Gary

Gary is a Schottel Nato workboat built in 1970 and overhauled in 1995, designed for dependable service in restricted and shallow waters. Powered by a 250 bhp main engine driving twin Schottel units, she delivers 2-tonne bollard pull and a 9-knot cruising speed. Her open working deck includes towing gear, winches, lifting points and full safety equipment, making her well suited to barge handling, construction support and general marine operations, with the added benefit of being fully road transportable.
