Brisbane-based Woody Marine Fabrications has launched its latest '12m Patrol Vessel'-series craft in November for the Western Australian state government's Fisheries Department. Drawing experience from previous rescue and crew transfer vessels delivered in 2011, Woody's designer/builder Stephen Plummer believes this vessel "has the hallmarks of being something great". The vessel measures 12.0 metres in length, with a beam of 4.2 metres and a shallow draught of 0.68 metres. Two Yamaha outboard motorspower the vessel, each rated for 260kW and providing a range of cruising and pursuit options. On sea trials a top speed of 42.5 knots was achieved with half fuel.
