| This little hard chine steel vessel was commissioned to be an inexpensive and robust workboat for fishing in open water. She is also suited to harbour service work, short-haul cargo, inter-island ferry and similar duties. The pilothouse includes a small galley, seat and upper and lower berths aside from the steering position. Below decks she has an insulated hold of 4cu.m capacity accessed through the deck hatch. The engine space is located below the pilothouse and accessed through removable panels in the pilothouse sole. Forward is a baitbox or general storage box for warps etc. Alternatives are also possible with the pilothouse moved to midship or aft positions. |

Construction of the hull and deck is of steel, using longitudinal stringers over transverse frames. The pilothouse and the hatchcovers to the hold are of aluminium to reduce the displacement and lower the CG. For protected water use they can be built of steel at reduced cost. This is not recommended if the pilothouse is in the forward position because the additional weight forward will make her trim by the bow. Powering can be to the owners' requirements to suit the intended use of the particular boat. The minimum recommended is 25hp and the maximum 80hp. Tankage can be adjusted to suit the owner's needs.
