 Patented 11.5 mtr Shipping Container boat

The 12mtr sailing cat is designed to go very fast with a modest rig for shorthanded journeys. It has the steerage and transom to finish prior to engine and inside fitout.

6.5 monohull trailer sailer has the owner finishing at his locality.

7.5 metre motor/sail catamaran is on the final fit out stage ready for launch sometime in February 2009. This boat will be in the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show 09

The hulls are finished on the 12mtr Motor fishing cat, and this boat is currently being decked and the superstructure built.

New Designs

The 12mtr cruising cat is really a super house boat with huge bows and go to sea capabilities, it is due to start Jan 09  Similar to the fishing cat the hulls will be independent of the superstructure which will be fitted on later. This allows two different teams utilizing different skills to complete the vessel in half the time.

Shipping Container boat (aka . . . narraboat )

A patented flat water canal boat will be under construction this year. Registered as the shipping container boat it will have it's own web page.

"Narraboat" 40 foot shipping container.

Able to fit in a 40 ft shipping container it will be flat water/canal boat capable of being transported wherever containers can go on road or water.

The thinking behind this is the low cost of moving containers, for instance it's cheaper to move a 40 ft container from Brisbane to London than for one person to fly business class.

A large mobile home with two queen size bed cabins, separate showers and heads for each, load your boat and drop it off in France, do the rivers and waterways then you can take it home, lease it to the travel industry or maybe do another country.

It will be constructed the same as the others, it is legally trailable because of its size and in fact we will build the trailers.

All Southern Clipper vessels enjoy positive buoyancy -- that elusive Holy Grail of the boating industry.
