Scandinavian design
A holistic view in which functionality is central to each model’s design. Why? Because we build boats for conscious people who want their boat to be as good as it can possibly be when used in its natural element.
Smart speed concept
Smart Speed features a hull designed for a comfortable driving experience at speeds up to 22 knots. The speed can be adapted to sea conditions for higher safety, better comfort and the best possible experience at sea.
At Nimbus our belief is that a boat should run comfortably at the speeds at which it is used. We know that Coupé owners are fond of cruising at speeds from 4 to 20 knots, when boats normally produce large wake and burn a lot of fuel. For the 305 Coupé we have designed a hull that rides comfortably throughout the entire speed range. In practice, the 305 has no real planing threshold and returns low fuel consumption at all speeds.
Speed can be adjusted to weather conditions, which provides better safety, comfort and the best possible ride from which to appreciate your natural surroundings.
Smart speed hull design
optimized for 0-22 knots
The hull shape is hard chine with concave cross sections. The transom is lifted with a propeller tunnel that kick upwards at transom. Above the chine there is an additional chine in order to offer additional stability but also for better spray deflection.
The hull is relatively deep in order to avoid the need for additional keel and to offer good sea keeping behavior in head seas and excellent maneuvering performance in low speed. (3-5 kt). At center of gravity the deadrise is 21.5 degrees but towards transom the hull flattens out to reduce resistance.
In order to optimize the hull, CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) calculations are conducted using the commercial code SHIPFLOW.
