Arksen 85 - Model Testing

Our technical team and naval architect partner, Humphreys Yacht Design, put the Arksen 85 through its paces last year in a number of tank test sessions. Here is Tom Humphreys talking you through the process at the Qinetiq Ocean Basin and the kinds of rigorous testing we performed.

This design looks very similar to Steve Dashew's offshore boats. Are you associated with Steve or his designs ??

The design of Arksen vessels, like FPB, is inspired by the ability to cruise worldwide in high and low latitudes and to cross oceans efficiently and in safety. This leads to certain similarities with the FPB approach in terms of capability and functionality. We have also developed Arksen vessels to have a greater internal volume for guests and carrying capacity for toys and equipment and also a greater level of comfort and flexibility in terms of client interior design choices. Arksen vessels are designed to MCA Category 0 allowing unrestricted commercial operation.
