BMComposites is delighted to confirm that they have received a second order for a LINX 30 foil-assisted, beach landing catamaran tender, marking hull #2 of this 30-foot model, which was first unveiled at Palma Superyacht Village in 2022.
The first LINX 30 was hailed by both its mothership superyacht crew and those who've had the opportunity to sea trial it, as offering exceptional stability and performance at high speed. Its beach landing ability allows it to be driven onto the shore and disembarked from the forward door in total safety.
The LINX 30 is constructed in lightweight carbon composites and utilises a state-of-the-art foil-assisted catamaran hull configuration. The foil induces lift, which in turn works to reduce drag, improve seakeeping, and thereby increases efficiency with a 40% improvement on fuel consumption. This main foil is fixed between the two hulls but does not extend below them, and twin trim tabs to aft provide the necessary down force to equalise the lift.
"We are delighted to have received this second order for a LINX 30 - this goes a long way to cementing Linx Tenders' position in superyacht tender and luxury leisure craft market, and we're excited to build more of these cats. We are working on several other enquires at moment, including for a larger LINX 40 model, and an electric version." - Mark Branagh, Managing Director at BMComposites.
The LINX 30 will be constructed using the GURIT Prime 37 Infusion Resin system, with Corecell Marine SAN Foam.
The LINX 30 will have a 42-knot top speed and a minimum range of 230 nautical miles at its 25-knot cruising speed.
