ABOUT US

We are WA-based boat builders. We boast a skilled team with over 100 years of experience in the marine industry.

Situated just south of Fremantle, our team builds boats specifically designed for the challenging conditions of the WA coastline. With our deep understanding of these waters, you can trust our boats will always deliver reliability and performance.

OUR DESIGNS

Our unique hull designs were created to provide each model with the longest waterline length possible to increase sea state performance without impacting the wetted surface area and increasing the hulls drag, efficiency, cruise speeds and top speeds. A stepped hull boat features a hull design that changes how the boat interacts with water flow. Unlike a regular boat, a stepped hull has notches or indentations from one side of the bottom to the other, forcing water flow to separate from the hull and reducing the contact surface.

OUR FLEET

Each of our vessels are made to be durable and customisable to suit your needs and lifestyle. Our vessels are the perfect mix of style and performance.

COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS

We engaged D3 Applied Tech to undertake computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques on our aluminium design to enhance performance. The results speak for themselves.

A comparison between the final hull and the initial design reveals a clear performance improvement in hull drag reduction, stability, fuel reduction, top speed, poor sea state performance and rideability.

WHAT IS CFD?

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is critical for researching propulsion upgrade projects. Combining propulsion system experience and product knowledge with CFD, to analyse the interaction between the propulsion system, hull fluid dynamics and flow. This has enormous potential for energy efficiency.

CFD FINDINGS

After 8 months of hull Design, CFD simulations and design alterations the findings were. 

  • Increased vessel stability at rest 

  • Increased vessel stability at high speeds 

  • Increased vessel stability in poor sea states 

  • Variable fuel reduction of 10% at low speeds to 40% at top speed.

  • Engine load reduction of 15% to 30%

  • Top speed increases of 15% +

  • Sea state performance relative to a 9.5m vessel (8m design)
