Rolls-Royce Designed

Marine Diesels Make U.S. Debut

In New Catamaran

The first U.S. installation of Per- kins Engines' Rolls-Royce designed marine diesels is in an 80-foot-long and 30-foot-wide luxury catamaran built for Bottom Time Adventures of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.

Bottom Time conducts diving ex- peditions throughout the Bahamas as well as island cruises and, there- fore, requires a special and unique boat.

The three-deck catamaran, which stands 30 feet above the water line, is designed for comfort as well as performance. It is powered by twin

Rolls-Royce designed CV 12 marine diesels that provide 800 horsepower each at 2,100 rpm. The boat has a cruising speed of 22 knots, with a top speed of 30 knots and a range of over 2,000 miles per tank of fuel.

Designed by International Cata- maran of Australia, the boat was built by Atlantic and Gulf Boat

Builders, Inc. of Ft. Lauderdale un- der the supervision of Bottom

Time's Ron Piccari, the captain, and A.J. Bland, director. The en- gines were supplied by Perkins

Power Corp. of Miami, the Perkins distributor in Florida.

Mr. Bland said the all-aluminum catamaran has many unique fea- tures, beginning with a high-speed displacement hull which makes it different because high speed is usually obtained with planing hulls.

In addition to the Rolls-Royce de- signed main propulsion engines, on- board engine requirements are fur- nished by two 5kw marine generator sets powered by Perkins 6.3544 (M) diesels. These generator sets pro- vide power for a water desaliniza- tion unit and central air-condition- ing, among other things.

Perkins Engines, Inc., of Wayne,

Mich., is a leading supplier of ma- rine diesels in North America offer- ing engines ranging from 3V2 to 800 horsepower. The company is part of the Perkins Worldwide Group,

Peterborough, England, which ac- quired Rolls-Royce diesels in 1984.

Last year, Perkins established a milestone in the diesel-manufactur- ing industry by producing its 10 mil- lionth engine.
