For Deleted User and those that PM'd some more pics of the Farmont 70. These from Dusseldorf this year cus take ages to load all the ones from this week and they are the same anyway.
Cant really put into words how huge the construction on this thing, not normally my bag but can not help but be impressed with the almost battleship feel of her. They have some sections of the hull shot with an AK47 at close range and there is only some slight gel cracking and a small indent to the grp. Hull is Awlgrip'd for better finish and the hull is a sandwich core Vinyl-ester resin with carbon and Aramid reinforcement which is pretty much lifeboat / naval standard and as good as it gets.
Joinery work was superb and very well put together you could imagine it lasting for decades.
Engine room again was obviously put together by someone who knows what they are doing, full standing room of course and a fully stocked workshop next to it. Looked as there was enough gear in there for a full engine strip down and rebuild while at sea!.
Anyway this is the saloon
The superbly fitted galley with all domestic sized appliances and some commerical looking stuff
Breakfast area (there is also a main dining area)
Corridor to the cabins
Master cabin
Master en-suite
One of the guest cabins
Lower crew cabin
Corridor to engine room and workshop
Engine room
Bridge deck also has pilot berth
Bridge deck looking aft (pic nicked off their CD)
P&S helm stations
Engines are twin Cummins 450 hp, cruise 9.5 knts and top whack is 12 knts, very surprising was the fuel burn at cruising is only 40 lph total.
Some big numbers
Fuel 20,000 litres (so thats enough for running 24 hrs a day for 21 days non stop at cruising speed!, or 30 days at 7 knts)
Displacement 90 tons
Water 2000 litres plus water maker
Range 4000 nm at cruise
There you are, have some more if that has'nt put you to sleep.
