YAG Training Vessels - Layout

Layout

YAGs displace 70 tonnes, and are divided into six major below-decks compartments:

• Right forward
• Chain locker
• Forward cabin, containing the galley
• One of the heads (washrooms)
• Officers' eating and sleeping areas
• Navigation room, containing the gyroscopic (gyro) compass

Roughly midships, just aft of the forward cabin, is the engine room, containing twin Detroit Diesel 6-71 series engines (totaling 320 horsepower), as well as a Yanmar diesel generator.

Abaft the engine room is the after cabin. Depending on the YAG, it may sleep up to fourteen people (twelve on 312), and contains the other head, and a small shower. Two layers of bunks run along the hull, with a table on the centreline. Right aft is tiller flats, containing the steering gear, a black water treatment system, engineering and general storage.

Above decks is the wheelhouse, mounted on the forward cabin's coaming; aft of that, the exposed breezeway; and, mounted on the after cabin's coaming, a Zodiac launch as well as a food locker and barbecue. Above the wheelhouse is an open bridge, fitted with chart table and a gyro compass repeater. A second gyro repeater is fitted on the quarterdeck. Each YAG is equipped with a small navigation radar, with the display located in the wheelhouse.

The washrooms are equipped with a pump-action lever, that can be used to pump sewage into the black water treatment tanks held aboard or into the ocean water.
