Deckhouse aft view
The insulated bait well Main engines and machinery space
There is a small helm with a very tight and short lock common to waterjet propulsion. The blueArrow control system is to the right and the throttles and bucket controls are to the side for easy operation when looking aft and working pots. Opposite to port is a small galley, with a low-watt microwave and an electric jug to heat smoko and lunches, powered off an inverter giving 240 volts. Up for'ard in the foc's'le are two berths in a standard V-berth configuration for the crew. A third berth also doubles as the main settee across the rear bulkhead of the saloon. Access to the foc's'le is somewhat impeded by a 300mm sill at the top of a short companionway, in keeping with survey requirements for coastal waters. The interior is finished in serviceable paint and panels, with soft linings. The windows are all toughened glass set in SeaMac alloy frames to meet coastal requirements, rather that the Sikaflex adhesion systems that are becoming popular on inshore vessels.

Specify Seaworth air-water separators
Seaworth Defence weather grills protect the main ventilation inlets and outlets to the machinery space, which is aft of the bait well with full sound insulation under the deck and on the hull and bulkheads to reduce noise. The Mystique II's twin Yanmar 6CXM-GTE2 diesels produce 357kW at 2900rpm and are coupled to the twin HamiltonJet HJ322 blueArrow units. This propulsion system enables her to cruise at 24 knots with a five tonne deadweight and reach a maximum speed of 30 knots.
Up on her top deck, accessed by a small ladder on the port side, is the radar arch and aerial farm. The life rings and liferaft are also stowed up top and are protected by a short, raised screen extending from the eyebrow above the reverse sheer front screen.
This raised screen has been formed to aesthetically soften the harshness of the commercial look of the reverse sheer. We found the Mystique II to be a smart-looking workboat set up for crayfishing. With her seakeeping ability and turn of speed, we believe she is well suited to work the often unpredictably harsh conditions often found on the Kaikoura coast.
