REMARKS

After building four successful world cruising expedition yachts, Ocean

Voyager is pleased to offer its latest expedition vessel:

ULDT (Ultra light displacement trawler) “Acharne”.

http://oceanvoyager.net/

The vessel was inspired by Ocean voyager trademark: reliability, safety, simplicity and design innovation.

The conversion hull was carefully chosen for its superb workmanship and its weight displacement. The hull was built flawlessly by New England Boat Works to a Bill Langen design. Constructed in all carbon and epoxy and nomex core, vacuumed and baked to exacting specifications. The hull was chosen for its performance upwind, strength, long waterline and seaworthiness.

In converting the vessel we wanted to achieve the following :

1. fine entry and long waterline. To do this the vessel must be light, and Acharne, at 20 ton fully loaded compares to the weight of some 40' sailboats.

2. operated ONLY by two people without any crew; requiring low, low maintenance on very simple mechanical systems which are easily accessible and a simple, and with a practical light weight interior.

3. lowest carbon foot print and fuel consumption possible for an ocean going powerboat capable of long passages.

4. An immense back deck, a trademark in all our conversions, 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 and easy access to the dive compressor and dive gear. When all the toys are unloaded 15 to 20 people can have a comfortable party on the back deck.

5. Green. We always install 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.

6. Stability. A vessel which can sustain heavy weather with minimum challenge. This was achieved with low displacement, inherent stability from low deck and cabin weight plus inside and outside ballast. We did not want to build high superstructures which would need additional stabilization. Keeping the boat light and low profile was our priority. We installed hydraulic fin stabilizers for comfort, not for safety.

7. Speed. We wanted to go against the weather comfortably at 9 to 10 knots and go downwind at 12 knots or more. Ocean voyager has achieved this. “Acharne” surfs beautifully downwind with little of no yawing or pitching common to shorter waterline trawlers without the help of stabilizers in operational mode. We turn off the stabilizers downwind and gain ½ knot. The boat is perfectly balanced. We have averaged 10kts at 1500RPM,or 2.7gal/hrupwindand11.5/12ktsdownwindwith2.2gallon per hour. The light displacement with incredible strength has achieved this performance.

Example: Fort Myers Florida to Luperon, Dominican Republic/950 miles/ 94 hours, averaging 10.2kts against the notorious Caribbean trade winds, 15 to

20 knots along the whole northern coast of Cuba and Dominican Republic.

8. The design is a personal boat, arranged for an experienced couple and occasional guests. She has 2 queen bed staterooms with 2 heads and one small possible child or crew berth forward accessed by a hatch with a folding berth. The interior is elegant, modern, lightweight and functional.

Acharne is another successful 21st century Ocean Voyager achievement. In converting the vessel we have perfected our search for the “perfect” cruising boat. She is easily handled at sea and at the dock by 2 people. She has a minimal carbon foot print, she is great to live aboard, light, airy and lots of ventilation, easy to maintain.
