Hello 'folkert'

These shots appear to be of two ex-Danish 'Brave' class. They are not of 'Ferocity' (Ferocity had a 'flying' wing type structure, built into the super structure just abaft a very small lattice mast) - Danish Braves are my guess - but someone may guess different.

Hi Ted and Folkert

Phil Simons identifies these two boats at Antwerp on the bmpt news section, scroll down below half way down the page;

http://www.bmpt.org.uk/News/news.htm

P513 Sohesten and P514 Sohunden.

Definately the same two, note bridge structure in the background.

Regtards,

Christian.

Tally Ho Folkert

P513 is/was called "Brave Seastallion", she was for sale in Dec 2005 for EUR400K at Jan Bultman Yachts brokerage (not to be found in Horse And Hounds classifieds). She still had her three Rolls Royce (jolly good show, what) turbines with 4250hp (whizzer, chocks away Ginger) each, good for 50 knots. Also two 230hp Detroit diesels for popping down the shops for the cucumber sandwiches.

Toodles,

Biggles.

Shame to see thm rotting at their moorings. Anyone know who owns them?

If they were here, I'm sure somebody would have planted a caravan on top and made them into houseboats in double quick time.

Wow a fifty knot floating caravan, that would be something else! Seriously though I agree with Don. Shame to see them rotting away. Any one got any idea of fuel comsumption and viability in private hands. I assume an even deeper pocket that for an MTB etc.

Hi All,

 

Been looking at the above myself, well, to run the Rolls Royce engines, a fortune let alone the maintanance, but they do have twin detroits so I guess they could be run a bit more economically? the Sweds run three petrol patrol boats featured a few years back in the BMPT mag, not sure if they get state support. Nice but....not being narrow minded I hope, but we should look in the first instance to British built vessels perhaps, though it would be great to have a collection of these craft ie the tank museum which is not just British vehicles or areoplane collections.

 

John
