A&R SWATH Silver Cloud

YachtNews · 04-04-2008, 01:00 PM

Since my editorial was closed off, I have decided to open a thread for general discussion on the A&R SWATH Silver Cloud. I hope that is okay by the administration.

If it is, then new pictures have been posted of the construction progress of this vessel. You can see them on the yacht's website at:

The photo of the starboard engine generator gives an idea of the scale of the vessel. Makes my back hurt just thinking about working on something in that space.

Hi,

Don't be fooled , there is plenty of room inside the hulls.

The CAT Plate you can see is the fwd end of the Main Engine Plate Cooler, The genset engine and alternator are between the photographer and the front of the main engine.

I would say the forward engine room picture was taken from the same position but facing the other way around.

If you go to the Construction History button on the website and scroll down to March 2007 you will see the engine and genset on the raft as it would be installed and you can see how much of it you don't see in the pic shown in the link above.

I seem to remember about 10/12 years ago that Mr.Hobie of Hobie-Cat fame had a Swath-boat built for him. In my Dad's old RINA magazines there were photos of twin twin hull/bows; as in two bulbs per side.

Does anyone else remember this?
