This latest series of vessels embodies many changes and im- provements arising from operat- ing experience with the fishing boat Tradewind, which was deliv- ered to Tradewind Fishing in 1978. The Westport has an over- all length of 98 feet, beam of 25 feet, and depth of 14 feet.

The new vessel is powered by a Caterpillar D399 diesel engine with an output of 1,125 bhp at 1,225 rpm, driving a Columbian

Bronze 4-blade, 70- by 75-inch pro- peller in a Kort nozzle through a Caterpillar clutch and a Cat 7261 reduction gear having a ra- tio of 3.84:1. Service speed is 11.5 knots; engine controls are Math- ers model AD12.

Cutless rubber stern bearings were supplied by Lucian Moffitt; main shaft bearings are Dodge

Sleevoil. The main engine is cooled by Fernstrum keel coolers. Two auxiliary engines are Caterpillar model D3304T.

Deck equipment includes two

Hathaway model 12 AITHS hy- draulic trawl winches and a 16- inch Hathaway trawl block. Hy- draulically positioned gallows are moved outboard into fishing po- sition by hydraulic rams. When in this position, fishing loads are carried by the structure of the vessel.

Central air-conditioning by

Therman serves the wheelhouse and main and lower deck accom- modations. The shucking house aft has Carrier air-conditioning and heating. The 15-person in- flatable liferaft was supplied by
