With an impressive 40 knots, this Air Rider design has proven popular as the forward cabin allows sleeping berths and a chemical toilet. It is a variation based on the proven Rescue Boats.
- THE AIR RIDER’S ABILITY TO SAFELY FOLLOW AND QUARTER SEAS AS WELL AS ITS INCREDIBLE ABILITY TO CARRY LOAD WHILST MAINTAINING SPEED, SETS THE BENCHMARK FOR DESIGN.
The finely tuned hull shape has a well established reputation in several fields including patrol,sea search and rescue and commercial fishery.
What sets the Air Rider apart are the unique, two full length outer hull tunnels, which entrap air, causing aerated water to lubricate the hull tunnels. This effect gives a softer ride and safer handling in ALL sea conditions.
The Air Rider is the most dynamically stable hull shape that GMD has developed over the
past 25 years.
- The hull self corrects when running in following seas
- Air Rider hulls feel more stable at rest than an equivalent size monohull, making for a more comfortable fishing / at rest platform
