Design 2699 120 Expedition Yacht

This expedition yacht was designed with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure. Between 2004-2007 we seemed to have a whole lot of clients asking for expedition style boats. This is just one example. We have proposals between 68-154 length overall with various deckhouse configurations.

Power was to be provided by twin Caterpillar 3412E - B rated engines producing 720 hp each for a top speed of 14 knots. The main engines were to be close coupled to mechanical, fully rotational Schottel "Z"-drive propulsion units.

Here are the plans.

Principal Dimensions
LOA 120-0"
LWL 110-5"
Beam 27-10"
Draft 8-3"
Displacement 687,680 lbs (1/2 load)

Design 2412 120 LOA Pilothouse Ketch

This set of preliminary drawings for a fairly typical motorsailer was done on speculation in 1981.  I like the simplicity of the profile.  The boat was designed to be built of steel.

Here is the general arrangement plan.  There are a few interesting features such as the navigation room in the wheelhouse.
