New England Boatworks Ultra Light Displacement Trawler

ACHARNE is an ultra light displacement trawler completed and engineered by Ocean Voyager, builders of rugged offshore expedition yachts.  

Her hull was built by New England Boatworks to a Bill Langen design.  Constructed in carbon, epoxy and Nomex core.

• LIGHT : Fine entry and long waterline 80 feet/ 20 tons fully loaded 

• EASY :operated only by two people without any crew; low maintenance on very simple mechanical systems with a practical light weight interior. 

• SPEED : 2.6 g/per/hour 9 knot up wind cruising speed, 2.2 g/per/hour 12 knot or more downwind cruising speed. The lowest carbon foot print and fuel consumption possible for a fast ocean going powerboat capable of long passages. 

• SPACE : An immense back deck, a trademark of Ocean Voyager with comfortable outside accommodation, water access for diving, easy dinghy retrieval and storage on deck, deck stowage for a good size tender and one motorcycle plus easy access to the dive compressor and dive gear. 

• GREEN : very large solar panel arrays, Ocean voyager has achieved a zero diesel charging electrical system at anchor with limited daylight air conditioning operated by solar. A new milestone.  

• STABILITY : This was achieved with low displacement, inherent stability from low deck and cabin weight plus inside and outside ballast. Hydraulic fin stabilizers for comfort, not for safety.
