New Yorker 57
The
New Yorker 57 - Long-Range Power Catamaran
The first New Yorker 57 long-range power catamaran is currently under
construction for an American client. This new Malcolm Tennant design will
have its debut at the 2004 Annapolis Powerboat Show.
Features
Built of composite Airex foam and fiberglass, the power-cat will have
a 5280 nautical mile cruising range at 8 knots using 2.6 liters of fuel
per nautical mile [0.68 us gals per mile], 3190nm at 10 knots and 1980nm
at 15 knots. The vessel's maximum speed is 23 knots and cruising speed
is 15 knots. This type of performance would be impossible to achieve in
a monohulled vessel of similar dimensions.
The
New Yorker 57 - Interior Layout
The New Yorker 57 features Tennant Design's latest hull
form, which is currently being evaluated by the Canadian Coast Guard to
ascertain if it meets their seakeeping requirements. A 'softer' knuckle
and more upsweep to the knuckle at the bow are some of the changes that
have been made to improve the vessel's ocean going capabilities. The double
arch wing deck, sweeping up to gunwale level well back from the bow and
blending into an 'anti slam' nacelle up forward, is a now familiar feature
on all of Tennant's ocean capable designs.
