Willard Marine will produce a 33-foot, fiberglass harbor patrol boat for the Oceanside Police Department in California based on the “Crystaliner” boat design.
The order from Oceanside Police Department marks the first Crystaliner to be purchased from Willard Marine since they acquired the licensing and manufacture rights from Crystaliner, which folded in 2012.
Search and Rescue and Firefighting
Willard’s more contemporary Crystaliner design includes new electronic systems, upgraded hull construction and powerful firefighting features. With a length of 33 feet and beam over 10 feet, its large open deck space is ideal for search and rescue missions, law enforcement safety and firefighting operations.
Driven by twin Yanmar 8LV-350 inboard diesel engines, the vessel is capable of a cruising speed of 27 knots. The Oceanside craft will feature a Darley PSDE 125 single stage centrifugal fire pump producing over 1250 gallons per minute at 150 psi.
The Oceanside Police Department currently patrols the coastal and offshore region of San Diego, Oceanside and parts of Orange County, with three Crystaliner vessels that have been in service 15 to 30 years.
