Lindell Yachts and DLBA have teamed up to add a new design to the West Coast builder’s growing product line. The company was founded by Jim Lindell who had a passion to create fishing boats that are robust, handle well, and provide good fuel economy.
The DLBA team has been hard at work researching the feasibility of a monohull crew transfer vessel (CTV) for the U.S. Offshore wind farm industry. Rather than maintain the status quo with a European catamaran design, DLBA saw the opportunity to design a vessel tailored to the environmental and economic conditions present in the northeastern U.S.
Nothing beats in-person conversations. The DLBA team has greatly enjoyed discussing new projects and enjoying some good, old-fashioned boat talk this year at the events and conferences that are coming back after last year’s COVID-19 shutdown.
In this presentation, you will discover the synergistic partnership between marine designer and builder, with a focus on the iterative process.
Here at DLBA Naval Architects, sharing our latest ideas and hearing the latest ideas that others have is the fuel that keeps us going. As such, we are excited to announce that MACC is back in Baltimore, Maryland.
Ritchie Howell continues to produce world class custom sportfishing yachts from his shop in Wanchese, NC. DLBA is excited to be part of his team providing naval architecture and design services including hull form development, machinery layouts, powering and performance development, and deck design.
We consulted our business navigational charts and set our sights on Autonomy and Ai in last year’s article on the 58m Tempo concept. We examined all our onboard systems and tested our ideas for sea-worthiness in our SuperYacht Times article last fall.
The history of autonomy that DLBA, a Gibb & Cox division, has to draw from dates back to 1955. In that year, Gibbs & Cox launched the 30’ (9m) Sea Legs for the U.S. Navy.
Ferry service is one of the maritime industries last year to take a major hit from COVID-19 shutdowns. But as some discovered, sometimes a shutdown is an opportunity to refurbish and improve – do the things we’ve been wanting to do for a while, but haven’t had time to do. DLBA Naval Architects has been right there as Haig Point Transportation has decided to rethink their Ferry boat, Haig Point II and update its look.
