Damen AluCat 1350 "Jacky" Built By Damen Shipyards In 15 Weeks i » The Damen AluCat 1350 "Jacky". Damen Shipyards of Gorinchem, Netherlands built the "Jacky," a vessel from the Damen AluCat 1350 series, in 15 weeks for her owner, Dredging Company Boskalis B.V. at Papendrecht in Hol- land, who will use her for hydrographic survey operations. Jacky is 45 feet long with a beam of 15 feet and a 3-foot draft. The all aluminum vessel can achieve speeds above 20 knots. The high speed enables the vessel to maneuver quickly in heavy traffic areas. The Atlas Deso echosounder fitted on board during trials functioned properly at both high and low speeds. The wheelhouse provides a clear view of both the survey desk and the helmsman position. The cargo well in the forward part of the vessel is made for carrying light equipment and for boarding of personnel. Platforms are placed on the top deck with foldable gratings for boarding high freeboard vessels.

The Detroit Diesel powered, 27-knot boat was delivered to Kenai Coastal Tours in April 1993. "I want to thank designer Jack Sarin and Randy and Rick Rust, who run Westport, for their responsiveness in incorporating the things we wanted into the vessel," said Captain Ed- ward Ward of Kenai Coastal Tours. "Among improvements to a basic Westport vessel we wanted were more length, wider wheelhouse, and particularly a good turn of speed. The Detroit Diesel engines give us 27 knots and that means that we can take our passengers on a conducted tour of the Kenai Fjords in 5-1/2 hours as opposed to the usual eight hours." 100 The vessel's propulsion system employs two Detroit Diesel 16V92TA engines that develop 1,300 hp at 2,300 rpm. Engines drive 42X43, four- blade, Nibral propellers through DDC 332V 2.38:1 ratio reduction gears. Westport built the 16-inch wet exhaust and silencer system. Controls involve MMC Micro Commander elec- tronic propulsion systems and a Jastrum hydrau- lic steering system. Westport supplied its own foil-type, cast urethane rudders. A fairly exten- sive electrical system involves a 24-volt alterna- tor on one engine and a 12-volt on the other; M- 439D 36 kW Northern Lights generator; and M- 843 12-kW Northern Lights generator. The elec- tronics suite supplied by Northern Electronics encompasses Furuno 7040 radar, GP-70 GPS, LC90 MKII loran, and FCV-561/200 sounder; Stephens SEA-UHF Standard Infinity VHF; Com- Nav 2001 autopilot; Aiphone four-station inter- com; and ACR EPIRB and searchlight. Jack Sarin, Bainbridge Island, Wash., designed the The Kenai Explorer II tour boat. vessel based on an Airex PVC core fiberglass hull from a Monk-designed expandable mold.

The tug is powered by a pair of Detroit Diesel marine diesel engines driving a Z-drive rudder/ propeller, Niigata Model ZP-2A, through a reduc- tion gear and torsional coupling. The propulsion system was supplied by IMPEG of Vancouver, which represents Niigata Engineering Company Ltd. in Western Canada and the U.S. Northwest.
