Project 116 Aerocruiser 38, Danish Yachts

 

JMD has been the instigator and the force behind the 38M Aerocruiser now being built by Danish Yachts in Skagen. It is an example of how new and modern building techniques can be incorporated into yachting producing a vessel with a speed over 50 knots powered simply by 2 diesel engines.

With a structural weight of around 25 tonnes (about 1/2 the weight of an aluminum or conventional polyester glass structure) and a lightweight interior very large gains in effeciency can be acheived. This vessel is expected to be finished by early 2011.

Using a lot of the attributes gained from the Aerocruiser 38 it was natural for us to develop this into the military side where these fuel savings and efficiencies need to be quantified. For example the fuel savings for a carbon fibre patrol boat compared to an aluminum boat at 30 knots is calculated at 20%. For a speed of 10 knots (a very common speed OPB's) the savings are a staggering 30%. These numbers were based on a 32M patrol boat.
