The Beast
Designed, in collaboration with Brad Ives and Evy Ben Resheph from Clean Voyages, as the workhorse, best suited on routes with a lot to haul. The Design is minimized and maximized for sailing performance. A tall Rig and a hydrodynamic shaped rudder and Keel provide for good performance at all points of sail. A narrow beam for reduced resistance and improved sea motions. Minimized accommodations and deckhouse provide better aerodynamic performance and reduces weather helm.

DECK LAYOUT
The main deck features two deck hatches which give access to the Main and Forward Cargo holds. Forward of the cargo holds is a large Bosun store which houses the second generator and has space for storage of sail and other gear.
CARGO GEAR
The vessel is fitted with two Derrick style cranes which are powered by high speed hydraulic winches. Control consoles on the main deck provide line of sight and easy communication during cargo operations.
Accomodation
WHEELHOUSE
The wheelhouse is positioned on the Poopdeck which is raised from the main deck. The generous bridge is full width and has doors at the sides for easy access and communication during docking. Behind the bridge are the Captains Cabin and the Ships Office with aft access during Trading Operations. At the back of the wheelhouse two combined toilet / shower units can be found. Behind the Wheelhouse is the outdoor dining and recreation space. From this location the stairs in the wheelhouse lead to the Lower Deck.
ACCOMODATION
The Lower Deck features the following:
- a Large Galley with bar, a freezer and dry storage
- A VIP Cabin

- 2 Crew Cabins (4 persons and 2 persons)
This deck can also be accessed by a door in the forward bulkhead from the Main Deck. Below the deck is the Engine Room and the Steering Room which can be accessed via a door at the aft side of the accommodation.

MAIN SYSTEMS
The illustration below shows the proposed setup of the main power generation and distribution system. The philosophy behind this system is that during large load operations power can be generated without conversion losses and during low load operation the electric motors can provide the power without having to run the diesel engines under low load.
