FAST PATROL VESSELS
David M Cannell and Associates has been designing
vast patrol vessels and work boats for over thirty years and our designs
are in operation world wide with national authorities and organisations.
Our designs are characterised by exceptional load carrying ability
and low power requirements together with excellent sea keeping qualities. |

As just two examples,
the UK Sea Fisheries Authority, Eastern Sea Fisheries Joint Committee
operates "ESF Protector III", a 23.5 metre twin screw patrol
vessel with controllable pitch propellers and a 6.7m RIB daughter
vessel which is ramp launched and recovered. "Protector III"
is constructed in GRP and powered by twin Caterpillar 3412's is capable
of up to 30 knots. The crew report they seldom make passages at less
than 20 knots, whatever weather conditions. "Protector III"
was launched in 1994 and has since proved extremely effective in her
role. The vessel complies with the UK MCA Code of Practice for the
Safety of Workboats. |
| "Protector III"'s
tank tested hull design has sisters ranging from 21 to 30m in length,
constructed in either FRP/GRP, aluminium alloy or steel. |
 |
The 16 metre patrol boats pictured are operated
by police and military forces in the Caribbean and Middle East. Capable of speeds
over 30 knots, these vessels can be powered by either twin screw or
twin water jets and again, can be built in GRP or aluminium alloy. |
