Offshore motor yacht 50

Designed by Victoria naval architect Gregory C. Marshall, the Kanter 50 is intended to appeal to experienced owners who are looking for comfortable accommodations in a serious offshore yacht that can still be managed by only one couple. The hull is a displacement form with fine entry forward and 12 degree dead rise aft. Good flare forward and a low center of gravity will make this vessel exceptionally comfortable and dry on long passages, and soft, stable and fast for those times when you would rather avoid the weather. The hull form has been carefully designed to virtually eliminate the uncomfortable ‘hump zone’ that plaques so many vessels of this size. The keel extends below the running gear to make those inevitable ‘bumps’ less costly, and to give the vessel exceptional directional stability. Steering on the vessel comes standard with hydraulic controls and the rudder is fully balanced. Lines of sight from both helm stations have been optimized. Sound and vibration have been carefully addressed not only for the obvious reasons, but for the subtle reasons as well. Long term noise and vibration are a major cause of fatigue on long passages. The engine room has double the insulation of most vessels in this class and every moving pump or motor has been soft mounted. All external deck drains are run inside the vessel to the boot stripe to eliminate messy streaks on the hull. All piping throughout is colour coded with a proper identification plague in the engine room. Even engine room air has been carefully plumbed throughout to eliminate ‘hot spots.’ Anchor handling is facilitated through two sets of rollers on the foredeck.
