Below are pictures of a TY 32 being used as a commercial fishing boat. This vessel carries 1 tonnes of water, 1.8 tonnes of fuel and has a cool room capacity for 1.5 tonne of catch. It also has full refrigeration plus a snap freezer, an auxiliary 240 volt power plant, stabilising arms plus many more weight bearing pieces of equipment and yet, powered with a Perkins 4236 (80hp) coupled to a 2:1 reduction box, it still cruises comfortably at 7.5 kts with stabiliser arms down and only uses approx 7 litres of diesel per hour.
Many examples of this design have already been built in fibreglass and the economy and seaworthiness of this boat is outstanding. A single inboard engine of between 60hp and 120hp will give speeds of between 8 to 12kts. This is a very easy boat to build. Plans are available for fibreglass construction.
The study plan package contains construction drawing sheets, accommodation layout and general arrangement drawings, a main materials list for both materials plus other assorted items.
