Vessel being constructed on Timi beach yesterday
Vessel being constructed on Timi beach yesterday
Have heard several stories who actually owns this boat but it looks expensive, last story I heard was it is owned by a wedding company, but this is only one of several stories I have been told.

Can you see what provision had been made for getting it to the sea??

Rollers are placed on the ground and the vessel will then be tugged, pulled and pushed into the water. The standard method of entry.

Re: Vessel being constructed on Timi beach yesterday
Will they go through the usual formalities by saying
"I name this boat etc etc" and smash a bottle of champers
on the side??

Re: Vessel being constructed on Timi beach yesterday
OK silly remarks ignored obviously misinformed members, they are starting to dig out the beach area and below the build site, I was told they will be using large blow up rollers, I hope I am around when the do launch the boat.

It will be quite a sight when it's launched. Hope they publish the date and time.

Oh dear you, have you lost your sense of humour if you ever had any, they were stupid remarks and got the right answer.Maybe you know how this boat will be launched? but probably not.

Re: Vessel being constructed on Timi beach yesterday
Yes Trev I have been informed and why they are digging out the beach that it is going out on large rubber inflatables rollers?, I hope I am in the cafe when they do launch it, some time away I think.

My friend who works for Lloyds Marine Insurance said unless there's loads of ballast it does look rather top heavy (no draught to speak of!)
Re: Vessel being constructed on Timi beach yesterday
A serious question for just a moment. How far from the sea is it Jim? Must admit it looks a bit like blowup tank decoys in WW2
Re: Vessel being constructed on Timi beach yesterday
It is built on the Catamaran principle. All the weight is very low down. Which includes Water tanks, Fuel tanks, Holding tanks as well as the Engines. So no keel required.

Re: Vessel being constructed on Timi beach yesterday
Seems that the launch wasn’t publicised? May be because of the current situation?
Re: Vessel being constructed on Timi beach yesterday
There was footage of the launch being shared on Facebook and YouTube Not sure if this will work, but links below:
