In 2010 we introduced a new 48ft (14.5m) model to fit between our current Interceptor 42 and 55.The 48 is an ideal sized pilot vessel, suitable for both larger and smaller ports, offering a high level of endurance and sea keeping abilities in all weather conditions and capable of accommodating up to 6 pilots in the main cabin and up to 8 utilizing the spacious f/wd accommodation area, and at the same time being economical to operate and competitively priced. The 48 pilot is a modern, sleek and graceful design incorporating all the refinements a modern pilot vessel should encompass. Powered by standard fit 500-550hp engines she has an operational speed of 24-25kts +. Based on the very successful 42 hull, but slightly wider in beam and 1.5m longer in length. To accept alternative fendering solutions she differs in having a larger 300mm flat gunwale face which will allow modern fendering alternatives such as OCEAN 3 favored and proven in hard use by the French pilots. Also the Hippo Marine solution utilizing a large but lightweight, medium density foam core with a rubberized skin. However the 48 is also be able to be produced with the universally popular traditional delta section and incorporate our well proven sacrificial fender solution.
