Additional Information:

'Discovery' is a 13m purpose built catamaran specifically designed for diving and survey work and previously operating under MCA Cat. 2 (60 miles FSH). She is still in original ownership and was constructed to the owner's specific requirements by Roach Boat builders to a design developed by the Nelson designers, TT Boat Designs. Used extensively for diving and survey work associated with the ‘location and discovery' of wrecks and archaeological sites she has been meticulously maintained. An exceptional vessel with functionality a key attribute making best use of a large working area on fore and aft flush decks. 'Discovery' has only minimal engine hours at 2870 hrs the Ultrajet 340 units were recently upgraded to provide better performance. This vessel is easily comparable to the latest catamaran design initiatives.

Accommodation:
The large WHEELHOUSE / DECK SALOON is the central feature of this design, laid out with a central helm station with all instrumentation in a large console arrangement in close proximity to the helm chair. A crew seat is placed on starboard side and the panoramic view provides an excellent helm position. A large chart table is placed immediately to port of the helm station, with a large secondary chart table/survey desk behind the helm. On the port side aft of the wheelhouse is a large seating area with saloon table in an 'L' format returning to the aft central door exit to the after deck. A small GALLEY is located to starboard with stainless steel sink and H&C pressurised water. There is ample space for storage and the unit has a Flavel Vanessa gas cooker / oven. The sponsons on either side under the wheelhouse provide a total of four basic bunks at the lower level. The heads area is forward in the bow compartment with sea toilet (ITT Jabsco). The shower arrangement with H&C supply is aft of the wheelhouse.
The after deck area provides a massive working area for deploying survey or other equipment and easy access to the engine rooms and jet installations via large deck hatches. The raised gunwhales and rails provide safety right up to the foredeck. To starboard forward is situated a hauling derrick with adjacent 1.5 ton hydraulic capstan winch/hauler. Access to the flybridge-deck is by stainless ladder mounted on the starboard aft of the wheelhouse. Secondary steering and engine controls are on the flying bridge. A substantial gantry mast arrangement houses the antennae for fitted electronics. Newly built large GRP storage boxes/lockers utilise the spare space on the flying bridge.
At the stern the Ultra 340 jet units (new 2008) are protected by cleverly designed platforms serving as the divers’ entry to the vessel with a fold down ladder fitted to the port after platform. The hull form has small skegs at the stern with a moderate keel depth for increased directional stability.
