Blount Continues To Innovate

At 82, Luther Blount has added once again to his reputation of providing unique solutions to maritime challenges.

Blount has recently introduced a new composite catamaran designed to go faster, cost less and generate less wake than similar sized vessels currently sold.

The 40 ft. high speed experimental cata- maran is dubbed EXP-299 and is being tested on Narragansett Bay. Powered by twin Mercury's (cumulative 500 hp), the 5,000 pound vessel is built on the prin- ciple of lightweight permanent buoyan- cy, and includes a novel means of attaching fiberglass to aluminum. In fact, Blount has created a separate com- pany — HiTech Ultralight Catamarans

Ltd. — to design, build and license the vessels.

The Aluminum Design manual, yet it is far more powerful because it not only explains how to solve a problem, but actually performs many of the calcula- tions. The software also includes the ability to perform parametric analysis, solving problems using multiple input variables in order to determine an opti- mum solution.
