MS San Marino The MS San Marino (Motor Ship San Marino) is a trawler 65 feet long and 65 tons of displacement, designed to effectuate long transoceanic voyages in cold and hot weathers, handled by one person Thoroughly tested in 14 years at sea, more than 33,000 miles navigated, rough seas and rivers in diverse temperatures. Trawler is a motor vessel derived from the fishing boats of the Northern Pacific - known to be one of the roughest seas around the globe - with violent storms, in winter and summer, with strong gales, caused by the different pressures of the cold water vs. the heat of the valleys. These Fishing vessels operate the coast of the Pacific, year round. MS San Marino, was conceived and constructed by Sergio Castello Branco, designed by David Napier (Florida, USA), chief designer for Bertram Yachts at the time. Built under the guidance of ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) and it's rigorous rules in all aspects of construction, receiving it's maximum classification "Lotus A1+ AMS", the first small brazilian vessel to receive it. It means that the MS San Marino can navigate any sea in the planet. The construction was overseen by Arthur Rhussi Jr. from ABS and his crew of naval engineers. The initial hull project was submitted to computer testing, was recalculated by ABS, , all hydrostatic curves were calculated by the Brazilian Navy and tested once more when finished by ABS. MS San Marino is the first trawler built in Brazil with autonomy and strength to effectuate long voyages in dangerous waters. MS San Marino has a range of 2,500 miles, important for navigating the Arctic Seas where the ports are scarce. The distance between Honolulu and San Francisco is 2,200 miles. Covering this passage, any part of the world can be reached, except for Eastern Island. San Marino is "self rightening", able to suffer inclinations of any angle, including capsizing, always returning to her original position. The vessel was designed to be a living habitat on waters and dry land. Using her "legs" we can winter on dry land, not inflicting any damage to the hull with the freezing waters, the "legs" are easily withdrawn when the aprox. 10 meters of tides from the defrosting of the Arctic rivers arrive.
