In May 2012, it became the first solar electric vehicle ever to circumnavigate the globe taking 584 days between 2010 and 2012.

Ultimate Lady

[edit]

Ultimate Lady was launched in 1998 and was designed to be used for long distance fishing trips and as a charter boat.[23] It was one of the first wave-piercing catamarans designed to be used as a private motor yacht.[24][25] A wave-piercing catamaran is a hull form that means that the two outer hulls go through waves instead of over them which means that the boat is more stable and can go faster in rough water.[26] The boat has received the International Super Yacht Society Award in the 23–32 m category. Also, the boat has received awards in fishing competitions.[27][28] Ultimate Lady is available as a charter boat to hire.[29][30] Ultimate Lady is 26.7 metres long and has a beam of 10 metres,[31] and can reach a maximum speed of 30 knots and has a cruise speed of 25 knots.[32] Ultimate Lady has a range of 3000 nautical miles.[33]

148m Moonset wave-piercing trimaran

[edit]

The Moonset wave-piercing trimaran is a concept boat and has not yet been built.[38] This 148-metre concept design has been based on the design of Earthrace, the round-the-world record holder for a power boat.[39] Moonset uses the hull form of Earthrace, and can still be used as a luxury yacht.[40] The boat does this by using a wave-piercing trimaran hull,[41] similar to that found on Earthrace (Ady Gil).[42]

A wave-piercing hull is when a boat pushes through a wave[43] instead of over it by slightly submerging the boat.[44] The design has a three level owner's suite,[45] a private owners lounge and enough rooms for 28 guests.[46] The boat can also potentially have art galleries, libraries,[47] conference spaces, private lounges, bar facilities, helicopter facilities and fold-out balconies.[48]

Aquavette

[edit]

Aquavette was launched in 2004 and was built by Calibre Boats.[49] It is an 11-metre-long (36 ft) catamaran[50] that has been designed as a pleasure boat with a focus on sport fishing.[51] This boat has two sleeping compartments and a 1m long fishing aft deck.[52] Aquavette has also been designed in a way that it can be transported on a trailer.[53] Aquavette has a top speed of 40 knots and a cruise speed of 25 knots.[54]

Black Pearl (DP-08)

[edit]

The motor yacht Black Pearl, also known as DP-08, was launched on 29 December 2010 in New Zealand and was built by Diverse Projects.[55][56] The boat has been designed as a long-range passage-making vessel that will be used for a world cruise that will start in the Mediterranean and will end in Australia.[57] DP-08 is powered by two Caterpillar C18 ACERT 600 horsepower (450 kW) engines[58] and has a trans-Atlantic range of 2,200 nautical miles (4,100 km). Due to the mono hull form, it is able to cruise at 13 knots (24 km/h).[59] Black Pearl will be fitted with zero speed stabilizers.[60]

DMS Interceptor

[edit]

The DMS Interceptor was built by DMS (Destination Marine Services) for the Royal Malaysian Customs. The design is a follow-up on work for both the Malaysian Police and the Royal Malaysian Customs.[61] Four of these boats have been built[62] for DMS in Johor in South Malaysia.[63] The series of 16.5-metre boats have a top speed of 65 knots and are used for the task of intercepting other boats as an enforcer of customs laws in the waters in and around Malaysia.[64]

Earthrace (Ady Gil)

[edit]

Earthrace, later renamed MY Ady Gil, was launched in 2006 and was built by Calibre boats.

Excalibre

[edit]

Excalibre was designed to suit the "typical New Zealand Outdoorsman".[65][66] The boat has been designed for sport fishing, bottom fishing, spear fishing, diving and swimming.[67] Excalibre is 11.6 metres long, has a top speed of 30 knots and a cruise speed of 24 knots.[68]

Patrol One

[edit]

Patrol One was built in Mauritius by Diogene Marine and was designed to be used as a private yacht in the Indian Ocean surrounding Mauritius.[72] It is a trimaran which means that the boat is stable in rough seas.[73] Patrol One is able to travel at speeds of up to 29 knots[74] across the 250 nautical mile stretch of water between the islands of Mauritius and Saint Brandon and back again without refuelling.[75]

Power Sail

[edit]

Power Sail is the name of a range of 15 and 20-metre long boats.[76] The boats can both motor and sail at 18 knots.[77] This is because the boat has a Z-drive system that means that the motor can retract horizontally and is covered by a door. When the boat is sailing, the motor is retracted to reduce drag.[78]

Rhythm

[edit]

Rhythm was launched in early 2003 and is used as a private fishing boat in New Zealand.[79] The boat was designed to look similar to some US lobster boats, but it uses modern hull technology[80] Rhythm is 13.5 metres long and has a top speed of 27 knots and a cruise speed of 20 knots.[81]

Spirit

[edit]

Spirit was launched in 1999 and was built by Friendship Yachts.[82] Spirit is a pleasure boat that uses wave-piercing technology which means that the boat is more stable and faster in rough seas.[83] The boat has three cabins, a Jacuzzi,[84] and a platform at the aft of the boat that can be lowered from a metre above the water line to 500 mm below the water line for swimming, fishing and retrieving tender boats.[85] Spirit is 24.6 metres long and has a top speed of 25 knots and cruises at 22 knots.[86]
