Winter of Ladram Nominated for Boat of the Year Award

Our latest UK build, Winter of Ladram, has been nominated for Boat of the Year in the 2023 Fishing News Awards.

This award celebrates innovation and excellence in the build and facilities of a new demersal, pelagic or shellfish vessel that entered service in the UK or Irish fleet in 2022. This category will be decided by an expert panel of industry judges.

“Designed by SC McAllister and built by Parkol Marine Engineering, the 21m vivier crabber Winter of Ladram joined the Waterdance fleet last August, and is skippered by Richard Carroll out of Salcombe. With a hull design based on that of the Parkol-built Amanda of Ladram, the vessel features a large deck area midships for handling the gear, and has over 3m of headroom under the shelterdeck for stowage of pots.”
