Great boat, Lars, and not only as a megayacht tender!
Can she be fitted with the Volvo IPS system ?? |
Thank you, and regarding the IPS, I talked to Volvo yesterday about the new 50-footer where I could think of having two or three IPS 850. But I was told they are not working well on a deep V-hull. We have 22° and they say max 15-16° V. Anyway, for the D40 the normal DPH Aquamatic is better. It is faster, less draft, you can trim and you can tilt it up for prop replacements with the boat in-water. IPS also takes more space which can be better used in a 40´. In the 50-footer we may build a small tender garage above the drives if I can design a good enough hull with just 16° deadrise...
