Western Flyer is ready to conclude its structural reinforcement project at Bay

Ship & Yacht Co.

Built in 1996 for the Monterey Bay

Aquarium Research Institute by SWATH

Ocean Systems, the twin-hulled vessel measures 117 x 53 ft. (35.6 x 16 m) with a displacement of 419 long tons.

The newly refurbished vessel boasts the

SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin

Hull) design — distinguished by two tubu- lar, submerged lower hulls connected to the upper catamaran hull by narrow struts.

A midpoint strut located waterline pro- vides for a stable craft with minimal motion while underway.
