Overview

The Cygnus Halfish 24 is designed as a shallow draught, multi-purpose, costal fishing vessel and workboat to operate from tidal harbours and beaches with a crew of one or two and for all year round use in the very worse conditions. The design is traditional in nature and attractive in appearance. Hydraulic machinery can be installed to carry out a range of fishing operations such as creeling, long lining, gill netting and trawling. The light displacement and hull shape gives good fuel efficiency from low horsepower diesel engines. Traditional proven fishing boat design with attractively flared bows and sheer line. Well or self-draining deck options. GRP wheelhouses can be open or enclosed. GRP gunwales completed with iroko fendering or full hardwood. Hull, wheelhouse and gunwales are available in kit for home completion Classification Society certification possible. Only the best marine quality gel coats, resin and fibreglass are used throughout. Fit out is to a heavy and robust standard to withstand the rigours of prolonged professional and commercial use.
