EURO 1600 UPDATE.  Euro 1600 P - Planing hull that can be built in Steel,  Aluminum or Fiberglass.

The Euro 1600 was originally designed as a Semi-Displacement  Motor Yacht for construction in Aluminum or Steel. 

The CUTTING FILES and plans were developed in our design office and many pre-cut STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES and cutting file packages have been supplied to builders world-wide.  This Semi-Displacement version is best operating at speeds of between 12 and16 knots.

If you want Planing speeds with reasonable HP then WEIGHT of steel is a problem so you should build this boat in aluminum or if you insist on steel construction then you must be prepared to install additional HP of up to twin 1,000 hp diesels  !

Based on our wide experience of designing planing hulls we have now developed the new Euro 1600 P which can with suitable power, best be operated at speeds from 18 – 30 knots. 

Further information is available via the STUDY PLANS.

NOTE: We now have an excellent set of construction photos plus many photos of completed EURO 1600 that are available with the STUDY PLAN PACKAGES

ABOVE AND BELOW: Two customized versions of the EURO 1600 planing hull.

EURO 1200 +
Built from a Bruce Roberts STEEL STEEL OR ALUMINUM PLANS & CUTTING FILES

Hi !  Sorry for my late reply, My boat building is now 99,9% completed. There is still some minor interior finishing works to be done in this winter.

She get first time in to water August 2016. 2017 was first full season. There is now almost 2000 nm behind. The overall feeling is that it is worth of all efforts I have put on her.

She΄s final weight is 13 800 kg with empty water tanks and 200 liter diesel on board. Relatively lightweight, I think. Best cruising speed

8kn(10L/h) and top speed +11kn (never tried more). There is single engine 220hp / 2200rpm.

The hull is extended by 750mm + ~200mm to swimming platform. The overall length is 13 meters. There is also some design change at stern (above waterline). EURO1200 design seems to be very tolerant to changes because all pre-calculations you have provided match perfectly even I made my own modifications.

She floats right way as designed and performance is as you have shown in your calculations. Propeller selection was done with excel sheet you have provided. With the Excel calculation of propeller I get 100% match in very first try.

There is some photos attached in this mail. One from 2017 and two from

2016 (very first trip). 

I have build her completely alone (almost). In some points I get helping hands from my friends. The only contractor was guy who did the polyurethane foam insulation.

The name she get from my grandma (very old Finnish name, denotes "peaceful mind")

Brgs, Jussi.  Finland.

EURO 1600 – Sweet Sixteen
First sea trials: 
Trials today went very well and all navigation equipment is now calibrated and tested. All in perfect working order and the possibilities with the Simrad system are endless, she runs and handles beautifully.

We took "Sweet Sixteen" to some wider and deeper water and of course tested her manoeuvring / tracking / emergency stop and speed in the process. With a current of 2 Kn she does on the main engine 11 - 12 Kn down-current with headwind of 6 Bf and 10.5 Kn up-current at 2600 RPM. 

Main engine is Iveco 8210-SRM45-10,  6 cylinder 13,8 L 450 HP.

Aux engine is Iveco 8041-M09 4 cylinder 95 Hp  

The wake at the up-current speed of 10 Kn, just perfect. Her turning circle is 20 m diameter at full rudder at 8 Kn speed.

Emergency stop on the main engine from 8 Kn till 0 is not more then 20 meters, which is extremely good for this 35 ton lady. She tracks perfect, except when reversing the main engine at full throttle which causes her to break-out sideways (due to the auxiliary engine-prop) but once aware of this it’s very easy to compensate by using the rear-thruster.

The emergency / take home engine pulls out a speed of 5 Kn down-current and 4,2 Kn up current. Still very good and serves its purpose.

Not shown on the pictures but we had several large Rhine barges, overloaded as usual causing their usual wake of sometimes 1 m height but Sweet Sixteen is not bothered. No rolling, very little pitching and we all (6 persons) stood and staid without support on the flybridge.

CUSTOM EURO 1600 -
Passenger or Crew Boat version

 

June 2004 Hi Bruce, The build out of my Euro 16 is coming along.  Progress has been a bit slow because of my work schedule.  I expect the boat will be launched sometime in 2005.  I am enjoying the building process and don't want to finish the job too fast.  Hal in your Annapolis office has been very helpful.  The prints he sent along showing the engine room and other parts of the boat have really helped. I'll send along some pictures.  I promise.
