The 19.95m vessel is powered by twin Volvo Penta D12-500 marine diesels, each rated at 368kW and driving propellers for a service speed of 25 knots and a sprint speed up to 29 knots. Each hull is divided into six watertight compartments, one of which is a fireproof machinery space for the engine, V-drive and ancillary components.

Built to the new Ocean Runner design, the Fintry Pilot Catamaran has extremely long hulls and a low overall weight, which reduces the power requirement whilst improving fuel consumption by 35% compared to a monohull of similar length and conventional construction. A particularly quiet cabin is the result of mounting on rubber dampers and up to ten pilots will enjoy a generous amount of space and the flat, high deck.

The hulls, decks and superstructure are made of large industrially pre-fabricated epoxy sandwich panels which have surface layers made of flame resistant epoxy prepregs with non-crimp fabrics made of glass fibre and sandwich cores of PVC foam or PP honeycombs. The panels are connected by means of correspondingly dimensioned glass epoxy tapes and channels made of special epoxy adhesive.

The composite construction promises a lifetime of 20 years or more and a claimed residual value of half the initial investment after that period.

The Fintry Pilot Vessel satisfies the UK MCA Code and the IMO High Speed Craft Code 2000. During its classification survey conducted by Bureau Veritas, Fintry Two was operated at 29 knots with the consumption per engine less than seven litres per nautical mile.
