Product informations
This new long-distance boat, the BREMEN 9, was commissioned in December 1992 by the Marine Police of the Free Hanseatic town of Bremen. It is a new, innovative design whose general shape and layout mark it out from the usual run of German official vessels. The boat which was drawn up using the latest knowledge of high-speed boat design, is based on the concept of "Deep-Vee" planing boats which are used for off-shoreracing. On its very first run the boat achieved a speed of over 30 knots, easily exceeding the design brief of 27 kn. The hull lines indicate a maximum speed potential of over 45 kn. The BREMEN 9's unusual size makes it suitable as a long-distance vessel in the harsh environment of the waters around sea coasts as well as in the shipping lanes, usually known as the inland waters. The boat's forecastle mounts a fire-fighting cannon capable of firing 400 litres of water per minute.
Our semi-scale model of the BREMEN 9 WSP long-distance boat was drawn up to a scale of
1:20 from drawings provided by the manufacturer F. Fassmer & Co. of Berne. Like the original vessel it possesses very attractive running characteristics and can achieve an impressive top speed and a running time of around 15 minutes. The comprehensive detail fittings will please the more demanding boat modeller, and give the model a realistic scale appearance. In addition to thetwo basic functions of rudder and speed control of the two drive motors, the model is designed to be fitted with a working water cannon working lighting system and the new TOP-SOUND 1 module »police boat« (No. 2460) which combine to make the model even more attractive and varied.
The TOP-SOUND 1 module »police boat« in particular, with its four scale-type operating sounds effectively underlines the model's character.
A large number of high-quality
ready-made components make for
quick and easy building. Hull, stern
cradle, cabin superstructure and
other parts are supplied as vacuum-
mouldings in high-strength ABS
plastic. The cabin superstructure is
trimmed on CNC machines: all
windows and other openings are
machine-cut. The plywood deck and
other wooden components are
accurately die-stamped to size. The
extensive fittings set contains injec-
tion-moulded parts for the working
fire monitor, working lighting system,
anchor, bollards, lifebelts, fenders,
railing stanchions and other fittings
all of which shorten the building time
considerably.
