Strong as a Tank

Tank Girl was solidly built of Aluminium by 'meta' in france. she is incredibly strong with a hull thickness of 10 mm. (As a rough guide most alloy boats of this size would be around 5mm) she is 36feet in length and has a beam of 12 feet. there is comfortable accomodation for 7 people, though I rarely take that many onboard unless they are all friends. She has a cutter rig, with a slab reefed main and furling headsail. onboard is all the equipment required to cruise in comfort and safety, including E.P.I.R.B., (406 and 121.5) ssb, gpsx3, vhf, auto pilot, wind vane, solar panels, wind generator, computer, 15hp dinghy, stereo (2x amps and a 12inch sub!), etc.
she carries 600 liters of water, and 300 hundred liters of fuel.
she has a center board with a minimum draft of 800mm. it is amazing the places it is possible to get into.
