The last few months have been a particularly busy time for Probond Marine Ltd. After recently completing new moulds the first of the CARSON INTERCEPTOR 950 Class is now being fitted out. Designed by Barry Carson and developed from previous designs supplied to many special forces and other professionals over three decades, all the familiar Carson design features are here and further developed to provide even more performance and seakeeping abilities.
The Interceptor's distinctive 24 degree deep V hull with gull winged chines, multiple steps and semi wave-piercing bow can be seen in the attached photos. Various collars are offered with this first hull to get a D section collar mechanically attached to the outside of the raised topsides as per the 3D image here and posted previously. Conventional collars are also an option as well as foam filled and a choice of welded PU or glued hypalon fabrics. 850 and 750 (8.5 and 7.5m) models are soon to be available. At the time of writing this hull has already been framed out with full depth deck to hull bulkheads, longitudinals and frames. With an easier motion and drier ride than other similar sized craft coupled with potential for very high speeds and cruising range of approx. 1,000 miles this design provides many advantages for a wide variety of operations.
We will post more photos as we progress the build
