X-Bow Boat Design (pictures at the bottom)<\/strong><\/p>\n

For many years boat design has remained constant, most boat designers believe that changing the boat design would defy the laws of<\/p>\n

physics and the boat might not survive on water. The differences between the average boats include the bow of the boat (the front)\u00a0where there\u00a0is a \u201clump\u201d (picture to the side) right below the sea level, this cuts straight through the waves to enhance speed. The X-bow boat does not have this \u201clump\u201d and still manages to travel more efficiently and faster.<\/p>\n

The information below states the advantages of the new design.<\/p>\n

The unique and environmentally-friendly\u00a0X-BOW\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0hull line design offers significantly higher transit speed in adverse weather conditions, as well as enhanced fuel economics. The bow shape ensures soft entry into waves, thus reducing speed loss, pitch and heave\u00a0accelerations,\u00a0as well as eliminating slamming and vibration problems associated with conventional bow flare.<\/p>\n

X-BOW\u00ae\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>advantages:<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Higher transit speed in calm water due to low angles of entry and increased waterline length
\n– No bow flare, eliminating bow impact and slamming in foreship<\/div>\n

– Lower pitch and heave accelerations due to foreship volume distribution and slender hull water\u00a0line
\n– Reduced noice and vibration levels in foreship due to soft entry into waves
\n– Less spray\"\"<\/p>\n

– Negligible occurrences of green water on bridge deck
\n– Working deck and deck equipment better protected due to hull extended to full beam in\u00a0accommodation area<\/p>\n

– Higher transit speed in head and following sea, giving reduced power consumption and\/or\u00a0higher fuel efficiency in waves and still waterThe X-BOW\u00ae hull line design is patented in Norway (reg. no. 324744), Russia (reg. no. 2374120), Singapore (reg. no. 135279 (WO\/2006\/096066)), Ukraine (reg. no. 95070), USA (reg. no. 7,658,159) and Vietnam (reg. no. 8437). Patent is pending\u00a0in Brazil, China, Europe (EPA), Hong Kong and\u00a0India.<\/div>\n
