Excellent seakeeping behaviour & sustained speed in higher sea states
In the design process particular attention was paid to the bow and hull. The new distinctive, sleek bow and slender hull enables the vessel to sustain its speed and course in head seas, as well as helping to reduce fuel consumption. The bow design results in less acceleration and slamming has been reduced to a very low level, improving comfort and safety.
