West Australian based research and development company Nauti-Craft has released their latest prototype vessel ‘2Play’, the first of its kind 8-metre catamaran. At its core is the Nauti-Craft marine suspension system. This technology separates the vessel’s hulls from the deck and superstructure via a “passive reactive” interlinked hydraulic system which provides unsurpassed levels of control and stability whether stationary or traveling at speed, say the designers.The patented suspension system dramatically reduces harsh impacts that lead to injury and fatigue of the crew and passengers. The system proficiently demonstrates superior levels of comfort and safety whilst minimizing motion sickness. The result is a vessel which can handle heavier seas and still provide a safe operating environment for crew and a more enjoyable ride for passengers.
Nauti-Craft Pty Ltd is a research and development company focused on the design and development of the Nauti-Craft™ marine suspension system. This patented technology separates the vessel’s hulls from the deck and superstructure via a ‘passive reactive’ interlinked hydraulic system which provides increased levels of ride comfort, control and stability. Whole body vibration (WBV) is reduced by up to 75% providing unparalleled levels of shock mitigation.
