Hey!

I hope this is the right place to post this topic, all these new places as such!

Anyway, last night at a charity benefit in LA, Sea Shepherd revealed their new ship which will go down to Antarctica with the Bob Barker & Steve Irwin.
It is a 115ft monohull trimaran formally called the Ocean Adventurer.
It managed a world record circumnavigation of the world at 74 days 20 hours and 58 minutes.

"The vessel can sleep 14 and has all amenities to make it comfortable; Airconditioning, watermaker, fridge/freezer, TV/DVD, full equipped galley, 2x toilets/showers etc.

On the around the world run the chart table area was set up as a complete video/editing station. All electrical connections/cabling are still in place for any production needs. The vessel runs with 24 hour 220volt supply.

The vessel has been used as a successful fishing/diving platform. The aft deck has enough space/pulleys etc. to make it adaptable for a variety of applications. The vessel has a 8 man tender with 40hp outboard.

Due to the vessels unique design it is a fast, very stable exploration vessel, allowing you to travel vast areas in comfort. The wave piercing design ensures a smoother ride through rougher weather."

To be honest, the skipper of the Ady Gil was a bit of a tornado-head..

I think the whole Ady Gil thing was a scam, without getting into that I like the new vessel much more! What speeds does she run at?

cptnchris · « **Reply #11 on:** November 01, 2010, 04:18:16 »

Yeah Ady-Gil, eh whatever

Cool new ship I must say, But what are they ever going to use it for

Kinda seems like a big advertisement perhaps. Only thing I can think of is to use it to scout out the Whaling Fleet... Gah! My mind is going off topic about whaling now haha

Well congragulations Sea Shephard. Treat her well..

Matthew Brown · « **Reply #12 on:** November 01, 2010, 13:52:17 »

Unfortunately... The Steve Irwin will be leaving it's helicopter the Hughes 300 behind in Los Angeles for a major over haul.
This is it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc7KLmN8Gr4

But...

They now have a brand new helicopter! A Hughes 500

This one is radical!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-08j6aTGB2w

So Operation No Compromise in the Antarctic, will consist of the following:
Ships:
Steve Irwin
Bob Barker
Godzilla
Helicopters:
Hughes 500

You posted the same youtube link twice, mate.. I reckon that second one was meant to be the new one?

Btw, a hughes 500 isn't all that radical really. But it makes a really nice update from their old one for sure.

Matthew Brown · « **Reply #14 on:** November 01, 2010, 16:41:54 »

Whoops! Thanks

And yes when I mean radical.
It isn't a little fly with a weird tail

It's more like a helicopter

And if I'm not mistaken... It is the same type as the one in SSE!
That is a MD500 and was developed from the Hughes 500!

cptnchris · « **Reply #15 on:** November 01, 2010, 22:52:47 »

"It isn't a little fly with a weird tail"
That is a good description indeed

Sea Shepherd must be getting alot of $$$ from the TV show

Hehe, no problem!

Yeah, I always like the 500.. good looking machine. I like the older ones a bit better, before they got the somewhat more pointy nose.

Well, when you look at it from another point of view.
Greenpeace are also spending out on a brand new 23 Million Dollar ship

They must be the ones getting serious $$$

lol!
