high tech building to house the leading edge composite construction for which

Queenship has become so well known.

In addition to custom yachts of all designs, Queenship presently builds three semi-production series: the

Admiralty series from 61 to 70 ft.; the 70 to 77 ft. Berretta series; and the

Caribe series with models up to 96 ft..

Design work and retooling is already underway which will see increases to the beam and length to the hulls as well as styling upgrades to each of these series.

Motoryacht Ad Lib

Launched

The motoryacht Ad Lib went into pro- duction at Alloy Yachts in January 2004 and was launched on September 7, 2005. The 131 ft. (40m) Ad Lib is simi- lar in design to the motoryacht S.Q.N. launched by Alloy Yachts in February 2003, but is one meter longer and has some changes in equipment, interior lay- out and finish. As with S.Q.N., the yacht was designed by Dubois Naval

Architects with a Don Starkey Design interior. She is owned by Gary Lane, the Chairman of Alloy Yachts. Ad Lib has an aluminum hull and superstructure and is sports a 27.8 ft. (8.5m) beam.

Northern Lights 66 kW generators are fitted together with two 35 kW

Mastervolt shore power converters. The 5.3 m tender is stored in the lazarette with side door access to the water on the port side. A docking station is fitted on the starboard side of the aft cockpit. The yacht is fitted with a Naiad stabilizer system.

SHAFT HORSEPOWER SYSTEMS Starting at under $6000.00 Saving fuel Saving time Saving money

The Digital Torque Meter System is unique and extremely accurate because shaft horsepower, torque, and RPM are meas- ured using the newest technology. Two sensors, which can be located anywhere on the shaft (usually one on each side of the bearing housing), are used to pick up the signal from the magnetic tape or from the fiber optic sensors (not shown). Up to 16,000 pulses per revolution. Can be achieved. The system is simple enough to install, calibrate, & maintain without factory service, keeping the cost to a minimum. It will help to save fuel by comparing the fuel rate to the shaft horsepower and is repeatable, reliable, and accurate. Therefore, the vessel’s previous performance can be compared to the current, keeping the vessel properly maintained.
