Unleashing Performance: The Phenom Advantage
Explore how Phenom Yachts' hull design revolutionizes performance with advanced features, ensuring superior speed, safety, and efficiency, while offering unmatched power and control.
Key Takeaways
-
•The Phenom NexStep® Hull combines a 65-degree average entry angle with a three-strake forward section set at 0 degrees to deliver bow lift and reduced slamming so the Phenom 37 rides like it is on rails.
-
•Race-inspired details like 45-degree chamfered strake edges, step side vents and a pocketed transducer keel flat cut drag and water adhesion, and every element was validated through extensive CFD simulation before production.
-
•Rigged with twin or triple engines and the Zipwake dynamic trim-control system, the Phenom 37 tops 70 mph and cruises near 40 mph at just over a mile per gallon.
At Phenom Yachts, performance isn't just a feature—it's a cornerstone of our design philosophy. Our groundbreaking Phenom NexStep® Hull represents a significant leap in marine engineering, setting new standards for speed, safety, and efficiency in center console boats.
The Evolution of the Stepped Hull
The Phenom NexStep® Hull draws from the rich heritage of legendary boats, integrating racing-inspired manufacturing techniques with cutting-edge CAD tools. This fusion results in a hull design that offers unparalleled performance without compromising on safety or amenities.
Innovative Design Features
Average Entry of 65 Degrees:
The hull's entry angle of 65 degrees allows it to cut through water with minimal bow steering, ensuring a smoother, more efficient ride.
3 Strakes Design:
The forward section features three strakes, providing the same lift as a traditional two-strake design but with reduced slamming and improved speed and handling. The strakes are set at 0 degrees, enhancing bow lift without causing pounding, giving the Phenom 37 the sensation of riding on rails.
Transducer Keel Flat:
A keel flat runs through the hull's center, housing the transducer in a pocketed area. This design eliminates drag, enhancing overall performance.
Advanced CFD Analysis:
Our design team utilized Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to perfect the hull's shape, running numerous simulations to identify and resolve performance issues. This rigorous process ensured the hull met our high standards before production.
Step Side Vents:
To optimize aeration of the steps, we've included shutter steps in front of the step radius, preventing water from wrapping around and entering behind the step.
45-Degree Chamfer Edges:
Inspired by race boat techniques, the strakes' edges are chamfered at 45 degrees, reducing water adhesion and drag, resulting in higher top-end speeds.
Power and Control
Twin and Triple Engine Setups:
The Phenom 37 is designed to accommodate twin or triple engine setups, achieving top speeds over 70 mph and cruising speeds around 40 mph with an efficiency of just over a mile per gallon.
Zipwake Dynamic Trim-Control System:
This advanced trim system enhances ride comfort, performance, and fuel efficiency, controlled via an intuitive single-button interface.
Phenom Yachts has redefined what it means to combine luxury with performance. Our NexStep® Hull design and the array of innovative features ensure that every journey is as thrilling as it is smooth. Experience the next evolution in performance center console design with Phenom Yachts.
