Seaward Presents Plans for a New 8-Seat Nelson 42 Pilot Boat

Seaward is launching plans for a new 8-seat Nelson 42 Pilot Boat at Seawork, alongside its extensive range of all-weather pilot, harbour and work boats.

Seaward’s latest Nelson 42 is a highly developed and refined version of earlier TT Designs, but now has an extensively developed hull form and a ‘floating’ wheelhouse, which reduces noise and vibration considerably.

This extended wheelhouse version allows such vessels to serve multiple ships and/or provide personnel transfers. Depending on the engines selected, they also have a service speed of 25knots in almost any conditions and the facilities to stay on station for extended periods.

Seaward has been building rugged Nelson commercial and leisure motor boats for more than three decades and all 254 of them are still hard at work. 
The first Seaward built vessel was a 40 footer, which continues to provide sterling service in the Caribbean.

The latest Seaward Nelson pilot boats are operating out of harbours as far afield as Denmark Tenerife and La Reunion.
