Main propulsion power is sup- plied by two GM Detroit Diesel

Allison 16V-92 engines with a total output of 1,200 bhp at 1,800 rpm, giving a free-running speed of 11.3 knots. At cruising speed the boat has a range of 4,000 miles, and she can operate for up to 20 days at sea without re- supplying when on low-fuel op- eration, such as maintaining a station-holding pattern. Fuel Ca- pacity is 13,000 gallons, and her 550-gallon water tanks can be re- plenished by a 150-gpd Maxim evaporator.

The Jekyll Isle is fitted with fuel-saving Kort nozzles, and she has a bollard pull of 17V2 tons.

The vessel has both U. S. Coast

Guard and American Bureau of

Shipping certification for Unre- stricted Ocean Service, and meets

USCG stability standards for towing, passenger service, and over-the-side crane lifts with up to 24-foot outreach.

Two Detroit Diesel 3-71 diesel generators supply 30 kw each.

The electrical system is designed for non-parallel operation. Two banks of 12-volt dc batteries pow- er electronics, emergency light- ing, and auxiliary engine start- ing. Main engine starting and certain specialized electronics are powered by a 24-volt dc system.

Deck gear includes three winch- es, a knuckle-boom crane, 25-ton, pneumatic-release towing hook, and a 6-ton hydraulic A-frame.

The latter lowers to the deck while the vessel is in the towing mode. An aft steering station — with controls for the A-frame, main winch, knuckle-boom crane, and hydro-winch—and a 600-watt searchlight for aft maneuvering are located on a walkway behind the pilothouse.

The vessel's electronics include a Wagner autopilot, Raytheon 1025 radar, a smaller Raytheon backup radar, Simrad EQ depth recorder with MC expander sys- tem, and Wesmar scanning sonar and Towfish sonar. Loran is a

Raytheon 600 with navigational computer including latitude and (continued on page 18)
