TURBOCRAFT THUNDERCLAP Boat
TURBOCRAFT THUNDERCLAP Boat is a sophisticated luxury day boat and yacht tender that exemplifies innovative marine design through its harmonious blend of classic aesthetics and modern functionality. This 11.76-meter vessel, recognized with a Silver A' Design Award in the Yacht and Marine Vessels Design category, represents a significant achievement in contemporary nautical design, featuring a distinctive hull crafted from red cedar cold-molded wood and incorporating bio-sourced flax fibers in its deck and cabin construction for enhanced energy efficiency and noise insulation. The design draws inspiration from iconic 1930s automotive aesthetics, particularly the flowing lines reminiscent of classic vehicles, while incorporating modern elements such as a central fashion plate inspired by contemporary muscle cars. The vessel's technical specifications include a beam of 343cm, a draft of 60cm, and a light displacement of 6500 kg, powered by dual waterjet propulsion system utilizing two HJ274 waterjets coupled with twin Volvo D6 370hp engines, enabling a maximum speed of 40 knots and a cruising speed of 32 knots. The innovative counter stern design serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, providing an extended platform for swimming and boarding, while the wrap-around windscreen and recessed sun bed emphasize the vessel's commitment to passenger comfort and safety. The integration of waterjet propulsion technology offers superior maneuverability, reduced maintenance requirements, and improved fuel efficiency, continuing the legacy of innovation in marine propulsion systems. The vessel's deck layout is thoughtfully organized around a central furniture piece, creating an intuitive circulation pattern that maximizes the use of space while maintaining the elegant aesthetic that earned it recognition at the A' Design Award competition.
