Red Jet Hi-Speed catamarans deployed in the UK on its cross-Solent ferry
route between Southampton & West Cowes on the Isle of Wight. They
are all powered by high-speed MTU diesel engines with waterjet
propulsion. The vessels speed, manouverability, stopping power and low
wash characteristics are all key design attributes for the route.
The arrival point of the Red Jet Hi-Speed
foot passenger service from Southampton; West Cowes is a favourite with
everyone from families and couples to visiting yachtsmen from across the
world, with Cowes Week being one of the most famous regatta's of the sailing world.
Cowes is located on the west bank of the River Medina, with the smaller town of East Cowes on the east Bank. The two towns are linked by a 'floating bridge, which is currently (Nov 2010) free for foot passengers and cyclists. A charge needs to be paid onboard for all vehicles and varies according to vehicle type.
The pedestrianised high street runs perpendicular to the Solent and the river Medina. The high street has a full range of shops and cafes/pubs/restaurants, with a weighting towards those with a nautical interest. There is everything from famous street brands to specialist chandleries, as well as some more quirky shops and galleries.
