FISHING GEAR

The fishing deck area is midships with the longline reel situated on the port side and fed directly from the fairlead on the starboard side. The deck space is huge. Main engine, steering, compass and line hauler controls are all situated at a fishing control station on the fishing deck. “This allows complete control of the vessel and fishing operations right where the action happens”.

Shooting is carried out over the stern of the boat, where again, there is a set of engine controls. Satellite beacons , manufactured by Commercial Catamarans, are stored in racks aft on the top deck ready to be deployed during shooting. With the huge back deck, on the main level and the upper deck, the opportunities to set the vessel up for multi fishery purposes are endless.

Winches, net reels, line haulers,booms, gantries, stern ramps, fish pounds, sorting tables, power blocks, and processing areas are all able to be simply and cheaply designed, built and accommodated within the current structure of the vessel.
