Worth knowing
Fitzgerald Marine; cover, cost and conditions
Fitzgerald Marine is an Irish yard based in Kinsale, County Cork, on the south coast. It builds boats in glassfibre and serves two worlds at once, commercial users and leisure owners. The fishing trade press has described how the yard's hull forms can be fitted out either as workboats or as pleasure craft, which has made them common among inshore users. Alongside smaller open boats the range has included larger hulls such as the Deltastar 33, offered both as a workboat and as a fishing boat. The boats are plain and practical in shape, built for the swell of the Atlantic coast rather than for show.
Our model records hold one design from the yard, the FM21 as a motorboat of 6.4 metres. Build years run from 1999 to 2005, seven seasons in all. Nothing reaches the most recent build years, so every FM21 on the market is at least twenty years old. The yard itself presented the FM 21 at boat shows as an open workboat. That explains why these boats turn up in very different fit-outs: some with fishing gear and a working deck, others as angling or day boats for family and friends. Anyone looking at an FM21 should ask what it has been used for.
An open GRP boat that may have worked for a living deserves a close look. Check the deck and transom for soft areas where gear has been bolted on and removed, and look for repaired gelcoat around cleats and rubbing strakes. If the boat has an outboard, inspect the transom core and the bracket bolts; with an inboard, check the shaft, the stern gland and the engine bearers. Fishing use often means salt, bait and heavy loads, so drains and bilge pumps need to work. A boat this size usually lives on a trailer, and the trailer's brakes and bearings matter as much as the hull.
