The Valder Yachts designs are a development of the previous 17m and 18m asymmetric, foil assisted cats designed by Roger Hill. The hull shape best suited for a foil assisted yacht is without doubt, asymmetric. The Inner chine is brought closer to the keel line allowing for a lower foil attachment position. This places the foil deeper in the water, without compromising the hull geometry.
Carbon-fibre has an incredible strength to weight ratio and can be employed in a multitude of marine applications. For example, it can be laid to form complex geometry impossible to achieve with traditional forms of boatbuilding.
Valder Yachts undergo a FEA (Finite Element Analysis) for the engineering of components. This ensures the lightest of vessels are safe for fast ocean cruising.
Carbon fibre is renowned for its tensile strength. It is one of the strongest fibres on the market.
Carbon is naturally resistant to oxidization. This makes it well suited to the harsh salt environment in which these boats play.
Following along the lines of the luxury car industry, Carbon Cats has taken a whole new direction when itcomes to designing luxury motor yachts in New Zealand. Clear coated exterior surfaces, exquisite leather work and sleek interior finishes with stain carbon trims. Say goodbye to bow rails, hello to free-flowing aesthetics. The traditional polished stainless brightwork has been superseded with matt black. The presentation is a snappy clean finish.
For Valder Yachts to set the benchmark for speed and fuel efficiencies when cruising, a foil must be implemented to aid in reducing drag. Multiple foil designs and methods of implementation have been explored, analysing their different lift, efficiency, and pressure distribution characteristics. The foil chosen can produce 20 tons of lift at cruising speeds effectively halving the vessels displacement with a considerable reduction in wetted surface area.
