240 sq ft deck & 250 mile range

Apr 25th, 2016

Cheetah Marine, Isle of Wight catamaran builders have delivered their latest 11.2m Cheetah to Yaroslavl in Russia. At Cheetahs longest overall hull of 11.2m with the shortest wheelhouse available, ‘Wild North’ fully demonstrates the large work area available on a safe and stable work platform underlining the earning capacity for this type of vessel.

‘Wild North’ will operate within the Russian River systems, transporting cargos, in particularly fresh fish in the Yaroslavl Oblast region. Complimenting Cheetah’s highly efficient hull design, Wild North is powered by twin 250hp Honda outboards producing top speeds of 40 knots and cruising speeds of 22 knots at 2 litres per mile. Twin 500 litre tanks provide a range of 250 miles based on the NMEA data provided during sea trials from Ventnor haven.

The catamaran features a short 1.2m, full width style wheelhouse, maximizing outside deck space to over 24m². This series is available from 9.2 to 11.2m.

Sean Strevens, Cheetah designer comments ‘We have an established export market to Ukraine and Georgia, previously for hydrographic survey catamaran. This delivery demonstrates that Cheetahs are well received in all aspects of the workboat market.’
