MV Ady Gil

(World Record Trimaran, Formerly known as Earthrace)

1.0.5 stock speedboat, download from KerbalX

Ady Gil, formerly known as Earthrace, is a world-record trimaran utilized as an anti-whaling ship by the Sea Shepherds. In KSP format, it is powered by a Panther afterburning engine and a Juno lift jet; she is capable of over 80 knots in correct trim (Alt S/Alt W keys). It will serve KSC Coast Guard as a maritime interception and patrol vessel.

This replica was scheduled for a Sunday morning release but was delayed as I woke with excruciating pain earlier; so I'm posting this from the emergency ward. Hope you enjoy the craft!

Awesome craft. Can't wait to use them in the SSI Aerospace contract pack! :) I also like your jeep. I need a jeep for the KSC Island Airfield.

Beautiful craft and it is amazing that such beauty was achieved with low parts count and simple design. Really liked it.

Thanks for the compliments and well wishes; I have been discharged and on home rest with painkillers after receiving treatment for a swelled kidney that felt like an exploding SSME with no jettison option.

Here's a short craft feature.

Sorry about your health, I hope you get well soon! Also, now I've got to try a speedboat too.

It's about twice as fast as the real-life boat.
Real boat, 40 knots on biodiesel engines.
KSP version, 84 knots (~42m/s) on afterburning jet engine.

It's easy to make go-fast boat these days, I have a really tiny one to get your first Kerbals' marine license with, called [URL="http://kerbalx.com/pandoraskitten/WaveRunner-PC-1-Speedboat"]WaveRunner PC-1[/URL]. Powered by 2 Juno water-jets it's quick, easy to maneuver and low on maintenance. Top speed is about 60 knots which is about on par with a mid to high end luxury speedboat IRL.

For even faster designs we need to look at hydrofoils, which are easy to do too - just take the Ady Gil's functional planing hull and offset it as far as it will go downwards and we have a hydrofoil.

DOOOOOD.

Make one capable of circumnavigating Kerbin!

Looks super epic. Best regards to your health, but I think I said that earlier on the KSP Facebook page, I thought I saw these

Is their a feature for it to be split in half?

[inigma]

The Ady Gil is great (aka fast) for testing this contract pack. Released 0.1 for ya to test if you wish.

I'm surprised I haven't seen someone make a whaling ship and try to ram it for this purpose already
