Wave piercing trimaran design to reduce pitching and rolling creating a stable weapons platform and enabling higher average speeds.
Wave piercing trimaran design to reduce pitching and rolling creating a stable weapons platform and enabling higher average speeds.
Wave piercing trimaran design to reduce pitching and rolling creating a stable weapons platform and enabling higher average speeds in adverse sea states. At the time of launching, considered to be the most advanced vessel of its type. Stealth design characteristics minimise detection by reducing radar, infra-red, acoustic and magnetic signatures.

Stealth design characteristics minimise detection by reducing radar, infra-red, acoustic and magnetic signatures.
Hull Substrates
Carbon Fibre
Coating Selection
Coppercoat Commercial Multi-Season Antifoul Coating
Selection Criteria
Minimum drag surface.
Minimum weight per m2 coating. As a protective two-part epoxy coating, Coppercoat only was applied directly to the carbon fibre surface eliminating the weight and volume of primers, undercoats, tie coats and barrier coats that are required for traditional ablative coatings.
Non-porous to prevent water absorption and increase in coating weight component.
Hard and durable finish with high resistance to impact and abrasive damage.
Non-eroding to prevent coating depletion on foils, leading edges and areas subject to high turbulence.
Highly effective and long efficacy fouling prevention. Two-part epoxy long efficacy hull substrate protection. Minimal maintenance requirements.
Does not require replacement at frequent intervals.
