 The
Leilani
is a 17m Stebercraft vessel built in Australia and launched
in December 1994. It has a 491 hp. Caterpiller engine, 5,400 litre
fuel capacity, approximately 2 tonne fish hold, live fish holding
tank, ice machine and life raft capacity for 16 people. It can be
used for surface and bottom longlining and as well as bottom line
or drop line fishing.
The Kavulik
is a PNG made 23 ft vessel with an inboard Yanmar 4.5 hp. engine.
It has a ½ tonne fish hold and is mainly used for various
handline and bottom line fishing methods. The college purchased
the vessel in 2003 after it had been used by the constructor as
a demonstration model. Aside from its work as a fishing platform
it is also very useful for teaching correct berthing techniques
for inboard vessels.
The College also has 5 open deck fibreglass banana boats, (three
23 ft boats and two 19 ft boats), and a mixture of Yamaha outboard
engines (two 25 hp, two 40 hp and one 55 hp).
