The
Wildcat 53 / 16m catamaran is a completely new design, and ‘ISLAND
TIGER’ featured here is the first of two vessels being built for
Island Shipping, the hull design is a larger version of our highly
respected Wildcat 36/40 design, incorporating the same high buoyancy
bow, twin chine catamaran hull form that has proved so successful in
providing exceptional levels of sea keeping and performance. The
Wiildcat 53 Catamaran is 16m moulded
(17m LOA) with a 6.1m / 20ft beam
and has been designed from the outset specifically as a wind farm
support vessel. To this end the bow area has been designed to
accommodate a specially developed fender system from Ocean 3. The fender
design is of high density foam core 400m x 500mm with a heavy 50mm thick
rubber wall to cushion impacts and stresses in the bow. No stranger to
building exceptionally strong GRP hulls, the Wildcat 53 has the same
heavy duty scantlings as their renowned pilot boats which are often
subject to severe impacts in rough weather, this produces a vessel that
can withstand tough use in the harsh windfarm support vessel
environment. GRP provides many benefits, being a homogeneous structure
it is very strong, it gives a high standard of external finish with the
advantage of zero maintenance, it is easily repaired and perfectly
compliments Safehaven’s graceful design, resulting in a very striking
vessel. ‘
The superstructure
is a raised bridge deck design with the helm and navigators position
elevated to provide excellent visibility. The cabin is centrally
positioned in an ‘island configuration’ with a clear 750mm walkway
each side and around the bow where there is a cargo lifting space. This
provides a safe passageway and spacious work and boarding area at the
bow.
