Phoenix is a fine example of one of the great British classic offshore designs with her own unusual history. After 5 years with the Royal Navy she was rebuilt at the Tyler yard and not operated at sea until 2000, when she was working in Scotland as an offshore dolphin-watcher, under strict British passenger vessel rules. Her present owner has recently invested in re-engineering her power train to ensure a true 18 knot maximum speed and the good seakeeping for which this design is famous.
