30 Knots on Carbon

A lightweight carbon fibre / vinylester sandwich catamaran of just 224 GT — stiff, quiet and efficient at express-boat pace.

02

MTU × Servogear

Twin MTU 8V2000 M72 engines, 720 kW each, drive Servogear Ecoflow controllable-pitch propellers — strong acceleration and a 25-knot service speed.
