Check out that bow...She sure is purdy IMO.


Did you design that Roger?

No, that's the result of a lot of design work in Norway. (Wasn't it
Ulstein?) It's called the "X-bow".

My company just finished 2 for Groupe Bourbon too...

Yelp, I have a friend that talked Bourbon into fronting him 125
million to build 3 deep water PSV's for the gulf of Mexico. I like the
x bow, but it's not a new concept.. A company called bo-truk did it in
the 1960's in the Gulf of Mexico.

Norway's sailors get screwed on the wage side. We worked with some
Norway boats and the crews were earning about 1/4 of what American
crews were making.
