Also available as a Heavy Duty Workboat. The design performs in similar manner to the
World Renowned Hickman Sea Sled. The inverted "V" hull is designed to trap
air and water under
the Hull, creating LIFT as the boat moves forward, it really does work.
The result is probably the most stable,
soft riding, safest boat. Because it can safely motor with
any,
one tube punctured. It is about 30% more efficient than most other
boats, and 5% more efficient than a
RIB.
The Gemini takes an O/B much smaller for the same performance as others. It can also take a higher
pitched propeller. The Gemini transom is on
top of the deck, leaving a clean, smooth hull skin at the
stern. Unlike most
other boats where the bottom of the transom forms a "step" at the
transition
between the soft hull skin and the hard transom,
creating DRAG. |
