Built by G Smyth Boats in Kilkeel, new ring netter Inter-Nos PZ-46 made its delivery trip home to Newlyn to dock in its home port before Christmas.
The Maxus Fast Cat has been designed and outfitted to fish for pilchards and is powered by a pair of Volvo Penta D8A5-A-MH main engines.
The deck is laid out with a Spencer Carter 3000lb slave hauler with a MV500 motor and a Thistle Lift crane with a telescopic extension.
The net hauler is a Triplex unit and there is an LS125-sc hose pump.
Inter-Nos has been completed to an exceptionally high standard, and the design was prepared incorporating the owners’ ideas for optimising efficiency and the use of space on board.
The new ring netter steamed home to Newlyn from Kilkeel in 30 hours, skippered by Will Treneer with crew James Lambourn, Treeve Perry and James Prowse. Inter-Nos was welcomed to Newlyn by owners Elizabeth and Sam Lambourn.
G Smyth Boats will be displaying a Maxus Fast Cat at the Scottish Skipper Expo in Aberdeen, 9-10th May 2024.
