Construction
Built of steel with multi-chine construction under the water line for
immense strength, sand-blasted and repainted with 8 coats of epoxy, and
all new hull fittings at the Basimakoupolos Shipyard in Greece in 2012.
There is 3200kgs of lead ballast encapsulated in the long and deep keel
giving a displacement ratio of 29.09%, even before the weight of fuel
and water is added to the tanks. The topsides are faired with filler to
appear completely smooth, and there are stainless steel fittings in all
areas of wear including rubbing strakes. The boat had a full refit to
topsides and deck and repaint with Awlgrip paints by Anker Marine at
Yatmarine Marmaris in 2013, and all teak fittings to bulwarks and
cockpit were completely replaced. The all-wood interior was revarnished
at same yard in 2014, with new upholstery and foam fitted to both saloons.
Accommodation
A unique layout that provides extended living space in a large
galley-diner, as well as a light and operational pilot house. The
forecabin and aftercabin both offer ample storage and full standing
headroom. Extensive storage in the main cupboards and wardrobes as well
as under all the deep floors. A separate shower stall and wash basin in
the heads, which is on the centre line of the boat for ease of use at
sea. There are lee-cloths for bunks in both cabins, and conversions to
allow both saloons to provide double berths if required.
Equipment
The boat is fully equiped with all the resources needed for living
onboard for extensive periods of time. Power is supplied from the
Leece-Neville 105 A alternator, shore power via 3.5 Kva Isolation
Transformer to a Mobitronic 25 A switch compact charger for the 4
batteries bank of 447 ah and a dedicated Blue Power 15 A charger for the
MaxPower CT100 Bow Thruster and its separate 140 ah battery. Power is
monitored by a Merlin Smartguage, and boosted by an Aerogen 4 wind
generator and double 30W solar panels. There is a fridge and a freezer,
an Eberspacher heater (not used in recent years), and hot-water
calorifier. The main anchor is a Rocna Vulcan 25 kg anchor and its 55m of
10mm chain with further 25m warp were regalvanised in 2014. There are
three back up anchors. The Quick Prince 1500 windlass is
new for 2019. There is an Avon Airdeck inflatable dinghy, 2.6m. There is
a sprayhood, bimini, window and hatch covers, window reinforcement
covers, and various deck covers.
Anderson winches x3, cockpit table. 4 very large fenders and 6 standard
ones, ball fender for stern. Boarding ladder for bow or sides. Countless
mooring ropes. Stern 50m anchor warp plus Fortress anchor and chain. Gas
barbeque. Bathing hose and shower in stern locker.
Sails & Spars
The substantial, sloop rig sets a furling mainsail (Elvstom, vertical
short battens) of 37.1 m2, and a furling 150% Genoa of 56 m2 (HongKong
Sails). The inner self-tacking jib (80%) was new in 2016. All sail is
handled by one person in the cockpit, typically flying the large genoa
downwind and the self-tacker in more than 15 knots upwind. This is not a
light boat but as a rule of thumb enough wind to turn the wind generator will
ensure comfortable speed sailing - at around force 2-3. She is extremely
comfortable with a force 4-5 and upwards. The standing rig was replaced
entirely in 2015.
There are also spares for every sail, and a cruising chute, and an
extending pole, and a spare inner forestay and storm jib, in storage below.
Navigation Equipment
The chart table and locker are in the pilot house, and there are twin
helms with engine speed controls, free-standing GPS and full navigation
information at both stations. The Raymarine ST50 equipment has been
maintained well, and offers speed, depth, wind, course, rudder and
autohelm control data. The GPS plotter in the pilot house is a Lowrance
5159 and in the cockpit a Raymarine Dragonfly 5M. The cockpit binacle
compass is a Garmin (Silva) 125T new in 2016. There is a fixed Sailor
VHF and a mobile for cockpit use. All navigation lights, anchor light,
solar anchor strobe. Courtesy flags, pilot books and charts, Solent to
Turkey.
