High performance, high speed craft demand hull strength protection from continual wave impact, heat and water resistance, and minimal maintenance needs. We specifically hand apply high grade and quality fibreglass and richer vinylesta resin, with recycled plastic core to achieve both extreme strength and substantially extend the hull longevity from hydrolysis. Weight differential is minimal. All Enigma Powerboats include 10 year anti rot Guarantees.
Three shaped tapered steps create breaks along the hull by drawing air downwards into each step, creating air bubbles (hydrodynamics) which lifts the hull, reducing contact between hull/water surface (wetted area). This aids speed, fuel efficiency and stability.
Spray rails run the length of Enigma’s hull, progressively moving outward to the stern. They separate and guide waterflow up the horizontal rail edge, assisting hydrodynamic lift and spray deflection away from the hull. This improves stability, fuel efficiency and reduces spray on deck.
Smooth, comfortable, economical riding at speed (level planing), requires an even weight load from bow to stern. Powerboats tend to a heavier mid to stern area, thus (unless in flat calm conditions) as waves increase, the craft will bounce up and down (porpoise), which can cause handling difficulties, discomfort and fuel wastage. Twin tabs can level the hull by creating drag that lowers speed. We apply a ballast tank system that draws sea water to the bow, even weight distribution for level planing without drag speed slowing effect. And once back to calm water the water is easily dispersed.
Air vents positioned in Enigmas console work by forcing air down channels, and out under the hull adding further hull lift, complimenting spray rail and the air drawn in by the and tapered steps hydrodynamic applications.
Tubes size and position vary depending on a RIBs end purpose. When extended out to increase the beam, the effects of waves slamming upwards under the tubes causes vibrations felt by boat and those onboard. Enigmas wide 3.4m beam allows us to position the tubes inward resulting in smoother water flow and minimal vibrational effect, which also assists with Enigmas efficiency, passenger comfort and performance.
