V Warp® Technology

V-WARP^® TECHNOLOGY

All Palm Beach Motor Yacht models in the Classic and GT series are built with our proprietary V-WARP^® TECHNOLOGY, a design and construction philosophy born out of Mark Richards’ experience as an ocean-racing champion and shipwright. This game-changing technology is a combination of an innovative hull form, superior construction materials, and a highly precise build process. The V-WARP^® TECHNOLOGY hull is built and infused with a perfect resin-to-E-Glass unidirectional and multi-axial fiber ratio, resulting in a strong, fast, and efficient hull form. The hull is then fused directly to the carbon fiber structure, bulkheads, deck, and superstructure of the vessel. This contributes to enhancing the overall performance of the yacht.

PERFORMANCE REDEFINED

The V-WARP^® TECHNOLOGY hull by Palm Beach Motor Yachts is a groundbreaking innovation in boat design that maximizes efficiency and prioritizes performance. With features like a fine entry, a graceful curvature amidships, and minimal deadrise at the transom, this hull design eliminates drag while enhancing buoyancy, stability, and lift. Unlike traditional planing hulls that require excessive energy and trim adjustments to achieve optimal running angles, the V-WARP^® TECHNOLOGY hull maintains a consistent five-degree running angle across different speeds. This design, curated by Mark Richards, emphasizes weight distribution and a clean running surface for a winning combination of speed and efficiency. Palm Beach Motor Yachts' V-WARP^® TECHNOLOGY hull sets a new standard in the industry by offering boaters a smoother, more efficient ride that requires minimal energy and effort to reach planing speeds.

FUEL-EFFICIENT INNOVATION

The warped, semi-displacement hull form reduces drag while adding a combination of buoyancy, stability, and lift that enables the boat to reach planing speed with minimal energy and effort. Our extensive use of carbon fiber dramatically reduces weight while retaining exceptional strength. At the same time, the construction techniques we use ensure extreme rigidity. This combination enables V-WARP^® Technology to deliver class-leading speed and performance, using less than half the fuel of most similar-sized boats.

THE POWER OF THREE

V-WARP^® Technology

The remarkable advantages of V-WARP^® TECHNOLOGY stem from what we term ‘the Power of Three’—the synergy of three design theories merged into a single manufacturing process. These encompass:

HULL FORM

Enhancing hydrodynamics and performance through advanced underwater geometry.

EXOTIC MATERIALS

Utilizing high-grade e-glass, epoxy resins, and carbon fiber to reduce weight and increase vessel strength and resilience.

BUILD PHILOSOPHY

Merging reciprocal engineering with weight redistribution to optimize rigidity and balance.

The Palm Beach Motor Yachts Guarantee

SAFETY

Palm Beach Motor Yachts prioritizes safety with bespoke construction techniques and high-quality materials for strength, rigidity, and low center of gravity. Features include watertight and shock-resistant bulkheads, failsafe mechanical systems, and secure handholds, ensuring safe movement even in rough conditions.

RELIABILITY

Our yachts are designed for reliability with failsafe mechanical systems that outlast electronic counterparts. Essential components like valves, shut-offs, and battery overrides are simple yet robust, minimizing potential malfunctions and ensuring dependable performance in all maritime conditions.

WHAT OWNERS SAY ABOUT PALM BEACH MOTOR YACHTS

“I was very impressed with the first boat I bought, a PB50. It was a great boat but more-so, it was Mark’s commitment to quality... getting things right. He is a perfectionist. His whole approach to building a boat… we both come from sailing backgrounds - he likes to build them light and fast and strong. His attitude is ’Near enough is not good enough!’”

STEPHEN AINSWORTH, PB65 “TRIPLE TREAT”

“My relationship with Palm Beach has been excellent since first meeting. My PB45 has classic good looks and is a “head turner” in every harbor, but more importantly it has excellent build quality and all onboard systems, including power and electronics, work flawlessly. And the performance, ride, and handling of my PB45 in any seaway are second to none. There’s always been full access to the entire Palm Beach team, including the president, Mark Richards. Buying my PB45, Le Reve, is one of the better decisions I’ve made in my life.”

DAVE SPALDING, PALM BEACH 45, “LE REVE”

“They’re big, fast, with superior sea handling. I’ve been in 7m (23’) swells behind us with a 2m (7’) chop on top, and on the beam coming from the left-hand side was about a 100 Km/h (54 knots) wind. And not once did any of the waves break over the bow...the bow always came up, which is testimony to how light and strong the boat is. It’s just an incredible sea-handling boat!”

ANDY GREIG, PB65 “RENA G”

“Our experience from the outset of introduction to the team, all the way through the sales process, delivery, and now follow up service has been extraordinary. We have built and owned many yachts, and the response that we have received from Grand Banks/Palm Beach has been truly exceptional. Every detail is addressed, which very obviously filters all the way through the organization. A true first class operation.”

BRIAN DARNELL, PB52, “SOUTHERN DRAW”

“It was love at first sight when we first saw a PB45 at a Florida boat show. Now a few years on, our PB45 BlackSwan looks brand-new, performs flawlessly and easily handles even the heaviest seas. Of course it is still a head turner. The ownership experience has been outstanding with the people of Palm Beach Yachts going the extra mile to ensure it remains so.”

DAVID CLARKE, PALM BEACH 45, “BLACKSWAN”
