Nice shots. Good luck to the NFD with it.

Quick question, will it be docked at the Norwalk Police Dock in SoNo?

[dmccabe 1]

The boat will be docked by itself on the East Norwalk side of the river, close to the quarters of Engine 3, those are the members that man the boat.

Beautiful piece of apparatus. Best of luck with her. It looks well thought out just based on the pictures. I would love to see some of the specs/capabilities if someone could post them. Great pictures.

Thats a 5" discharge for running a feeder line from draft to land.

I'll get a spec sheet together for you. Stand by...

Was this obtained through a grant?

It was. It was the US Port Security Grant. Based on this fact, the boat can be summoned to any reasonable location within the waterways around us. I believe Bridgeport's vessel was obtained in the same manner and Stamford is also getting one.
