TIAMA
- Built to work
Designed
and built for fast passage making, this yacht has the added versatility
of being capable of operating in remote areas. The retractable keel
allows the navigation of shallow waters and rivers and the security
of sailing in more sheltered waters when operating on remote uncharted
coasts.
A major feature of the design is the ability of the yacht to operate
in extremes of climate and to winter over in the Antarctic. Hull
and decks are insulated and cooling water systems are closed circuit
/ internal. There is a ventilation system incorporating opening
ports and hatches, dorade vents and solar fans.
The hull shape and appendage design, while illustrating the most
efficient forms for speed, seakeeping, control and load carrying,
also permit the vessel to winter on a frozen sea or be deliberately
placed on a beach. The steel construction and detailing are designed
and built to the most demanding engineering and survey standards.
The retractable swing ballast keel, featuring high lift, low drag
sections, is locked in place when it is in the lowered sailing position.
The balanced rudder, with similar efficient sections, is also fully
retractable.
The rig, which is robust, also includes the latest developments
in both materials and sail pan design. The vessel's functional and
survey requirements have not compromised the sailing ability of
the yacht. Windward efficiency and the ability to work off a lee
shore have been given priority.
A 3.8m inflatable dinghy is carried on the fore deck. Another two
dinghies fitted with a complete range of safety equipment are included
in the yacht's inventory. The design of the deck layout and rig
allow the yacht to be sailed by one person for limited periods.
For longer periods the yacht will have a minimum crew of four with
a minimum deck watch of two.
TIAMA - Designed for people
A primary
function of the design is to accommodate as many uses as possible,
with an emphasis on the requirements of research expeditions, voyaging
and adventure cruising. The needs of on-board adventurers and campaigners,
their camera teams, communications, administration and clerical
requirements are all provided for. A large cabin (with desk and
220 volt power) in the centre of the vessel functions as an office
for computer and clerical work. There is a large volume of stowage
space together with appropriate stowage for special items such as
camera and scientific equipment.
The yacht can carry up to 25 people on day trips and sleep up to
ten for an overnight sail. There are three separate two-berth cabins
and for shorter voyages the port side of the saloon provides a semi
