The Goliath Series releases yet another Steve Kozloff expedition yacht design concept - The curvaceous 66 meter G11 polar class expedition yacht.
The G11 is a large purpose-built steel hulled motor yacht with an ice class hull (PC2). Her steel hull has the strength to endure the intensity of driving through moderate multi-year ice conditions. Undoubtedly, making her one of the most formidable yachts of
her size.
With the advent of hand-held remote controls, azipods, and bow thrusters, the G11 is
designed for minimal crew for a more private cruising experience.
The G11 has an extreme range of 22,000nm, equating to a 90-day endurance at 10kts.
The water ballast system can adjust the draft from 15 ft. to as little as 10 ft., enabling the
G11 to operate closer to shore and a generous 36.5 ft. of freeboard at the bow offers a drier on-deck experience in heavy seas.
The 2,806sq. ft. aircraft hangar can accommodate four small or two medium helicopters.
A hangar is a necessity in long-term harsh condition voyages, and a very useful feature
for visiting guests with helicopters. The large flight deck makes air operations possible in harsher conditions. The two large externally stored free fall life boats can accommodate the entire crew and guests.
As with all yachts within the Goliath Series each yacht offers:
A water ballast system that can adjust the draft 30% for shallow water operations, or for stability purposes;
A very generous free-board at the bow, offering a drier on-deck experience in heavy seas;
Rotor-craft hangars that are a necessity in long-term harsh condition voyages, and a very useful feature for visiting guests with helicopters;
Free fall life boats to assure a successful deployment in the worst of conditions.
