I was disappointed that there was no follow-up discourse to the fascinating
posting some months past regarding SWATH technology.
The attached video was somewhat encrypted , so many list members may have
missed it.
While the application seems tho have found a niche in commercial,
large-scale vessels, the benefits would seem to apply particularly to
private cruisers. The separation of machinery from the living quarters seems
ideal. Benefits in stability, comfort in a seaway, sound deadening,
vibration isolation, driveline angulation , and mass localization come to
mind.
Are there any other ideas or reactions from the membership? Any other links
to examples of this concept? Please pipe up.

For several years I've been curious about these small, sturdy power
cats built in Jacksonville, Florida by American Marine (unrelated to
the builders of Grand Banks). Last fall I bought one, ten years old,
and have been working through its deferred maintenance. So far I've
been satisfied with its performance. It gets around well on the flats,
is smooth and capable in a rough chop, and is economical to run.
Apparently these were built in 17.5 foot and 20 foot versions. If
anyone on the list has one, or knows anything about them and their now-
defunct builder, I'd like to hear about it.
