Danah Diver
This boat was constructed by Townsend Bay Marine in 2000, operating as a subcontractor for our parent company Lurssen Yachts. The contract requirement was for a boat that could exceed 40 knots in the warm waters of the Red Sea and be fully classed by Det Nortske Veritas (DMV). The boat exceeded contract requirements, reaching 48 1/2 knots with a pair of MTU power plants driving Lips waterjets. The vessel is the first ever to make use of the Lips composite jetdrives, which save weight and promise lower maintenance cost.
Currently under construction is the first of a series of similar designs that Townsend Bay Marine is marketing as the SportBoat - a design that can be easily modified to accommodate a number of water-related activities, including sportfishing and sea kayaking.
