Actually quite a deceptive one - it is a new 10 metre triple step hull that we have just designed and is going into production abroad!

The third step is not that significant - infact it tapers out before the main chine.
It will come into play when running the boat in a following sea, giving a little less wetted surface and a bit more lift further forward.

So it’s running on 3 surfaces at max speed?
It looks good, what propulsion and speed have you designed for?

At top speed and perfect conditions just the first step - with other steps coming into play as conditions and speeds change.
Speeds and powers always a problem with a production boat, as the builders want a version with the possibility of 100 mph+ , yet the boat still has to cruise and handle at lower speeds and also with lower power options - so actually quite a range of twin inboard powers have been allowed for.
Not quite sure when the first boat will be launched - but guess we are looking at late summer this year.
