Dongara Marine has delivered Australia's largest capacity high-speed lobster boat, the 85-foot Holdfast.
With capacity for 210 baskets or 6.2 metric tons of live lobster, Holdfast is the fourth 20+ meter lobster boat in as many years to be designed by Southerly Designs, joining Ohana (2015), Daydawn (2016), and Gambler (2017).
Although not the lead builder for the Daydawn and Gambler projects, Dongara Marine played a key role as the manufacturer of their resin-infused composite wheelhouses. The weight, noise and temperature insulation, finish, and maintenance advantages these wheelhouses have over conventional aluminum or fibreglass structures are driving their popularity with both fishing and work boat operators.
