S900 Sports Inflatable
Client: Sagitarius
The brief from Sagittarius Sporting Company's Marine Division was for a
seakindly hull form that would handle the most adverse conditions under
speed, combined with an easthetic look that seperated the design from other
manufacturers and models.
Working alongside Sagitarius Marines Vice President, Paul Goddard, the
result is a hull that has a moderately deep-V bottom incorporating wide
chine flats and a low beam length ratio. The inflatable is D-shaped as
opposed to the traditional tube shape which maximises internal space.
Various internal and cockpit layouts are available including a console
version and a cabin version with a small interior layout.
Production is under way at 'Sagittarius Marines' Chinese yard. Further
models are on the design table.
