Express X80(EC)

The Express 80(EC) has been designed for high performance, optimum manoeuvring capabilities and excellent sea-keeping characteristics.

The hull is a high lift, deep V-type with a hard chine, planing type. This hull form results in outstanding speed with high transverse stability and a sea kindly motion underway in any sea condition. The incorporation of integral tanks in the bottom of the hull allows for excellent range and represents a great safety element. They create a watertight double bottom, which protects against the consequences of damage to the hull. Moreover, the location and uniform distribution of the liquids on the bottom increases the stability and helps the Yacht to maintain a constant trim at all loading conditions.

The propulsion system is composed of two diesel engines, each driven by a fixed pitch propeller through a reduction gear. The Yacht will be equipped with a couple of semi-compensated spade rudders and one bow thruster.

The electric power required for ship service shall be supplied by two diesel generators.
Particular care will be taken to noise insulation all over the boat, and in particular to critical noise and vibration sources as main engines, rotating equipment and air/gases ducts.

At design stage, particular care will be put on maintenance friendly systems and equipment, so to reduce maintenance time after launch.
