Customer FeedbackGeneral Manager

“These boats will basically hold in 10 Knots of wind at the beam. You could have the wind coming from the beam into the side of the vessel and it will hold. If the wind or current was coming from the bow, you could probably hold in hurricane force winds.”- Andre Dubroc
