All American Marine, Bellingham, Wash., has launched a new research vessel built for the California Polytechnical Institute at Humboldt. The R/V North Wind will now undergo sea trials ahead of its delivery and entry into service later this year. The new vessel is a 78’ x 26.7’ semi-displacement aluminum catamaran developed by Nic de Waal of Teknicraft Design, Auckland, New Zealand. Inspected as a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Subchapter T vessel, the newbuild will operate as a multipurpose research vessel in the near-coastal waters of northern California and Oregon and on offshore and ocean routes.
