The fitout for Danish Yacht's Espen Oeino superyacht is gathering momentum, with the next stage of the build nearing completion.
For the past three months it has been in Danish Yacht's main fitout shed, and fairing and painting have now begun. The tanks have been pressure-tested for a full 24 hours, a team of in-house specialists have been working together on fabrication, and the yacht is on target for a European Spring 2010 launch.
LATEST NEWS:
mouldCAM’s Director of Engineering, Jaime Marina, has just returned from Denmark where he has helped greet and unload the first shipment of moulds for Danish Yacht’s new 38m Dayboat, designed by Espen Oeino.
The CNC moulds, which Danish Yacht are using to shape both hull and deck of their latest build, arrived in the port of Skagen direct from Australia. Jaime was on the ground in Denmark to supervise offload and assembly at Danish Yacht’s 5,500sqm production facility. It all went “like clockwork” according to Danish Yacht’s Jonathan McDonnell.
“So far, we’re delighted. The moulds have arrived safely and were reassembled on site in less than 48 hours, with an accuracy of 0.25mm. That’s a huge bonus for us because it means we start production immediately with very little fairing and preparation work”.
mouldCAM have now started work on the next series of detailed moulds for the build, including CNC tooling for water ducts, plants and side panels. Shipment is scheduled for late 2008 to tie in with Danish Yacht’s build schedule.
********************************
Scandinavian powerboat manufacturer Danish Yacht conducted a worldwide search in 2007 to find a company that could help produce one of the world’s fastest day boats.
Following a global tender, Danish Yacht selected mouldCAM to produce the CNC moulds for the hull and the decks of their newest project, a 38 metre jet-propelled powerboat. "mouldCAM's proven track record with other prestigious worldwide boat builders illustrates their enthusiasm to produce an engineered mould exactly to our brief" said Jonathan McDonnell of Danish Yacht.
MouldCAM's CNC technology will be able to translate the boat design so closely that little or no fairing of the boat will be required, delivering significant weight savings and subsequent speed advantages. Danish Yacht's newest dayboat has been designed to travel at speeds of 51 knots per hour. Achieving minimum weight in the hull and the deck will also mean Danish yacht will have more weight for the luxury extras they plan to include.
One of the other key benefits for Danish Yacht in choosing mouldCAM is the ability to re-use the hull and deck moulds for subsequent builds.
Each mould will be broken down into smaller components allowing for easier transportation and storage. Even when reassembled – which only takes one to two days – the degree of accuracy remains. For Danish Yacht, this means they will be able to build from these moulds for all future orders of their new 38 metre dayboat.
"mouldCAM in Australia were selected for this important project, as we need a precise mould where almost no fairing will be required. This will mean that the final all up weight of the 38m will be kept to the absolute minimum, ensuring that our tank test predictions meet the designed hull speed of 50 knots." Jonathan McDonnell, Danish Yacht.
