The
anchor chain locker is situated at the bow, directly aft of
this is the crew cabin with accommodation for two crew in
two "bunks" with ample storage space and an en suite head, shower and wash basin. A sheltered hatch on
the foredeck accesses the crew cabin.
The
Master Stateroom is situated on the port side aft from here.
It has an en suite head, 3/4-length bath and wash basin. To
starboard of this is a twin cabin with a separate head and
shower directly opposite. The stairs to the main deck are on
the starboard side of the yacht.
Aft
of this is the engine room. On the port side aft of the
engine room a twin cabin is situated with plenty of storage
space. Access to the heads with 3/4-length bath and wash
basin on the starboard side is through a small
"landing" this also leads you to the full width
twin bedded aft cabin that has it's own wash basin.
Aft of this cabin is storage space accessed through a
hatch on the aft deck.
At
the forward of the upper deck there is the bridge. The yachts bridge is what you would expect to see on a much
larger vessel, there is extensive navigation and
communications equipment and a large Kelvin engine panel.
There are doors out on either side of the bridge and there
is deck to forward of the bridge so that it can be walked
around from outside. There is a comfortable captain's chair
fixed to port of the entrance to the captain's cabin, which
has a large single bed with bookshelves and cupboards. The
captain's cabin has ensuite head, shower and wash basin.
Aft
of the bridge area there are two double sun beds underneath
which there is plenty of storage space. The funnel, which is
a large shelved store, divides these. The remainder of the
deck further aft is ideal for lounging and entertaining and
accommodates the two life rafts and the mizzen mast.
A ladder leads down to the aft deck.
Because
of her unusually wide beam, she is much more
spacious than yachts of much greater length. Full height
Mahogany beamed ceilings, mahogany panelling throughout,
full walk around main and upper decks, and all amenities
contribute to the comfort and security aboard. The entire
yacht is air-conditioned with individual controls in all
cabins and living areas.
The
galley is equipped with a large water cooled fitted freezer,
a Carran Phoenix oatmeal sink, a Gaggenau ceramic halogen
hob, a Gaggenau extractor fan, a Gaggenau grill, a Gaggenau
oven, a Miele washing machine and a Miele dishwasher. All
worktops are granite and all cupboards are mahogany.

Owners
Remarks:
She
is truly a unique yacht, built to massive
scantlings that are usually found in a vessel twice her
size. Her hull is so strong that she can take just about
anything the sea can throw at her. Stabilised and with a
deep draft, her motion is quite comfortable in any sea
state. With a range of over 3000 miles, she is capable of
going anywhere
in the world.
In
1999 her present owners refitted her extensively. She had new generators, new caulking in the
hull and in the deck, a new galley, a new mechanical bilge
pump, new masts reinforced with steel for increased
strength, the bridge and engine room were brought up to
date. The entire yacht was improved at great cost to keep
all her ship-sized systems in peak mechanical and structural
condition. She is capable of cruising the oceans of the
world in complete confidence, safety and enjoyment for her
owner and guests.
It
is impossible to overstate the considerable volume and
comfortable four-stateroom layout that she offers. Her 6.8m beam gives the impression of a 90' motor
yacht. Couple this spaciousness with her low rpm Kelvin
diesel, stabiliser system, the comfort and warmth of a wood
interior with her massive, overbuilt Iroko hull, and you
have a rare and wonderful vessel. The present owners, a
couple, formerly crewed the vessel before purchasing her.
Now having lived at sea and run dive charters in the Indian
Ocean and Red Sea for several years they have decided to
move on to land for some time to have a family, affording an
opportunity to own this unique yacht.
Exclusions:
Owner's
personal effects and tools. Any items not included in this
inventory should be considered exclusionary in the sale of
the vessel.
