New Sea Shepherd ship revealed!
« on: October 24, 2010, 10:09:42 »

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?

Yeah Ady-Gil, eh whatever  :doh:
 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  :doh:

Well congragulations Sea Shephard. Treat her well..  :thumbs:

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  :2thumbs: ;D
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.  :P   :thumbs:

Whoops! Thanks  :)

And yes when I mean radical.
It isn't a little fly with a weird tail  :doh:
It's more like a helicopter  :thumbs:

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! :D

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.  :)
