Built in 1985 by Currubin Marine (Australia) OASIS was built in 1985 by the yard's head shipwright at Currubin Marine, for his own use as a retirement boat. After cruising the South Pacific out of Australia, she made her way to New Caledonia in 2010, where she has remained ever since. Built for Blue-Water Passages OASIS was designed from the outset as a long-range fishing vessel, built to one uncompromising standard: strength and reliability, whatever the sea threw at her. Drawing on his own experience as a shipbuilder, her designer chose a full-aluminium hull, 53ft LOA — a decision that has paid off in rugged, long-lasting construction. • Hull: forward third 10mm aluminium plate, remaining two-thirds 6mm • Structure and framing: 10mm aluminium throughout • Weight: 25 tonnes (structure) (to be confirmed/reconciled — see note below) • Solid one-piece keel, protecting shafts and propellers She's built the old way — heavy, overbuilt, and to a standard rarely seen today. Robust, Proven Power The powertrain follows the same philosophy: rugged and dependable above all. • Twin Scania H24 V8 turbo diesels, 380hp each • Low-maintenance: service intervals every 500 hours • Centrifugal oil cleaner and bronze impeller • Stainless steel propeller shafts, 80mm diameter • ONAN 15kVA 4-cylinder generator Safety and Fit-Out The boat runs fully electric, with no gas installation aboard, removing that particular fire risk altogether. • Fire detectors and a fire alarm control panel • CO2 fixed fire-suppression system for the engine room • Deck wash-down system with hose runs long enough to reach and clean the entire hull • 6m³ cold room / freezer — for provisions, the catch, or simply extra stowageUnderwayWith a hefty 35-tonne displacement, OASIS gives an immediate, reassuring sense of sea-kindliness and stability underway.
