Dennis Harjamaa started a company called Artnautica Yacht Design & Boatworks in Finland in 1995 after having finished his boatbuilding and yacht design studies in the Maine, US.
The main focus back then was to build original designs in wood and epoxy composite. It turned out that a country that is covered by snow half of the year may not have been the ideal base for such efforts.

Life took some interesting turns and two years later Dennis found himself in New Zealand where he got a job as a boatbuilder with McMullen and Wing. One year later he was given a chance to start work in the drawing office, a position he held for six years. Later he spent three years as in-house designer at Vaudrey Miller Yachts and a year with Roger Hill Yacht Design.
Years spent working at the junction between the drawings of some of the world's best designer's and the every-day issues of building the highest quality vessels afloat taught many valuable lessons in design.
After two years working as an independent designer and doing contract work for others Artnautica Yacht Design Ltd (NZ) was started, the name reflecting the link to the Dennis' earlier days of being a hands-on builder/designer.
Looks a lot like a GH N47, LOL
ReplyDeleteHere is the looks alike FPB vessel by Steve Dashew - http://www.dashewoffshore.com/
ReplyDeleteTotally different concept compared to Dashew's designs, which are full displacement heavily built designs with complicated systems. This is a semi-displacement hull shape that has no stern drag at crusing speed, as the stern wake shows it's practically on the plane, simple to maintain and operate, twice as efficient and likely a quarter of the price per foot of length...
ReplyDeleteI don't like the upper bow and anchor launch chute design, which could have been made a lot prettier, the main cabin needs to be raised at least one foot to have proper visibility over the bow, the skeg/prop/rudder are at least 2' too far forward and I can't see why the tunnel should extend all the way to the stern, but these are minor flaws easily fixed...
It should appeal to a much broader clientele and I would not mind buying one as a retirement vessel in the Caribbean...
