UPDATE: 6th Feb 2013
Lyle is currently on his way back to Weymouth in Supanova 2, his spanking new BWSeaCat S.P.E.E.D. Eleven power Catamaran. It is nice for us as a company that one of the youngest charter skippers in the country has chosen to invest his future in our design. With fuel costs rising, Lyle will be able to maintain a healthy business moving forward, without sacrificing any operational capability, by virtue of the efficiency of the S.P.E.E.D. hull design. We wish Lyle all the best for the future with his new vessel and forthcoming new addition to the family…
UPDATE 7th Feb
Having steamed Supanova 2 back to Weymouth on Wednesday, Lyle has now completed the first of his charters with the new vessel, with more to follow over the weekend. On his delivery voyage he experienced 35Kn winds on the nose. Keeping his nerve, Lyle never dropped below 17Kn even in the steep head seas this kind of wind can generate and described the performance of the boat as ‘awesome’. Initial feedback from his clients has been extremely positive and the rate of fuel burn (or rather lack of it) continues to put a grin on Lyle’s face and a scowl on the face of the fuel berth operator! We will pop down at some point shortly just to check everything over and tighten things down but in the meantime we will leave Lyle to enjoy the fruits of his labours…
