Speed: 30Kn

30 knots?!

I doubt it! That would be the fastest ferry in the world of that type!

Nice first try!

Captain Titanic · « **Reply #8 on:** December 16, 2007, 14:42:40 »

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.

Thats right Stu!

Captain Titanic · « **Reply #13 on:** December 16, 2007, 15:33:49 »

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

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.

Stu

Captain Titanic · « **Reply #17 on:** December 16, 2007, 16:19:45 »

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

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 16, 2007, 16:37:28 »

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)

Captain Titanic · « **Reply #19 on:** December 16, 2007, 16:49:04 »

Hi stu.

It looked more like a large yatch to me. Imight even design it!!!

Haha! Thanks for the Idea Luc aand Stu!

"Laughs"

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 16, 2007, 17:11:48 »

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!

Captain Titanic · « **Reply #21 on:** December 16, 2007, 17:33:51 »

Hi Stu

You might be right. I shall model it some time. Anyway do you like being called "Stu" or "Stuart"

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 16, 2007, 21:12:33 »

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

Captain Titanic · « **Reply #23 on:** December 17, 2007, 10:05:38 »

Hi.

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

Captain Titanic · « **Reply #24 on:** December 17, 2007, 13:19:05 »

Spechial thanks to Luc for the icture.
