SWATH yachts – the peak of yachting technology
Building a super yacht is no child’s play as it is the fine interplay of design, styling as well as technology that ensures that you have a super comfy and luxurious sea faring vessel, which is also able to stand up to the wind, the waves and the swathes of surging water that the ocean presents.
It is here that the SWATH technology yachts come up trumping against the elements with its revolutionary design that is able to greatly enhance the stability and the buoyancy of this specially crafted yacht. If you look at a traditionally crafted yacht, you will see that the yacht is subject to the rolling motion of the turbulent waves and the sea. The A&R designed SWATH actually stand for ‘Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull’ which is a unique and path breaking new technology that seeks to provide matchless stability to these yachts such that these are able to take on the highest waves and choppiest seas with the supreme ease and super deftness.
The SWATH technology makes ample use of the scientific principle that the waves are the strongest at the surface of the water, where these are pushed about and created by the winds, whereas as you go lower into the water, the seas and waters become calm. This is why SWATH yachts are seen to be built on special platforms where there are a couple of struts connected to submarine torpedo-shaped hulls, where the exposure to the waves is effectively minimized. This leads to inimitable stability for the yacht as a whole. The yacht also comes fitted with advanced state of the art electronic systems to control the buoyancy.
The A&R shipyard is credited with innovating and pioneering the building of SWATH yachts. As of 2008, it had already built as many as 10 such yachts and with its proven track record of super stability and luxury yachts, it is clear that the company will continue in its forward march towards success.
