Macduff Shipyards Limited has recently completed a new design scallop trawler in the under 15m class.
The new vessel Crystal Dawn CN20 has been built to the order of Islay Crab Exports Limited, headed by James Monaghan, and the design was developed in close co-operation with Macduff Ship Design Limited who produced the steel kit drawings and stability data.
The hull form is double chine with a box keel for ballast, and also features a bulbous bow.
The steel kit was cut in house by Macduff Profilers from cutting information supplied by Macduff Ship Design Limited, and the hull was fabricated in Macduff and fully fitted out under cover.
The steel galley messroom is accommodated across the transom of the vessel, with a short deckhouse forming the entrance, toilet and shower room and engine room companionway and escape.
The aluminium alloy wheelhouse is arranged over the deckhouse.
A steel whaleback is arranged forward, with a central shelter strip extending from whaleback to deckhouse.
The main engine is a Caterpillar 3406C rated 250HP at 1800RPM with a Reintjes WAF374 with 7.476:1 reduction ratio, driving in 1800mm diameter four blade propeller in a Rice thrust nozzle.
The deck machinery package includes: Two Macduff split trawl winches; two Gilson winches; two pull down winches; a landing winch; two conveyors; and two hydraulic tipping doors.
The Gilson arrangement amidships can handle eight dredges per side, and control is arranged from with the wheelhouse.
The fishroom is fully lined and insulated with pumped foam by Bruce Davidson, who also carried out the painting on the vessel. The fishroom chilling system was provided by Premier Refrigeration Limited.
