Ann Marcel. PZ 389 Built by Peake, Newlyn. Launched in August 1965.
A 27‐foot crabber built for David Hosking, of Porthleven.
She was designed by Mr HN Peake to the requirements of the White Fish Authority, and was 27 feet long with a beam of 9 feet and 3 ft 6 inch draft. She was carvel‐built of one‐inch larch planking on sawn oak frames at 15 inch centres: the keel and stem were also of oak. As befitting her intended purpose, she had a large unobstructed well deck aft with a steering shelter forward; the engines (located immediately aft of the steering shelter) consisted of a 24 hp Lister main engine with an 8½ hp similar engine on the port quarter; the main engine alone giving her a speed of about eight knots. An Echo sounder was also fitted. Reference:
