Fuel is carried in two tanks. Each engine can be run from either tank and a fuel transfer pump enables the smaller tank to be topped up from the larger.

Accomodation

************************************************************
This is what she looked like when fishing and under a different name.
She is now red in colour and has been used as a workboat and not a fishing boat.

Decking Equipment

This vessel has a general overall feeling of solid construction. The whole boat has been exceedingly well thought out and constructed. There is a second steering console mounted on the forward starboard side of the boat for use in close quarters.

A substantial main gantry on the afterdeck is supported by strengthened frames and fishroom bulkheads. A tubular mast of 89 x 5mm pipe is stepped above this gantry and stayed to the quarters and to the forward gantry. Three booms are slung from the mast. A 6m unloading pole (SWL 250kg), a 3m power block boom (SWL 1000kg) and a small boom. The main gantry also carries two A-Frame trawl gallows which fold into the gantry sides when not in use. A pursuing davit is mounted at the starboard rail amidships.
