Aluminum Strength

With the up front caveat that there is no one “best” material to use when building a boat as they all have their own lists of pros and cons, when you set about building a boat to take on the extremes that Mother Nature can throw at you when crossing the world’s oceans “short handed” with just 1 or 2 people and doing so with the highest safety and comfort, the choice becomes more clear. As with many other choices when designing and building such a boat, this is an extremely personal decision and what counts the most is that YOU have the highest possible confidence in your choice and can set to sea knowing that your boat will be able to endure much more than you.

The reasons of choosing aluminium as your hull material

xpm-series-content-img-1

Fuel Efficiency

Fuel efficiency has become one of the most important subject for boat owners and sailors not only because of high expenses but also they pay attention to the environment and nature. Naval Yachts sees these facts and concentrates in new Technologies and engineered studies together with the technical universities and institutions to find and offer solutions.

We use aluminum. A superior material. Light and 100% recyclable. ( Aluminium Yachts )

We have hybrid solutions in powertrain. We have serial hybrid boats launched already with the latest technology.

We use light materials in interior. We make our calculations to reach a light but stable boat in the end.

We design and use the most efficient hull forms in order to get best results with minimum water resistance under the waterline.

Earth is a great planet to discover and experience on a boat. As long as you can. As the sailors would like to discover and see more places, they need enough speed, consume less and bigger fuel tanks.

Our boats can give the chance the sailors to cruise faster and longer without refueling.

The reasons of choosing aluminium as your hull material;

  • Extremely easy to work with using regularly available tools such as carbide tipped saws and router bits and to fabricate with readily available welding and bending equipment.  CNC cutting with plasma, waterjet or laser works particularly well with aluminium which allows custom designs to be as affordably built as production boats with the dramatic savings in labour time and costs.
  • On a like to like boat comparison aluminum boat hulls weigh about 30% less than steel and less weight means a more easily powered hull which pays us back in reduced fuel costs for the life of the boat.
  • Our previous all steel sailboat taught us the valuable lesson that robustly built metal boats do not flex or move under the stress and strain of the seas and everything and everyone onboard benefits from boat parts that stay water tight because they don’t move and from the quiet of cabinetry that isn’t being flexed.
  • eXtremely low exterior maintenance time and costs when left unpainted down to the waterline as we will do.  Left unpainted, bare aluminium quickly forms a hard outer layer of aluminium oxide which prevents any corrosion which will be a major cost savings throughout the life of the boat.
  • Highest strength to weight ratio of any boat building material other than composites.
  • Future modifications or repairs of damaged parts of the hull can be easily done with either onboard equipment if you know how to weld or by pretty much any welders you will find in any country.
  • While steel may have higher puncture resistance in some situations, aluminium is the most pliable and ductile of any other boat material meaning that when (never if) we hit something the aluminium will bend but not break or crack.  By using gradually thicker aluminium hull plating from the 6mm we have on our decks to ultimately 16mm below the waterline and 25mm thick at the keel our hull will most likely see us through pretty much any scenario.
  • Relatively easy to control corrosion or rot compared to steel, wood, fiberglass or composites.
  • Aluminium is very “transparent” in terms of letting  you see any damage that does exist as there is nothing which hides below the surface of unpainted aluminium.
  • It varies somewhat between different world markets but aluminium boats tend to have a higher resale value than other materials because of all the advantages above.

U.S. Navy’s New 40-Foot Defiant Patrol Boat

Naval news reached out to the u.s. navy’s naval sea systems command (navsea) to learn more about any possible replacement to the mark vi patrol boats that are slated for divestment and early retirement due to the mark vis’ very expensive maintenance costs. navsea has replied to naval news, showcasing their new 40-foot patrol boat, commonly named 40pb, that is not a replacement for the mark vi. despite that, the 40pb is indeed new and one of the latest small boats to join the u.s. navy’s fleet..

Peter Ong 26 Jun 2022

The early divestment of the Mark VI Patrol Boats was covered here.

Naval News has received a reply from NAVSEA in mid-May 2022 regarding possible small boat additions and replacements.  NAVSEA focused specifically on a welded all-aluminum 40-foot Defiant -class Patrol Boat , called the PB(X).

“Metal Shark’s 40 [foot] Defiant is a revolutionary new monohull patrol boat platform designed to meet the military needs of tomorrow in a quickly changing world. Developed as the replacement for up to 160 patrol vessels deployed worldwide with the U.S. Navy’s Expeditionary Combat Command’s Coastal Riverine Forces, Metal Shark’s design was selected by the US Navy from a field of seven competing shipbuilders. Designed to address the vulnerabilities of traditional patrol boats while expanding the mission role of the platform over its predecessor, the 40 Defiant delivers substantial increases in capabilities and firepower. “As configured for the US Navy, the vessel features six MK 16 weapons foundations plus a large forward foundation for stabilized, remote operated, optically guided MK 49 / MK 50 weapons systems. “The 40 Defiant employs a mission-optimized hull form designed to achieve 40-knot sprint speeds while displaying superb dynamic stability across the full range of operating environments. The vessel also exhibits enhanced handling and delivers greatly reduced operating cost at the 10-15 knot escort speeds typical of force protection missions. As configured for the Navy, the 40 Defiant is powered by twin Cummins QSB 6.7 diesel inboards, coupled via Twin Disc MG5065SC marine transmissions to Hamilton HTX30 water jets developed specifically for the Navy 40 PB program.” Metal Shark

Jamie Kohler, NAVSEA’s Office of Communication, responded to Naval News .

