LATEST launch from Gemini Workboats is the White Heather, a 10m fast cat for owners Dougie Chirnside and Hans Unkles from D and H Boats of Tayvallich on the west coast of Scotland in Argyll.
Built for prawn creeling, she is a sail away part-build vessel fitted with twin Sabre Perkins engines derated to 185hp.
It took Gemini four weeks to complete the mouldings and 12 weeks to fit out the vessel. The owners fitted their own electronics for the long steam home - they reached Peterhead in just 44 hours from the Gemini yard in Colchester during the trip, said Gemini chief Andrew Craig.
