Speed: 30Kn
30 knots?! :o I doubt it! That would be the fastest ferry in the world of that type! :D

Nice first try! ;)
-
Thanks. As for the speed, yes. Thats true. it can go up to 30 knots without difficulty. One reason is because its got 2 engines just like the red jet 4's
Also the ferry is not BIG. A little smaller then the red eagle.

Hi Captain Titanic :)
I looks rather old and the hull shape doesn't look like a hull built for going 30 knots. I would certainly like to see that before I believe it. ;) Nice model though :)

Capt Groennegaard,
Did you not realise it's a hydrafoil and once it gets to 8 kts, it lifts out the water... its quite modern and only retro-styled. :D

Thats right Stu!
-
As I said, I would like to see that before I believe it... :D
-
May be your right. I was egsatureateing. But thats what I heard! Fine. I'll simply make it 20Kn. But those ferries are extreamly fast! Iv been on loads
-
Found one of almost same model, but not riveted, somewhat faster 32 kts

That is interesting. It looks like the same. But thst little fishing boat is 2 times smaller then the Akartuna.

Hi Luc... Unless I'm looking at different photos, the two are nothing alike.
That one in your picture is part of a fleet identical in design. There are 2 for sale. I'll see if I can find the site.

Hi Stu.
Yes. I think you are right. Those two boats in the picture are yatch's And as you said, look like they are for sale. A real picture of the Akartuna is at the top of this page.
Thanks
-
I think Lucs picture actually is a hydrafoil... I was looking at a picture of one out of water that was for sale.
Archaic, mid 70s (Russian I believe)
-
Hi stu.
It looked more like a large yatch to me. Imight even design it!!!
Haha! Thanks for the Idea Luc aand Stu!

no, its not a yacht. it's most certainly a coastal/ estuary type fast passenger craft.
The pictures of the wheelhouse are really old. It looks like something from history!
-
Hi Stu
You might be right. I shall model it some time. Anyway do you like being called "Stu" or "Stuart"
-
Good luck! It is a quite complex hull, with various geometry at differing points along the hull.
I wonder if SS actually supports (or CAN) hydrafoil... I bet it can as the speed boat rises out of the water when at speed, so presumably a hydrafoil can be modelled on the same principle.
Call me stu, stuart, whatever you like (as long as it doesn't involve swearing ;) )
Stu

Hi.
I think you are right Stu. That thing doesnt look a bit like a yatch. Anyway it is a small ferry...