Naval News: Since 2017, have any new 40-foot Patrol Boats been delivered to the U.S. Navy, and if so, how many as of 2022?

NAVSEA: A total of 56 [40-foot Patrol] boats have been awarded to Metal Shark Boats and as of 9 May 2022, 20 boats have been delivered to the U.S. Navy.

Naval News: What is the name of the PB(X)…Defiant….or Mark ##?

NAVSEA: The craft is commonly referred to as the 40-foot Patrol Boat (40PB).

Naval News: Any comments at the slower speed of 35+ knots versus 45 knots for the Mark VI?

NAVSEA: The Navy does not comment on specific speeds of our platforms. Naval News: Will the 40-foot Defiant replace any of the Mark VIs, and if so, why the shorter boat and lack of Mark 38s 25mm autocannons?  What will the standard armament be?

NAVSEA: The 40PBs are not a replacement for the 78PB [78-foot Patrol Boat] (Mark VI).  They are a replacement for the current 34-foot Patrol Boat (34PB). 40PBs will be armed with the same manned crew served weapons as 34PBs, specifically the M240B and M2 machine guns.

MK VI patrol boat

Naval News: What units will receive the PB(X)? NAVSEA: The 40PB will be assigned to Maritime Expeditionary Security Group 1 (MESG-1) in San Diego, CA, and MESG-2 in Little Creek, VA under the Naval Expeditionary Combat Command.

40-foot-patrol-boat-PBX

Naval News: Will the PB(X) operate in open seas, CONUS ports and bases, littorals, forward-deployed, Persian Gulf, or ride in the well deck of LPDs?

NAVSEA: The 40PB will operate at-sea, in harbors, rivers, and bays. 40PB will also operate across the littorals while conducting maritime expeditionary security operations across all phases of military operations by defending high value units, critical maritime infrastructure, ports, and harbors both inland and on coastal waters.

The 85-foot Defiant Near Port Coast Vessel

Naval News was also tipped off on a larger 85-foot Near Port Coastal Vessel (NCPV) Defiant boat as a new acquisition and asked NAVSEA to clarify.

Metal-Shark-Near-Coastal-Patrol-Vessel-NCPV-85-Defiant-Damen-Stan-Patrol-2606

Naval News: Have any Near Port Coastal Vessel (NCPV) been delivered yet to the U.S. Navy, and if so, how many as of 2022? NAVSEA: No.  NCPV has an active production contract for Foreign Military Sales, but not for the U.S. Navy.

Naval News: What is the name of the Near Port Coastal Vehicle?

NAVSEA: The Navy refers to this program as “Near Coastal Patrol Vessel (NCPV).”  Metal Shark Boats refers to it as 85’ Defiant on their website, but the US Navy does not use this nomenclature.

The NCPV (which is based on a Dutch shipbuilder Damen Stan Patrol 260 design) does not replace the Mark VI Patrol Boats as it will not be in the United States Navy’s inventory.

naval-yachts-lxt88-concept

Naval Yachts reveals supercar-inspired LXT88 concept

Turkish shipbuilder Naval Yachts has unveiled a 27 metre supercar-inspired concept that will be able to reach top speeds of 42 knots thanks to twin MTU 1600 V12 engines.

Blending high-performance cruising with a bold look, the LXT88 was designed by Naval Yachts’ in-house design team to meet the requests of an existing Naval Yachts client.

One of the most distinctive features of the superyacht is a forward Jacuzzi where guests can cool off and soak up the views on board. “It makes a great chill-out spot,” said Barış Dinc, co-owner of Naval Yachts. “It’s great to have a pool, even a small one, on board a yacht of this length.”

Meanwhile, the LXT88 offers accommodation in three cabins, with additional quarters for a crew of two. The yacht also offers a main saloon and dining area.

The client who provided the inspiration for this yacht is an avid supercar fan and the LXT88 borrows plenty of design cues from the world of luxury cars. Carbon patterns define the side of the hull, with sleek black grills on the stern and a low, predatory superstructure.

The concept would be built in aluminium to ensure lightweight construction and faster speeds. Aerodynamic engineering has also been carefully integrated into the design to ensure the yacht maintains her performance while underway.

“With our innovative design and models that keep up with the modern world, we continue to ensure that our customers can reach the horizons they dream of in the most comfortable and safe way,” the yard said in a statement.

The unveiling of the concept comes shortly after the news that the yard is working on the rebuild of a Gulf Craft yacht under the project name Cavalli .
