Custom Works is excited to introduce Damien Smith Design award-winning Z-Bow Catamarans to the Northern Territory.

These catamarans are the result of over a decade of development featuring advanced hydrodynamics and construction system. Ideal for vessels over 8m where sea keeping, maximum deck area and efficient operation is required.

The all-round ability of this design is well suited to cover the operational space between inland, sheltered, and open waters enabling suitability for all survey classes. These cat designs have numerous applications for the top end with tourism vessels, high-speed landing craft and work boats now in service

The Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation needed a new vessel for the Djelk Sea Rangers to patrol and manage the sea country around Maningrida. With over 150km of coastline to patrol the 8.6m Catamaran Landing craft is the ideal platform for the range of work they will undertake. The ability to transport their side-by-side buggy across water will be a great advantage of this new vessel.
