Her
hull is based on the successful Deep V hull design of the rest of the
Interceptor range but has been developed into a unique twin reverse chine
design, offering significant seakeeping and performance advantages over
conventional craft. Her wide 13ft 10” beam makes her exceptionally stable with
a high GM and impressive GZ curve. Her deep, full length keel provides
directional stability as well as good attitude to the wind in drift. It also
provides protection to the stern gear and allows for a
large diameter propeller to be turned in big single engine installations
for maximum economy, very important with today’s rising fuel costs. Her deep V
sections forward ensure that she can maintain speed into steep head seas without
slamming and her large freeboard means her decks always stay dry. She has been
fitted out to a very high standard for a commercial vessel, with a large
luxurious main cabin with seating for 10 persons as well as a comprehensive
galley and cooking facilities. Her fore cabin has a large double berth as well
as a large shower / heads compartment.
So
as to take advantage of the newly developing Deep sea Big game fishing charter
market that is developing in the area, she has a fly bridge, giving the
panoramic visibility that this type of fishing requires.
She
is powered by a pair of Caterpillar 3126 engines rated at 300hp each and allow
for her to achieve a maximum speed of 24kts and a fast cruising speed of
18-19kts on a lightship displacment of 10,000kg.
