The Boat
The boat will be custom built for the expedition to lifeboat standards. Manufactured by Ocean Dynamics, it will be 11m long and powered by a single 450 h.p. diesel inboard Caterpillar engine, coupled to a twindisc jet. 100's of litres of extra of fuel will be stored in bladders across the open decking. Sea trials will begin early 2003 around the UK. Sponsors and journalists will be welcome to visit and experience life on board.
       
Ocean Dynamics says, 'The Ribworker range Offshore is the ideal choice for the dedicated professional user, it can be customised to individual specification whatever the intended usage. Whether built for long distance cruising or all weather self righting versions.'
