Drumbeat of Devon
Based on a modified Stan Patrol 2200 design DRUMBEAT OF DEVON was built in 1991 by Damen of Holland for Devon County Council Fisheries Protection Department. Her duty is to patrol the North and South coast of Devon where the vessel has to be capable of rounding the rugged Cornish coastline. Drumbeat has the endurance to support herself and crew for patrol periods of up to six days and is both fast and comfortable in most sea conditions. Maximum speed: 22 knots and cruising speed: 18 knots. This model, manufactured as a kit by Model Slipway, however I can find very little on the history of the vessel.
