Broker's Comments What a special boat, The design and technology used in her build would shame many modern boats. She was a Halmatic special project and she proved very fast and economical giving fabulous range at good speeds... However she was very expensive to produce and so no other examples were ever completed, making her something very different in todays "same" look modern motorboats.. The military have used her design and several other boats were completed for Military use...
