Gamefisherman, Inc. has
been building fine sportfishing
boats for 23 years under the
leadershipofMichaelT.Matlack,
formally President of Rybovich
Boat Works. Gamefisherman
boats are known for being the
boat of choice for fishing remote
areas like Central America,
Bermuda, The Azores, Madeira
and other exotic destinations.
Gamefisherman has supplied
the sport boats for a number
of mothership operations,
including "FRENCH LOOK", a
167' with a 40' Gamefisherman
on board, and a 42'
Gamefisherman for the 228'
"AUSSIE RULES" .
The Mothership
Now Gamefisherman is
building a mothership, the 130'
Gamefisherman Explorer, to
reach remote areas in search of
more fish and interesting places
to visit. The Gamefisherman
Explorer will be built to travel
anywhere, anytime. Unlike
converted commercial vessels,
the Gamefisherman Explorer
will be built for the purpose of
exploring and fishing and will
be yacht quality throughout.
The owner's suite is a private
level deck with owner's cabin,
large head, dressing room,
office, breakfast area and living
room. There are four (4) guest
cabins with ensuite heads,
crew cabins and lounge, gym
with sauna, laundry and more.
The Sport Boat
Key to remote area fishing
is a proper sport boat. The
Gamefisherman 46 is large
enough to fish comfortably
and be a water taxi when the
Explorer is anchored, yet
small enough to be loaded on
board with Gamefisherman's
proprietary docking system.
The sport boat is supported
with fuel, water, and ice from
the Explorer.

HALYARD brings silent speed
to Norwegian waters
Halyard Marine Ltd, a leader in
the design and manufacture of
marine engine exhaust silencing
solutions, is helping to achieve
low noise levels on Tideekspress
� a 33m passenger catamaran,
built by Norwegian firm, Oma
Baatbyggeri.
Oma Baatbyggeri is based on
the West Coast of Norway and
has used Halyard's exhaust
systems on several of its vessels.
The company specialises in the
building of high speed aluminium
catamarans, and Tideekspress is
no exception. Standing at 33m,
with the capacity to transport
up to 300 passengers, she has
been designed using four 810kW
engines and can travel at a speed
of 38 knots.
As with any passenger vessel,
comfort on board is paramount.
By installing Halyard's custom
designed exhaust systems
onto each of Tideekspress' four
engines, Oma Baatbyggeri has
been able to increase passenger
and crew contentment, by
significantly reducing engine
noise and internal reverberation
- renowned for causing sea
sickness and discomfort at sea.
Tideekspress has been fitted
with Halyard's 316 stainless steel
Siamese dry exhaust risers with
compensators. Each riser has a
stainless steel spray head. The
spray heads are connected to
dual chamber silencers, and the
silencers are then connected
to the hull outlet using silicone
bellows and clamps. The
complete wet part of the system
is 305mm in diameter.
Halyard is the only company in
the World able to manufacture
an entire exhaust solution from
"turbo to transom" in-house.
Service and support starts from
the initial designs through to
assistance during manufacture
and installation, right through to
final sea trials. Throughout any
project the company's integrated
3D CAD technology enables
fast and accurate document and
design exchange and delivery,
anywhere in the world, to ensure
the project is fully documented
and recorded.
Johannes Nesse from Oma
says, "We decided on Halyard
for the exhaust, because the
company has a great reputation,
and we know from our previous
experience just how good and
reliable its range of products is.
We have obtained exceptionally
low levels of noise both onboard
and to the vessel's surroundings
with this system"
James Grazebrook, Managing
Director at Halyard says, "We are
delighted that Oma Baatbyggeri
continues to choose Halyard's
exhaust systems for its vessels.
We pride ourselves on the
efficiency and reliability of our
products, so it is great to see that
we have been chosen for these
qualities."
