DERECKTOR 16m High Speed Pilot Vessel


A Safe, Reliable Boat with Superior Ride Comfort

Great safety features and a very smooth ride in an extremely robust construction are the main character-
istics for this Derecktor boat, built to a design by Camarc Small Craft Designs.

The new fendering system, which ensures great durability together with very high impact resistance, pro-
vides a greater surface for the impact zone and has no thru-hull fastenings. Other safety features on this
boat include: heated decks and handrails, forward raked windows on bridge for maximum visibility of deck
area and of boarding pilots, and port and starboard side doors for direct exit of pilots from the shelter of
the deckhouse to the ship's boarding ladder. The boat is also fitted with a hydraulic platform -- built into
the stern -- that allows retrieval of a person overboard.

The structural design is


based on Lloyds Register of
Shipping Special Service
Craft Rules, and American
Boat and Yacht Council Rules
(ABYC) is used for all the
onboard systems. The hull
design is an advanced dou-
ble chine hull, with full skeg
on the propellers, developed
in conjunction with U.K. tow-
ing tank facilities since 1983.

This basic hull design has


been used on a number of
vessels, including 52' and
60' aluminum and steel Pilot
vessels. Derecktor uses
scantlings well in excess of
the rule requirements in
order to obtain maximum
hull strength and to exceed
its minimum designed serv-
ice life of 15 years.

Derecktor has established itself as a leading manufacturer of high-speed craft in North


America. Among the significant factors that have contributed to the success of the
Derecktor built vessels are the very high standards of aluminum fabrication and machinery
installation as well as the weight conscious approach to vessel construction.
