BCVMY40 Design Progresses

Tad Roberts is progressing on the design of the Best Coastal Voyaging Motor Yacht Under 40ft.  This design is based on an open discussion with cruisers in a Truebuild Yachts hosted group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Truebuild_Yachts_Project_Discussions/

BCVMY40 – Time to Execute the Project

The group of cruisers discussing the Best Coastal Voyaging Motor Yacht Under 40 ft has agreed there are (at least) two versions of the BCVMY40.  One version has a planing hull capable of 17 knots top speed, the other a displacement hull that would cruise around 7 knots.

The planing hull version has developed the most ardent following to date and is entering the execution phase of costing, sourcing and builder qualification to verify that an exceptional yacht can be realized with radically better value for both the builder and the buyer.

Everyone is welcome in the group discussion.  Join the discussion at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Truebuild_Yachts_Project_Discussions/

The above sketch from yacht designer, Tad Roberts, depicts the general “rough” concept that has been embraced by the group.  Tad’s willingness to respond to ideas with well thought out images continues to propel the group.  http://www.tadroberts.ca/
