Demon Alert is proud to announce membership of the "Maricuda Atlantic Challenge" project. Demon Alert has successfully joined the team of this exciting and innovative project following discussions at the Southampton Boat Show 2010 and subsequent meetings with Team Leader David Aitken (Managing Director, MSc (Brunel), CEng, MIMechE, MICE, AMRINA), Martin Spooner, Mark Lello (LL.B, BMLA, BMF, Skipper) and other team members.
An 80m (262ft) long wave-piercing trimaran is to be constructed in the UK - It has automated fast-response hydraulic systems and dynamic attitude-sensing controls. Powered by two gas turbines this exciting all-weather craft will carry a fuel load sufficient to complete the 3000 mile Trans-Atlantic crossing in under two days. The MAC hull design has been dubbed, ‘The Concorde of the Seas’…
Demon Alert will provide the 'Automatic Sea Vision' system enabling the crew to avoid objects on the water that would scupper the challenge - Items such as sea containers, trees and of course other vessels. The system uses thermal imaging cameras and software that will track up to 200 objects on the sea's surface at any one time. It alerts the crew to any potential hazard, giving them proactive time to make course alterations. In additions, whilst the boat is in berth it will be secured with various products from our security portfolio.
The challenge is due to take place in 2013 to win the Blue Riband and Hales Trophies.
The team will be going through various evaluation and test phases to ensure all systems on board are full functional in support of this voyage.
