One Tough Tory Sails from Eire
01 Jun 2005
Safehaven Marine has just launched their latest newbuild Interceptor 42 Toraigh Na Dtonn (The Waves of Tory) for new owners Pat and Berney Doohan of Tory Island in Co. Donegal, Ireland.
The vessel is a Class 6 passenger vessel and was built for multiple roles. It will act as a passenger vessel between the mainland and Tory Island, where the owners operate a hotel, and will also be used for sightseeing, sea angling and diving.
Toraigh Na Dtonn is the first 'smaller' Class 6 passenger vessel built since the implementation of new safety regulations by the Department of the Marine, fully conforming to all stringent constructional requirements of the Class, including six watertight compartments, strong scantlings and a high level of stability.
The vessel is powered by twin Caterpillar 3126 engines rated at 385hp, which take the 11,000kg displacement craft to a maximum speed of 28.5 knots. It displays exceptional seakeeping common to all Interceptor 42s, providing a soft ride into head seas and excellent handling down wind in following seas.
