F/V INDIANA

Marty McCallum, owner of the 1927 seiner INDIANA recently hired Coastwise Marine Design to re-design the fish hold and fuel tanks as part of the extensive rebuild the winter-spring of 2014.  CMD hired NW Metrology to laser scan the hull using a FARO laser.  A 3D Rhinoceros model was created using the point cloud generated by the scan, in addition to hand measurements. The 3D model was used to build an accurate weight estimate in Excel.  Hydrostatics and stability calculations were performed preliminary with Orca 3D naval architecture software, but final comparison to US Fishing Vessels stability criteria was done by GHS thanks to Tullio Celano at Crescere Marine Engineering.  The vessel will be inclined after launch to verify our estimations.  

Dave Thompson and his crew are rebuilding the INDIANA in the Port of Port Townsend. The scope of the re-build includes raising the main deck sheer 8", re-configuring the two tanked holds into one 985 cubic foot hold that is further forward than original.  The fuel tanks have been been relocated to the lazerette and additional concrete ballast added to the forward bilge.  See refit plan. 

Marty also wanted to explore the option of adding a top house so a version was created in the 3D model.  A top house is ill advised at this time, but final determination will happen after the inclining when the true stability is known.

INDIANA's skiff has been redesigned as part of the re-power overhaul by Peter Kopetski of Northwinds Welding (360) 379-048. NWW has fabricated the new fuel tanks as well. See skiff re-fit plan.
