"Dampier and Exmouth Sea Rescue" - 9.3m and 40 Knots - 17/07/2007
Category: Air Rider® Hulls - MK 05081  This is one of a pair of Sea Rescue AIR RIDERS designed in late 2005. One operates for the Dampier Sea Rescue Group and the other for the Exmouth Sea Rescue group.
The first vessel powered by a pair of Suzuki 225's saw 38 knots, while the second vessel powered by a pair of 250 outboards saw just over 40 knots Even better than just straight out speed, is the fantastic ride, the dryness and the absolute safety in following seas.
This 9.3m hull is fast becoming the premier AIR RIDER with the Lord Howe charter vessel 'Greenback" using the same hull and a recent forward sports cabin version under construction for a commercial fishing operator in Esperance on our South coast.

"Greenback" - 9.3m Charter Fishing AIR RIDER Diesel - 17/07/2007
Category: Air Rider® Hulls - MK 06111  The stunning "Greenback", built by Westerberg Marine for the owners Dave and Glenys Gardiner of Lord Howe Island off the East Coast of Australia, has met all expectations and exceeded some.
Powered by a single Yanmar 6 cylinder 250 HP sterndive, we achieved a genuine 27 knots sprint with 9 dudes on board and full fuel.
Dave has called us several times amazed at the soft ride, the incredible dryness of the hull and the stability at rest .. apparently it attracts fish ... maybe they are just curious when they see the underwater shape.

30m Offshore Work Catamaran - 17/07/2007
Category: Work Boats - MK 07021  Our latest design, currently under construction at the Fine Entry Marine yard in Geraldton, Western Australia is sure to set the standards even higher.
This is the 6th Catamaran off our design board to be commissioned by Louie Kannikoski's BHAGWAN MARINE, fast becoming the leader in oil and gas support boats in Australia. By using our unique Deep Sea Offshore Catamaranm design, Bhagwan Marine is able to win contracts that monohulls simply can not perform.
Our catamarans outperform the monohulls in Speed, Load Carrying and Ride Comfort.
This new boat is powered by a pair of 16V2000M60R MTU engines, driving fixed pitch propellers for a continuous speed of 20 knots at 150 tonnes displacement.
Our next step is to convince the operators of the benefits of controllable pitch propellers (CPP) for this type of work vessel.

Category: Air Rider® Hulls - MK 06032  *** World First ***
Watch this site for the launch results. This brand new design for Richard Gilpin of Jersey in the UK, incorporates all the best parts of our excellent AIR RIDER hull shape, with those of the inflatable collared RIB vessel.
Powered by 4 x 300 HP Suzuki Outboards, with high speed gear casings and semi cleaver propellers, the engines are mounted on jacking plates allowing Richard to lift the engines to achieve the very best speed and trim.
But wait, there's still more ... It has a double berth below decks, 6 bolster seats in the cockpit, quad bike storage on the foredeck, kayaks on the roof.
Due for launch in August 2007 we will be at the Southampton boat show in September 14-16th so if you are a serious buyer contact us for a demo.
