Saloon, through a security door is well laid out and
houses the twin main engines (MAN 1,100 h.p each.)
Outboard of the main engines are the two Onan 16 kW
generators, together with the air intake and exhaust fans.
The exhaust system was modified and now exhausts under
water, outboard of the gearboxes. The 4 x 6 volt high
capacity bank of service batteries were renewed in 2008.
The separate generator starting batteries new in 2009
(there is a separate battery charger for the generator
batteries), are maintenance free, and are housed aft of
the Starboard engine, while the high capacity engine
starting batteries (new in 2009) are to Port. Amidships

conditioning compressors. Above the compressors are the
main pumps for the toilet system (an extra pump with
change over valves is mounted forward), Bilges, fire
fighting and fresh water. Aft and outboard on each side
are the two calorifiers of 60 liters each. Large
temperature and pressure gauges, together with 2 mini
cameras are mounted in a manner that they can be viewed on
the wheelhouse monitor. The six fuel tanks are located
against the forward bulkhead and can be isolated
individually. Prior to reaching the engines, the fuel runs
through twin Racor filters for either engine.
To Port of the engine room door are 3
switch panels for operation of submergable bilge pumps
(Manual / Off / Automatic). The pumps are located under
the Master cabin bed, the after end of the engine room and
under the Aft Guest cabin bed. (A fourth submergible pump
is installed in the Lazzerette bilge, and is wired for

only.
The floorboards were renewed and
manufactured out of checkerplate aluminium of 5 mm. All
underwater fittings and sea cocks were renewed in 2008.
THE TEAK LAID DECK
is well equipped with the following equipment: Lofrans
Titan 2000 Watt windlass. This windlass may be operated
from either deck-mounted switches, a hand remote control
or from switches in the wheelhouse and on the flybridge. A
danforth anchor is equipped with approximately 100 meters
of ½” (12.5 mm) chain. A spare anchor is housed in the
Lazzerrett on the end of 50 meters of rope and a short
length of chain. A teak deck locker houses various warps
and mooring lines. There are 2 cleats forward, 4 amidships
and 2 aft. Lofrans mooring winches are mounted on either
quarter.
All the deck is surrounded by 35 mm
stantions and hand hail.
Large sun bathing cushions are laid
forward of the windscreen. A hatch at the Starboard
quarter leads in to the Lazzerett in which are located
various spare parts, the Stern Thruster motor (Vetus 160).
This unit operates off the engine starter batteries. There
are the two high capacity battery chargers for the service
and starting batteries. Also in this area are the electro
/ mechanical drive unit for the passarelle and the
receiver for the remote control of same.
THE AFT DECK
is equipped with a folding table, which can seat up to 8
persons. The folding chairs for this table are located in
various areas of the vessel together with folding stools.
Overhead lighting illuminates the aft deck and both side
decks.
An electro hydraulic Passarelle is
fitted centrally through the transom and is operated
either from local switches or from key ring type radio
controlled remote units. The Passerelle when retracted
stows in the Lazzerette and partially in the gap below the
aft deck and the ceiling of the aft cabin.
Located either side of the large
stainless steel / glass saloon access are lockers. In the
Port locker there are controls for emergency engine stop
(separate), fuel shutoff (separate), Air shutoff
(separate), and a 4 kilo hand held fire extinguisher. The
main fire fighting hose is also located in this space.
(There are also hand held fire extinguishers located
throughout the vessel, and like all safety equipment on
board, these are serviced annually by authorized agents).
THE TEAK DECKED FLYBRIDGE
is reached via stairs from the wheelhouse and has the
steering position to Starboard. Like the wheelhouse, the
steering is hydraulic. Comprehensive engine
instrumentation is complemented by controls and indicators
for the hydraulic trim tabs, remote control for the auto
pilot, controls for the Sanshin search light (another
control is installed in the wheelhouse) and a second
FURUNO GPS. The magnetic steering compass is a
Constellation.
A large U shaped seating area is
complimented by a teak dining table. Stowed inside the
Starboard seating are the life jackets, and an eight man
life raft new in 2007 is stored aft of the seating. The
life raft is serviced annually by approved agents. 2 x
liferings are stowed outboard of the liferafts. The radar
arch on which are mounted the various antennas, separates
the seating area from the dinghy stowage space. Mounted on
the Arch are a pair of waterproof loudspeakers, fed from
the saloon stereo system, with their own separate volume
controls. The cream Bimini top is stowed against the
forward end of the radar arch when not in use.
Covers are used to protect the seating,
console, wheel, crane and dinghy.
THE DINGHY,
a Zodiac Yachtline De Luxe, YL 380 DL (3.80 m x 1.77 m) is
designed for 5 passengers and is complete with bow rail,
built in fuel tank, automatic bilge pump, navigation
lights, cleats and lifting gear. The Johnson 35 H.P.
outboard fitted to the dinghy has electric starting
battery (new in 2009) and electric tilt and trim
facilities. Engine monitoring instruments, together with
trim indicator, are installed on the console of the
dinghy. Both Dinghy and Outboard were purchased new in
2002 and have had minimal use. The dinghy is launched and
hauled using an electrically powered crane (overhauled).
The crane is conveniently stowed out of sight between the
dinghy and flybridge seating.
THE HULL:
The two shafts were renewed in 2002 using 80 mm in place
of the original 55 mm. The then existing Bow and Stern
Thrusters were removed and replaced by Vetus equipment, a
single 160 aft (operating off the engine starting
batteries) and a double 160 installation forward, again
with their own batteries and charger. All three Thrusters
may be operated from either the wheelhouse or from the fly
bridge.
In 2007, the hull was examined and
found to be free of osmotic blistering, but very humid.
The vessel was hold out of water in September 2007, the
gel coatings were plained and shotblasted off, and after a
suitable drying period, six coats of West Epoxy were
applied together with a filling and fairing coat. A
barrier coat was applied prior 2 coats of antifouling
paint. All the through hull fittings and the respective
sea cocks were replaced by new items. The above treatment
is guaranteed for a five years period by the contractor
who carried out the works and s transferable to a new
owner. The vessel as relaunched in the summer of 2008.
Although the vessel has had a minimal
use since purchased in 2001, all mechanical, electrical
and safety equipment has been maintained as for sea going
duties.
In June 2009, the vessel was hauled out
for drying period, polish and antifouling. She will be
launched at the end of July.
