Blyth 11m Workcat Catamaran - LAUNCHED! AND WHAT A RIDE!!

I have to say we have got it right on this one!

What a boat. With our Blyth styling and the modifications made to interior and engineering quality this boat should be a market leader. We have already sold 8 of these new 11m Blyth's for delivery over the next 7 months.

The change in hull design gives greater buoyancy into a head sea and with a lower cruising speed, but, get up into the higher rev band and hold on because she accelerates like a speed boat. 

Top speed on vessel shown at time of sea trial was 27.8 knots  with twin 370 hp, Iveco.  The next completed boat will have twin 425hp and we expect speeds over 31 knots.

But lower horse power should still give great cruising economy as she gets up onto the plane fairly quickly, we expect that with twin 215hp she will achieve 22 knots and cruise around 16 knots.

Our new Blyth 11m features our new hull design, thus giving even greater buoyancy and excellent sea keeping abilities without the need for bow bulbs.  Incorporating our Blyth styling with some excellent upgrades to quality from our standard 10m range.

The trade off for this new design will be a reduced top and cruising speed from our 10m.   We estimate a top speed of around 28 knots cruising around 18 - 20knots with the right engine package.

There are comparisons to our 10m shown above, with the 11m being a full planing hull, the 10m is semi planing. With narrow hulls our 10m cuts through the water with less drag so does have higher cruising speeds at lower revs.

The plus side for our 11m is a retained top speed and good cruising speed. Larger deck space, greater load carrying. Less or no spray at speed and a much larger wheel house and under deck area.

Various wheel house and deck options are available.

Including: Island and full deck options. With a full deck you can have accommodation area of 18' x 5' 6" with 7' head room!

Engine packages vary depending on client preference however our standard option of the new breed of Iveco common rail engines gives excellent fuel economy and a back and after sales service that is really top  drawer.

  We can also offer Cummins, Perkins, Yanmar, John Deere and Ford Mermaid.  Other engine options available on request.

The hull is a one piece design giving maximum strength and performance. Each individual hull has a beam of 5’6” giving greater load carrying capacity.

Several kit options are available.

We are already getting a great response from our clients and with prices from £150,000 plus v.a.t for completed boats we are already taking orders for this new breed of Blyth Catamaran.

Our current next available delivery slot for our new Blyth 11m is Spring 2009 (subject to remaining unsold)

Blyth 11m shown right with over 5m x 4.8m (16'5 x 16') of aft deck space, full island wheelhouse 11' x 12' various other options are available.

Blyth 11m Flybridge version fitted with twin 370hp Iveco. She has achieved 27 knots top speed with a cruising speed of 20 knots at 2400rpm using the new NEF 60 370hp rev to 3000 rpm

Fuel consumption expected around 7 gallons per hour at 20 knots

Our Blyth 11m when fitted with twin 380hp achieved over 28 knots, with twin 370hp speeds over 27 knots are easily matched.  Cruising at 20 - 22 knots is very realistic. Approx fuel consumption at these speeds 6 - 7 gallons per hour
