harbour.
The second will be a full build vessel for Lyle Stantiford of Weymouth. Lyle, having been mightily impressed with a sea trial aboard Dave Gibson’s ‘Meerkat’ through the Portland Race, wasted no time in visiting us during the build of Andy Cumming’ boat Silver Spray 2 and immediately placed an order. His new boat will replace his existing 8m catamaran ‘Supernova’, which Lyle has built into a successful business.
If you need more information, or pricing for a particular vessel project, do not hesitate to call either Ben or myself via the numbers on this site, or drop us an email.
