The latest design by Macduff Shipyards is the steel hulled trawler 'Daystar' BF 151, built for Colin Mitchell from Gardenstown and Steven West from Fraserburgh.
Arranged as a twin rig trawler the hull is a modified version of 'Amethyst' BF19, 'Uberous' FR50 recently built by the same yard. Layout and deck arrangements were refined to suit the owners’ requirements, including an additional bulkhead on the fish handling deck to isolate the winch area. The fish handling area was insulated and lined. The vessel will operate from Fraserburgh through Westward Fishing Company. The layout is conventional and the hull form double chine with bulbous bow and bulbous skeg forward of the propeller. The keel is arranged in box form to carry ballast, and profiled bilge keels are fitted. The steel deckhouse is fitted rail-to-rail athwarships and is weather tight. The rest of the deckshelter is non-weather tight and is constructed of steel aft of the deckhouse and aluminium alloy forward of the deckhouse. The main engine is a Mitsubishi S6R2 MPTK rated 400kw at 1350 RPM with a Reintjes WAF374 reverse reduction gearbox with 6.12:1 ratio, driving a 2000mm dia nozzle propeller. This combination gives a shaft speed of 220 RPM, which will increase towing efficiency. Macduff Diesels supplied the Mitsubishi engines.
