EuroTech™’s FastWater™ 48 Wave Piercer PowerCat was designed to offer a long range/live-a-board motor cruiser with high stability both when under way and at anchor, a soft ride in a seaway, shallow draft with full propeller protection, and home like accommodations. The streamlined pilothouse with Portuguese bridge offers a climate controlled helm station as well as additional living space.

To achieve the desired qualities the FastWater™ 48 Wave Piercer PowerCat was developed so that it maintains all of the living spaces on or above the main deck with only machinery and tanks in the hulls. This configuration allows the individual hulls to be narrower offering improved speed and motion, while reducing overall weight. It also provides for improved isolation of noise, heat, odors and vibrations, typically experienced with vessels that share living, and mechanical spaces. Additionally the hulls can be outfitted with larger than usual tank capacities and the weight of these heavy items can be kept low and concentrated amidships. These features when combined with the generous overall beam result in a lower and more centralized center of gravity, yielding better ultimate stability and reduced pitching in a seaway.

The design of the FastWater™ 48 Wave Piercer PowerCat incorporates semi-displacement Wave Piercer hulls that deliver unparalleled performance and sea kindliness at both low and high speeds. The propellers and rudders are protected and shallow draft is maintained through the use of shallow tunnels and protective skegs while the underside of the bridge deck is v-shaped in order to minimize impact with waves. Powered with twin 315hp diesels, the FastWater™ 48 will be a breeze to handle with the standard electronic shift/throttles engine controls and bow thruster.

The hull and deck of the FastWater™ 48 Wave Piercer PowerCat have been designed for strength and light-weight utilizing EuroTech’s FastForm™ computer aided solid sheet aluminum construction technique, Alustar™ 5059 alloy and CeRam-Kote™ protective coating. The internal structure consists of aluminum longitudinal stringers and aluminum ring frames with honeycomb-cored fiberglass center sectioned bulkheads. The entire hull and deck are insulated for thermal and acoustic considerations. The interior structural soles and bulkheads are of honeycomb cored fiberglass sandwich construction and the interior joiner work is a combination of lightweight wood veneered panels with hardwood trim. This hybrid method of construction offers light weight, with high strength, and when combined with EuroTech’s SemTech™ (systems, equipment & materials) advanced outfitting technology provides a seaworthy vessel that is truly easy to maintain and operate.
