For the Lochin enthusiast, we wanted to show you some of the more
interesting builds. Some that offer a range of complexity or interest.
Rye Pilot Boat: Lochin 366 with unique
wheelhouse
Working boats are often required to do multi-purpose roles and especially
so in this case. The Rye Pilot Boat is required to undertake six roles,
which makes the design of this Pilot Boat unique and different from the
conventional loo and feel of a pilot vessel. The roles it must perform
include: pilot vessel, police launch, river boat, tug, search & rescue &
survey vessel.
These are some of the projects we are
currently working on in conjunction with our associates...
LOCHIN 366 (SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION) PILOT /
WORKBOAT- PORT OF RYE
This vessel is designed to fulfil a multi role from pilot
transfer to general harbour duties and security patrol. She will be
fitted with a bespoke wheelhouse design for crew transfer and undertake
towing assignments and rescue duties as required. This craft will be
fitted with twin Perkins 1100 series power units using remote ‘V’ drive
gearboxes together with a plethora of equipment and navigation aids. She
will join the ‘Rother 111’ - a Lochin 33 built some 30 + years ago
……………… we sometimes build them too well!!
No photo at lower level – perhaps show the 339 development as a Harbour
Pilot?
LOCHIN 339 HARBOUR PILOT – (THE FIRST OF
THE CLASS!)
In conjunction with the development of the 339 tooling we are
gearing up to produce the first LOCHIN 339 in HARBOUR PILOT form. This
vessel will enter production at our Newhaven yard later this year once
the tooling is completed but we have already produced a mock-up of the
wheelhouse environment to refine our think and prove our theories. Watch
this space for regular updates and development!
LOCHIN 333 MOTOR CRUISER – (POSSIBLY THE
LAST OF THE MARQUE!)
We are able to produce a small number of the 333 designs
from our tooling but we anticipate this will be retired during 2011 once
the 339 comes on stream.
Don’t forget the LOCHIN SHOP. We
have a number of interesting mouldings that can enhance your existing
boat should you be undertaking refurbishments!
