b"VESSEL:SwiftsureBUILDER:All American Marine TYPE:Sightseeing / excursionAll American Marine (AAM), a PVA member, delivered the Swiftsure,aU.S.CoastGuardSubchapterT-certifiedhigh-speed catamaran, to an operator of whale-watching vessels in Washington state. The semi-displacement catamaran hull design integrates a sym-metrical and asymmetrical combined hull shape, bow wave pierc-er, and dynamic hydrofoil system. This allows the boat to achieve top speeds of 40+ knots and enables the vessel to travel through both calm and rough water at full cruising speed, while keeping underwater noise to a minimum and ensures a smooth ride. The 77', 150-passenger vessel was designed for low fuel con-sumption and utilizes four Hamilton Jet HJ364 water jets, com-plete with the Hamilton Jet control system. The vessel is pow-ered by four Scania Di 16 082M engines with a rating of 800 mhp @ 2300 RPMs. Soundproofing details in the engine room ensure a quiet passenger cabin. The interior is finished with re-cyclable Ayres aluminum honeycomb wall panels and has ceil-ing tiles with acoustic insulation spanning the main cabin and the second deck interior cabin. The vessel has ADA-friendly ac-commodation spaces, comfortable Beurteaux seating, three re-strooms, and an extended galley with a full-service bar, as well as seven HDTVs and a sound system with speakers inside and out.
