The Ocean Sprint

Ocean Sprint (Sailing vessel)

Type: Heavily modified armored cruising yacht

Propulsion: Bermuda sailing rig, water jet propulsion system.

Crew size: Up to twelve people, but can be easily handled by one.

_

Locomotion:

Traditional Bermuda sailing rig designed to retract for rough weather or completely detach in an emergency. Special “Wing ballasts” are installed on the sides of the ship to prevent it from capsizing when traveling at high speeds.

Custom made propulsion system designed to pump air or water out the rear of the ship in order to push it forward. Could be considered to be a form of water or air jet.

Please note that the installed hydrofoil and wing ballast system is only used when traveling at high speed.

It was later upgraded to allow underwater travel in order to allow travel through more hostile areas. The open deck of the boat is completely sealed off while operated in this mode.

Power:

Ship’s power is provided by an array of systems designed specifically to collect and store energy… such as the ocean’s current, the wind as well as movements of the ship’s crew. It can also be recharged by hand in an emergency.

This is used for everything from providing energy for the propulsion system to lights, heat, and clean running water.

Defense system:

Exterior hull modified to imitate the properties of the surrounding water in order to provide better protection, deter large sea creatures, and generate a strong electrical charge to deter possible intruders.

Hidden pressure cannons were installed to help guide the ship through tight spaces or if necessary… propel heavy projectiles at attackers without needing to carry gunpowder on board.

The power harvesting system can be taken into overdrive in order to absorb energy from enemy attacks to boost other systems as well as form a dead zone-like barrier. Please note that this is only effective in extreme circumstances as it cannot store that much power for long periods of time.

An active camouflage system was also installed during the two year gap in order to make the small craft harder to spot while traveling from one island to another. There is also a power conserving static mode for docking use.

Rooms:

Made to carry and support a small four person crew comfortably for long ocean voyages. Twelve bedrooms, four bathrooms, a Kitchen with walk-in pantry and dining room, living room, and so on.

The contents of all rooms are designed with the knowledge that the craft could be moving at high speeds and on the rough seas. The shelves are built-in and lock their contents in place, chairs and tables are secured to the floor, plates, dishes and the like, etc.

The pilot’s cabin has the typical necessities such as maps, a compass, Global positioning system, an assortment of other instruments, a custom made communication system, as well as a rudimentary sonar and radar system as well as safe storage for spare items she might collect for the purpose of aiding navigation.
