The Pocket Battleship Of Sports Fishers
Article by Ian Macrae
The new Maritimo 550 was unveiled at the Sydney Boat Show and is a real battleship, designed to hunt the grandeurs. She is based on the Maritimo 52 hull, and incorporates much of the technology the Maritimo team has gained from their offshore racing experience.
In Australia, Bill Barry-Cotter is the unchallenged leader in applying offshore powerboat racing technology to the luxury craft he builds for the recreational market. “There are so many little things on this vessel. For example, the way we mount the steering rack on the new 550 model. Just the way we bolt that down is important, because the pressures on a rudder and the hydraulic lines are enormous. On the race boat it has to be super light and unbreakable,” commented Mr. Barry-Cotter.
