The main conning position
is well laid out for ease of use
The boats are air conditioned for operating in the high
temperature of the north, and warmth in the colder latitudes
around the bottom of the Australian continent. A Caterpillar
C1.5 11kW Genset supplied by Gough Cats is installed down
aft in one hull to ensure that there is ample power for the air
conditioning, and to ease systems in the galley. The galley is
small, with an electric hob, microwave, fry pan or crock pot,
electric jug and toaster.

they have two helm stations; one facing forwards and the other
facing aft, with excellent all-round visibility for manoeuvring
and handling. Mounted up top are the two easy launch,
