Canados launches Oceanic’s Range new 143’ Flagship

The Iconic Roman Shipyard will officially introduce its new Oceanic Line Flagship, the 143’ Tri-Deck, at the upcoming fall Boat Shows.

The #oceanic143trideck offers the best of both world; extremely long-range capabilities and a 24 knots top end speed.

She is the result of an in-house #design and engineering with luxury interiors by #michelareverberi #design from Rome.

In addition to the luxury, yet elegant interiors and unique construction quality, the Oceanic 143’ features unseen before outdoor entertainment spaces.

The #oceanic143trideck will undertake dock trials until July 20 and will then undergo its sea-trials period.

THE OCEANIC PHILOSOPHY

Capitalizing on over seven decades of luxury #yacht building, #canados started producing the OCEANIC line of boats aiming at bringing to the market the unique concept of an Explorer styled #yacht in terms of #design and range with much more than the 13 knots usual top speed offered by most explorers on the market.

Canados engineering department started from a blank piece of paper rethinking a new hull architecture from scratch. That would allow for optimum comfort and reduced fuel consumption at long range speeds (from 8 to 12 knots) with the capacity to run the boat up to 24 knots with the 143’ model and even faster with the 76’, 81’ and 100’ models.

The #oceanic143trideck has been launched on June 29, 2022 and will be unveiled to the general public at the 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival and #monacoyachtshow.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

The hull architecture that was developed by #canados had to be:

  • able to provide for optimum comfort at displacement speeds between 8 and 12 knots with minimum hydrodynamic drag to reduce fuel consumption;
  • extremely stable from idle to top speed;
  • capable of 24 knots top to allow owners, when onboard, to move rapidly from a destination to another.

Three criteria that have never been united in a single boat.

Multiple tank testing sessions were necessary to reach the desired performance levels at each given speed considering the additional challenge of having an expedition typed vessel with a massive superstructure installed so far forward. Here, the difficulty was to keep a perfect longitudinal balance considering the distribution of the masses. This is how #canados solved all these critical challenges:

TOP PERFORMANCE

On a 43-metre luxury #yacht, apart from the power package, reaching 24 knots could not be achieved with a displacement hull. A typical planning hull had to be removed from the equation since it’s not able to offer the required stability at displacement/slow speeds.

As weight is always the hidden enemy, the hull was entirely built in E-Glass and Vinylester resin while the superstructure is made of Kevlar/Aramat. A solution that considerably reduces maintenance costs, ages much better and has a much higher impact resistance compared to steel or aluminum.

The Oceanic particular hull architecture, named by #canados Technical Office as “Displanning”, offers the speed of a conventional planning hull and the comfort of a displacement hull at low speeds.

POWER PACKAGE AND TRANSMISSIONS

Moving a 43-meter by 8.2-meter beam tri-deck #yacht at 24 knots is not an easy task. The Oceanic 143’ is powered with three of the all-new Caterpillar C32 B-Series 12-cylinder 3-Turbo engines developing 2400 hp each.

Another goal was to run the boat at low speeds for long crossings, so the center engine gearbox is equipped with an intercooler allowing turning it off and running the boat from eight knots on the side engines at low rpm, burning only 40 liters per hour. This performance is obtained with the help of the purposedly designed bulbous bow increasing the waterline length by about 5 meters compared to a regular hull. An apparatus that also considerably reduces pitching in facing seas.

For performance reasons as well as to reduce draft and allow the boat to anchor as close as possible to the beach, the three shafts are installed in tunnels, allowing draft to be reduced to about 2 meters.

BALANCE, CENTER OF GRAVITY, STABILITY

With masses linked to the superstructure deported far forward, the hull architecture had to compensate the potential balance issue. Thus, the retained solution was to reduce the buoyancy of the aft section of the hull. This has been obtained by creating two massive steps while the tunnel drives are also reducing the hull volume aft lowering the buoyancy.

Engines had to be installed as close as possible to the transom resulting in the use of U-Drive gearbox systems.
