(Detail)

This “intermediate” size cruiser is based on a hull beam of 15’ (4.5m), i.e. including the corridor width in addition to the BC’s full width.

This catamaran, each of which hull could contain 2 x 2 modules stowed on each other, would therefore have a capacity of a total of 34 “Twin” BCs, i.e. for example a crew of 20 to 40 and 48 to 96 guests.

Each of the BCs would have a window with a view on the on the outside sea, subject to the waterproofing of the windows at the lower level being very well taken care of, since same will often be at or under water level.

The overall dimensions of the vessel would be approx 140’ (42.5m) long and 72’ (22m) wide, with a single indoor deck of 12m x 22m i.e. 264sqm and an outdoor deck of the same size on top, half of which could be covered, and to which should be added the 150sqm “trampoline” between the front section of the two hulls.

The shared areas would also comprise the outdoor hull decks (representing around 120sqm), the distribution corridors (i.e. about 100sqm), plus some 60sqm laundry and storage area in the front part and in (the front section of) the lower deck of the hulls.

This represents a total of about 950sqm in shared areas, i.e. more than 15sqm per passenger of which about half is indoors.
