Description

Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) first met Cheetah Marine at the Southampton Boat Show when they were looking for a larger and more stable craft. Following a rigorous tendering process, Cheetah was selected as the successful bidder and work began on a new road towable 7.2mcatamaran. Whilst the IFF required the new vessel to carry out a multitude of specific tasks for sampling, the catamaran was also required to fulfill broader roles within patrol and enforcement. Often working in landlocked lakes, as well as countrywide rivers and estuaries, the specification was made further challenging as it was essential the whole rig was easily towable between launch sites. For ease of transportation along Ireland’s varying caliber of roads the 7.2m Cheetah with the slightly smaller beam of 2.55m was chosen over the more popular and beamier 7.9m. During November and the start of the fit out stage, Emma Morrissey, Fisheries Technician and Fiona Kelly, Senior Research Officers visited the Cheetah workshops. Armoured with IFI’s new bespoke sampling equipment,the final decisions were made with the equipment and operators on the boat,crucial to ensure the Cheetah perfectly complimented its equipment and future tasks. "We found the visit to the workshop very beneficial, it allowed us to visualize the space on the boat and work out the fine details with Barry and Simon resulting in a high quality custom-made finished product." comments Emma who will be one of the Chief Skippers and Surveyor aboard the new Cheetah. The resulting 7.2m Cheetah ‘An tSionainn’,named after the Shannon was delivered to Dublin at the end of March.
