Arafura-Class Yacht
Transstar Model Y37
design by Michael Bailey
The
Transstar Model Y37, or
Arafura-Class Yacht, is in service throughout the Solomani
Confederation and adjacent areas. Originally commisioned by the
Solomani Confederation as an executive level transport, the
design has also found favour with other local governments and
individuals. The design has been licensed to a number of smaller
manufacturers, who have produced a number of custom variations on
the Arafura design. Of particular note is the
Flipper-Class, which has been modified for use by Dolphin
crew and passengers.
Transstar licensed the design
to Fremantle Shipyards in 1092, and production began at
Fremantle's yards in the Deneb and Spinward Marches Sectors.
Following the Collapse, Fremantle is now the only builder of this
type. Called locally the Pelsaert, the Model Y37 has sold
in numbers, albiet less than the famous Lord
Baltimore-Class Yacht manufactured by Ling Standard
Products.
Transstar is a
wholly-controlled subsidiary of the Solomani Party. Fremantle
Shipyards is a subsidiary of the Fremantle Group.
Designer's Notes: Arafura-Class was named for the
Arafura Sea, a body of water separating Australia from Papua New
Guinea/Irian Jaya (Terra/Sol).
