Workboat for Ireland
Irish mussel farmer Colin Whooley has taken delivery of a new design of workboat from Fusion Marine.
Colin, whose mussel farm is situated in Roaring Water Bay in south-west Ireland, opted for the TUFF Tender S450 workboat because of its toughness. The 4.5m PE craft will be used for sampling the growing mussels and also collecting spat from rocks.
Inevitably, this means the craft will often be scraping against rocks or mussel encrusted lines, making it important that it can withstand such pressure.
“I was looking for a small but tough workboat and this craft from Fusion Marine fits the bill perfectly,” states Colin.
The craft, which has a 700kg capacity, is also perfect for boating ponds and fishing reservoirs as the longevity and robustness means that little maintenance is required.
