LOMOcean built a 1/10th scale boat
for initial testing and then modified it the designs based on the
results of testing.
Specs
Length: 11.77m
Width: 2.92m
she is long and sleek
Currently 95% fitted out with a couple of days work to implement
changes to suit the individual destined to row her. |
Wavepiercing Trimaran
self righting Ocean Row boat. Solo rowing position but could be run
as solo or multi Crew 2 or 3 man boat with two cabins.
Designed by the legends at LOMOcean - They are Designers of multi
work record setting multihulls. She is built entirely in carbon and
foam sandwich by the team at Pachoud Yachts. For six months I worked
full time as apprentice building her alongside this team with
backgrounds in the build of Americas cup and Volvo ocean race boats,
kingfisher, ecover and other round the world boats she is very
special boat and well thought out boat with only the best products
and materials in her. Her finish is of a very high quality. - Yes
I'm a bit fussy when it comes to planning and detail.
Before I set out down the design path I spent about 3 years
researching books, blogs doco's and talking to everyone involved in
the sport who let me fire questions at about their learnings and have
taken each issue people have had and designed solutions around
these. My brief was a boat suitable for a sprint row or an endurance
row across the Pacific. It needed to be
strong and safe, fast (consistent average not high top speed) and
light, couldn't be accused of being a blow boat.
Oh and I forgot, she had to be super sexy... :) |
Some special points to know:
- wave piercer - her wave piercing bow pushes through the first part
of the wave reducing pitch before she rides over it allowing
maintained momentum.
- Trimaran multi hull she is super stable with less roll allowing
oars more time in the water
- Long waterline length makes her fast and consistent
- Self righting. Designed with a shape that she just cannot
physically stay upside down. Being a multi hull she is so much more
stable but of She does fall over She pops back up.
- Balanced spade Rudder under hung for efficiency and reliability
with sacrificial bottom to allow breakaway if collision with
submerged object. It has a tapered bearing to allow rudder
replacement at sea of required.
- Forward dagger board to allow her to be held on course. In testing
I had to lift dagger board to allow her bow to be pushed across by
the wind. Dropping it enough to balance her to then hold desired
heading
- Sleeping in pipe cot down low between bearers to minimize roll,
movement and maximize rest
- Two cabins one rowing position. I was set up for solo voyage -
could choose forward to aft cabin for balance in different
conditions.
- Internal Oar storage within the forward cabin to keep spare oars
and main oars safe when not in use.
- All storage hatches only accessed from internally to reduce water
contamination risk. Using the hatch behind hatch theory
- Custom carbon fibre hatch panels in Cule offshore hatches.
- Carbon fibre table, hatch spanner hand grabs.
Rear view mirror and AIS for managing visability.
- Built in lift points to allow her to be easily and quickly lifted
into the water in various locations.
- Full alloy tandem braked trailer with tilt cradles tilt the boat
to narrow width up to be transported.
- There are tons of little ideas designed into the boat which would
make this intro pages long. Best PM me to discuss.

Includes:
Simrad electronics, NSS gps, ipod dock vhf, AIS weather vane and
AC12 autopilot computer and SD10 Autopilot motor for efficiency and
reliability.
BEP electrics, master switches, VSR, outlets and czone to allow both
digital and manual control off circuits as run in Volvo boats.
Too much to list, so get in touch. |
