Gladding-Hectrn Delivers

Boarding Boat For Portland

The new boarding boat is the second delivered to the

Portland, Maine Pilots Association by Gladding-Heam.

Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding Corporation has announced the delivery of a new 47-foot boarding boat to the Portland, Maine Pilots

Association. This is the second vessel com- pleted by the builders for this group and will serve as a standby boat to the Portland Pilot, delivered in 1969. The new craft was named

Director after the famous schooner of the same name, which was the port's original pilot boat.

Statistics on the new boat are 47 feet in length, a 13-foot 6-inch beam, displacement of 18.4 tons, with a fuel capacity of 800 gallons.

A speed of 15.8 knots was demonstrated dur- ing trials in Casco Bay. The hull is of welded steel construction using longitudinal framing system over web frames on 4-foot centers, and three watertight bulkheads provide four separate watertight compartments below decks.

The superstructure, of 3/16jinch alloy 5086 aluminum is riveted to a coaming bar of type 316 stainless steel.

A single 40-inch diameter Federal Equi- poise propeller is driven through a 3-inch diameter Armco 17-4PH stainless steel shaft by a Detroit Diesel 12V71 engine rated 480 hp at 2,300 rpm. The engine is cooled by a

Fernstrum Model D-1648 "Grid Cooler" re- cessed into the hull.

Surrounding the boat at deck edge is John- son rubber fendering using 6-inch D section at the areas of greatest impact and the DB- 101 type elsewhere.

Accommodations are provided below for a crew of two and comfortable settees in the deckhouse for transient pilots. Cold climate comfort is assured by automotive type hot water heaters operating off the main engine cooling system while under way and by ther- mostatically controlled electric heaters when dockside. A defroster system is arranged for the forward pilothouse heaters and a KIM "Hot Start" block heater installed to main- tain engine temperature when tied up.
