BOAT SPECIFICATION

Wreck Hunter is a new custom built Wildcat 107 Catamaran from Safehaven Marine, Cobh \. She has twin 370Hp Yanmar Diesels (up to 27.5 knots max!), a huge amount of rail and deck space, and a wide band of economic hull speeds. She has superb Seakeeping qualities, as the Cat hull form gives impressive stability, deck space, and speed, with no slamming, and very little spray, even at speed, due to the symmetric twin hull design. Angling on the Drift, and at Anchor, you will not believe how comfortable the boat is to fish from.

The boat was designed for comfortable Sea angling and has a Galley with Gas hob, Microwave, Fridge, Freezer, and hot and cold running water. Ample Tea and Coffee are always available. In the Cabin, there is a 17” TV with DVD, and the Aft Deck Colour Video camera captures all the action astern (a DVD of trip will be available, on request) .

The Toilet / Shower facilities are accessed directly from after deck, for convenience. Long side curtains can be slid out over the after deck, to protect the angler from the variable Irish weather. There is more than 8 feet of space at the rails for each of the 12 anglers.

Angling photo’s can be taken with a Fuji S7000 digital camera, printed and laminated on board, or put on a CD for later selection and printing, on request.

There is a very comprehensive electronics and equipment fit, including :

Navigation and Fishfinding : 15” Simrad EQ60 twin frequency (38 / 200 KHz) precision Colour sounder, 15” Simrad CM60 Plotter with OLEX 3D seabed mapping, 10” Simrad 36 mile semi 3D Radar with MARPA, Simrad AP35 Autopilot, ‘Trimble’ 300D Differential GPS(+- 0.5 meter accuracy) Simrad IS15 DIGITAL wind instrument.
