Bulbous Bow Addition to 93 Aft House Inace Yachts Under Construction
![]() Bulbous Bow Installation |
![]() 93 Aft House Inace Yachts Under Construction |
I have recently returned from a visit to INACE YACHTS SHIPYARD to inspect the 93' aft house with her owners. Among the numerous things going on that I thought people would find of interest, is the fitting of the bulbous bow to the boat.
A few things to take note of, the hull structure was fully finished and the bulb is being fitted as a separate element. What this means is if the bulb should impact something and the watertight integrity be compromised it will not have any effect on the water tight integrity of the hull.
Click Image at Left for Larger I must caution that this has not been proven conclusively in tank testing but has been noted in real life application. The problem with real life application is it is subject to different interpretation. However, it does seem to indicate another area were the KISS principal of yacht construction may apply.
Over all progress on the 93 AHD is coming very well, she was inspected by a independent Surveyor for PATTON MARINE in addition to the ABS inspectors. The PATTON Surveyor was quite please not only with the 93 but with the over all quality of the all of the vessels under construction at the yard.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions of comments on the above. Contact me for more information to build your own Inace Yacht.
Warmest regards,
