Delivered by Fred Wahl Marine of Reedsport Oregon this past summer the Afognak Straits is currently in Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Typical of the beefy design by Fred Wahl Marine, the 58- foot boat has a 26-foot beam with a 13-foot depth. Prompted by the regulated 58-foot Alaskan limit the beamy boat provides a big stable work platform for the crew. The Afognak Straits has comfortable accommodations for a crew of six. For extended voyages she carries 9,450 gallons of fuel and 1,735 gallons of potable water. There is also a 338-gallon lube oil tank. Propulsion power comes from a Cummins QSK19-M main engine generating 600 hp at 1800 RPM. The main turns into a ZF2450 gear with a 5.5:1 ratio. The gear turns a 5-inch diameter shaft and a four-blade bronze propeller. Two auxiliaries provide 175kW and 55 kW of electrical power. On deck there is a 26-foot Knuckle crane. The two Þ shholds are 2210 cubic feet and 1120 cubic feet. To Þ ll those big holds the Afognak Strait is Þ tted with a Mustad AutoBaiter longline system. The system has been used for halibut and black cod over the summer. In September, OÕLeary was in Dutch to change over to cod pot Þ shing.
