I am a great believer in the Sea Sled shape for carrying loads on the plane but the shape does swallow considerable amounts of air under the hull which is death to the functioning of waterjets. A central pod was added to get over the problem and the lines were also modified to allow efficient low speed running when off the plane. The objectives were achieved and the craft handled well. I believe the Sea Sled is a better shape than the more familiar catamaran for giving a stable platform and carrying loads on the plane. Cats are fine when relatively light but draught increases rapidly with load and drag increases \u2013 particularly if the bridge deck hits the water.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boat Type:\u00a0Sea Sled Dive Tender Owner:\u00a0Kuwait Navy Date:\u00a02004 Length:\u00a042.0&#8242; (12.8m) Power:\u00a02 x 315hp diesel Builder:\u00a0Mustang Marine (Wales) Ltd Comments:This relatively large workboat was required to function with small engines but, nevertheless, carry a good payload.
