Hatteras Resources |
 |
From the moment you fire up the engines and cut through your first wave, the Hatteras Advantage is apparent.
As our naval architects and engineers know, deep V-design hulls have a tendency to roll and incur high hull resistance. Flat-bottom hulls offer less resistance but pound in normal sea conditions. Thus, Hatteras has developed a series of convex and modified-V hulls that provide the best of both designs. These hulls deliver a sharp entry and a soft, stable ride – the renowned “Hatteras ride.” Further, most Hatteras hulls feature a double chine with hull side “step-outs” to help reduce spray while increasing the beam above the waterline. The benefits – a dryer ride and more interior space.
Hatteras also uses in-house designed 6- and 7-bladed nibral propellers custom built to our specifications. These propellers are dynamically balanced to effectively match the boat’s weight, speed, horsepower and reduction gear. Using large blade area ratios, the propeller’s load is distributed over a greater prop area. This reduces cavitation, vibration and noise and, at the same time, improves fuel economy and performance.
Using advanced propulsion theories, Hatteras has also incorporated propeller tunnels into the hull bottom design. Tunnels allow the shaft angle to be reduced, which aids in the boat’s efficiency. This reduces the overall draft and allows the use of larger propellers to achieve the performance benefits above.
Construction Integrity
Hatteras built its reputation on bulletproof construction techniques, and its hull bottoms remain as rugged as ever today. All Hatteras hull bottoms are solid fiberglass, and you won't find any absorbent balsa core anywhere aboard a Hatteras. We use PVC non-absorbent foam core in the hull sides and superstructure to deliver a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Mechanical Systems
Our master craftsmen, designers and engineers utilize only the highest grade materials and quality parts to assure that all mechanical components work reliably and in harmony. We go to great lengths to not only design and engineer systems that exceed industry standards, but also assure your safety and ease of operation every nautical mile.
Electrical Systems
When considering safety and reliability on the open seas, it’s one thing to meet electrical standards. At Hatteras, we believe it is far greater to exceed them. That’s why we surpass requirements of NMMA Standards, ABYC Standards and the National Electrical Code.
Paint and Exterior Finish
Boats are meant to be on the water, not in dry dock awaiting exterior maintenance. Only Hatteras paints every exterior fiberglass surface above and below the waterline. Our process provides a hard outer surface with a beautiful high sheen and a longer lasting hull finish. The benefits -- less waxing, increased UV resistance and less exterior maintenance.
Classic elegance and luxurious amenities are only achieved through superior talent and true attention to detail. That's what Hatteras offers – a higher level of boatbuilding.
