While this is not a particularly current topic, the attached link provides an interesting reference and photos to this class of vessel. Enjoy. LA

Thanks for the link, I notice that it comes with fixed trim tabs, wonder if it is a fix based on computer modelling of the hull form to prevent her from digging a hole at high speed, downside is it will make her a bit erratic when backing.

So can anyone tell us if all 8 of these vessels have been constructed now?  I have not heard anything about them for a while.  Are the YAGs still in service and if so for how much longer?

Two more to go, MOOSE and COUGAR. all the others have been trialled, accepted and have had SRIs.
Really fun boats, they lean into turns instead of away and if troll is not engaged you might just spill your coffee from a standing start !!
