Nene (continued from page 37) of 8 feet. She is powered by a pair of

GM 12V71 diesels with a combined 800 horsepower, driving Coolidge 42-inch four-blade bronze propel- lers through Twin Disc marine gears. Auxiliary power is provided by two Nissan diesels coupled to 20- kw Lima generators. Hydraulic power comes from a MARCO Hy- draulic Pump Drive connected to the starboard main engine. The switchboard and electrical system were provided by Harris Electric, and the engine controls by Math- ers.

Deck machinery aboard the Nene consists of a 22-ton hydraulic winch built by Lentec of Canada.

Below her raised pilothouse, the

Nene boasts some very comfortable and thoughtfully laid-out accommo- dations, including a complete galley,
