The new Favonius, LOA
23metres, is a replacement for the Buchan brothers’ previous
vessel, a wooden hulled vessel Aspire FR793. Macduff had also
constructed Aspire. Favonius was designed and constructed
exclusively by Macduff.
While constructed to the Buchan brothers’ specifications, Macduff
have constructed Favonius, LOA 23metres, with good reserve
stability, allowing alterations to the design if additional net
drums were required on the top deck.
Favonius has a breadth of 7.8metres, a depth of 4.2metres and
totals at 230 tonnes. It also has a fuel capacity of 18167litres
(not including a service tank) and a water capacity of
25927liters.
