“Privateer” is a fast and robust offshore vessel (20 knots service speed, 30 knots top speed),constructed for speed and durability. It was first commissioned as a commercial cray boat, demonstrating its capacity for demanding marine operations. During its commercial life, the vessel was in 2C survey, including fishing charters (6 passengers plus 2 crew). This vessel could be refitted and returned to commercial/charter use. In 2008, “Privateer” was acquired by a Port Phillip Bay yacht club as the primary start boat and rescue vessel for keel boat races. Its design, including spacious and versatile working deck areas made it exceptionally well suited to this role.
