The freeboard on the KHSD 65 catamaran ferry for Uganda does look a bit low. It is lower than my other 65 ferrys. One of the lessons that I learned from Amani, also a 65, was that it must travel in containers. Bluebird is lower as it escapes a full length set of horizontal scarphs by being lower. I’m always in favor of a faster build if it can be just as safe.
A pain to know what kind of conditions they get over there. I they get square waves or weird reflections like the Great Lakes, only blood gets the correct models.
