NZ Work Boat Review

The small open deck house 'Fit and Forget' LED technology for commercial vessels. Proven worldwide in the most demanding conditions. Power saving, ultra durable and ultra safe. built to take the intended use and potential abuse into consideration. This included the two tonne tie down points around the load deck and the beltings and cleats on the bulwarks. The hull is essentially in five voids including the portofino stern platform which incorporates the twin outboard brackets as part of the landing platform. This is a full extension of the hull structure adding buoyancy aft for the motor's weight. The main hull has added depth to give safety margins for the expected loads and might we suggest, the occasional overloading as tends to happen when carting freight in the Pacific. The hull voids have been fully sealed and tested and all have separate drain points recessed in small alcoves along the starboard side. The conning position is simple and practical with a large sun awning to give protection from the tropical sun and storm clouds. The helm station is raised to allow for height to see over the loaded deck and to keep the crew's feet dry from any water that may accumulate on the deck from cloud-bursts, or any occasional spray from the bow ramp. Mike reports that when loaded correctly this barge is a very dry sea boat and is excellent at sea. The 350mm raised passenger platform also enables the flat carriage of long poles or timber up to 8.5m in length adding to the versatility of the vessel. There is a comfortable helm seat for the skipper and a drop down bench seat for the crew. V VIP.S85 In Fiji and fully commissioned
