Overview
PALMYRA is a handsome Chuck Paine design, custom built for an experienced yachtsman. She is a center-cockpit cutter with three cabins; owner’s quarters are aft and two guest cabins are forward. Cruising history includes the Pacific and the Atlantic from the Canadian Maritimes to the Caribbean. PALMYRA is a robust cruising yacht well suited for cruising anywhere on the planet.
Vessel Overview
A major refit in 2006 – 2007 included new engine, generator, carbon fiber mast, standing rigging, Leisurefurl boom, sails, Awlgrip and significant re-wiring. Refit costs exceeded the current asking price.
Accommodations
Next aft is the forward head with basin, toiletry lockers and linens stowage. A combination of doors permits expansion into a commodious shower. Slightly aft and to starboard is a double cabin with upper and lower berths, a bureau and hanging locker, served by a sliding paneled door with two opening ports, an overhead hatch and a dorade ventilator.
The main saloon is a visually crisp, beautifully detailed combination of fine cabinetry and satin varnished North Carolina cherry trim and joinery. Cabinet doors are generally recessed paneled type with louvers, all have secondary positive offshore latching mechanisms. Bulkheads are white in Herreshoff style.
The raised section of the deckhouse provides three forward facing and three cabin side, fixed, one-half inch Lexan Marguard ports installed from the outside onto molded, integral flanges for utmost security. Light and visibility are exceptional and are complimentary to the medium blue Ultra Suede upholstery and the blue and white Delft tiles which surround the Paul Luke woodburning fireplace and the galley backsplash.
A dining area for six is to port with a finely crafted cherry table. Opposite is the fireplace and entertainment center which contains entertainment items (There is a second basic stereo system in the aft owners'cabin with deployable deck speakers.) The navigation station is to starboard and features an oversized chart table with instrument console facing the navigator with a cherry faced cabinet and three-bay pencil/sundries tray. The table has a double tier of chart storage so that charts for immediate use are kept in the upper level, while the lower level (with its own separate aft-facing door/cover) contains secondary charts. A large bookshelf houses ship’s manuals. Navionics are flush mounted.
The galley is equipped with custom stainless- steel countertops throughout with a large, deep single sink with pressure hot and cold, filtered fresh and salt water faucets. Generous food and galleyware lockers are outboard/forward. Stove is a Tasco 3 burner w/ oven, GE microwave is available via inverter power. Independent (fridge / freezer) Sea Frost 12VDC, water cooled systems are installed within well insulated ice boxes: 8 cu. ft. refrigerator and 7cu. ft. freezer. A swing-out bottle locker provides a secondary engine room access (at the base of the companionway). The companionway steps have lift-up treads which reveal stowage for flashlights, safety harnesses and other items requiring quick access.
There is a full headroom passageway aft of the navigator's station leading to the master stateroom. Outboard, to starboard in this area is a workbench with swing out stool, spare parts stowage and tool drawers - all immediately opposite the double doors to the engine compartment. Excellent access is provided to the Yanmar 120 HP diesel, Northern Lights generator and additional ship’s systems. A shelved locker is adjacent to the Nav station. Another watertight compartment is comprised of the aft cabin, head and shower: a watertight, paneled door with double stainless steel dogs separates the aft cabin from the passageway and main saloon. Both the galley• and navigator's station are located at the yacht's axis where there is the least possible motion in a seaway. The large fixed ports in the deckhouse in this area provide wonderful panoramic views and make the chef's chores pleasant.
The master stateroom, aft, has two excellent sea berths, a large hanging locker, bureau and a settee. A companionway ladder accesses the cockpit and there are four opening ports, overhead hatch and a dorade ventilator for this area. The master head is forward to port, with toilet, basin and a separate stall shower (trimmed in teak rather than cherry).
Cabin soles throughout are satin varnished teak and holly. Headroom is 6'6" throughout and 7' in the main saloon. Handrails are strategically positioned throughout the interior, bureau tops are varnished cherry as are cabinet doors, drawer fronts, door jambs and fiddles. Drawers are built with true dovetail joints. Personnel door frames have arched lintels. In terms of fit and finish, PALMYRA is arguably in the very highest eschelon of custom yachts.

Electrical System
The electrical system was specifically designed for durability and redundancy. Ship's service is 12VDC with 3 8D AGM LifeLine batteries divided into (l) house (1) engine (1) winch banks, with emergency crossover switching system for emergency engine start. Generator start battery is independent.
Custom built, main electrical panel with circuit breakers for all loads using color-coded, soldered terminals with lighted texts and condition monitors. Wiring is color-coded, harnessed and bundled using highest quality tinned copper wire with soldered, heat shrink, terminals on all connections.
The high voltage (11OVAC) shore power system has a 50 ft. cord, with isolation transformer and separate breaker panel plus w/ Xantrax inverter/charger and Newmar engine bank charger. Northern Lights generator is mounted in the engine room. Grounding and bonding system installed, using copper banding glassed into the hull.
Deck and Hull
Hull is female-molded fiberglass with Airex core. Deck is balsa-cored, fiberglass composite, glassed to the hull with high bulwarks , topped with varnished teak caprail.
Side decks are laid teak with traditional kingplank.
Other surfaces are painted with Awlgrip Matterhorn white, light grey ,nonskid on cabin tops to reduce glare.

The deck design defies the notion that a center cockpit must be high or less than graceful. PALMYRA’S cockpit is deep and secure for offshore voyaging, with high backrests and sailing controls within easy reach of the helmsman, who can accomplish all sail handling functions alone without additional help. Also included are a cockpit dodger and Bimini top with stainless frames, a custom fitted canvas cover, safety jacklines, sun covers for varnished teak dorade boxes and handrails, fenders with covers and docklines. Hot & cold pressure fresh water faucets are provided for washdown, laundry or Florida shower.

Remarks
The rudder and skeg protect the propeller within an aperture. Watertight compartments fore and aft (four, including the forepeak, forward cabin, aft cabin and lazarette areas) were conceived to provide an additional
margin of safety for the offshore venturer. She has the desirable attribute of three private double staterooms, each with adequate storage space for their occupants.
The conversion, supervised by Chuck Paine, from Stoway ketch to cutter with a carbon fiber mast, reduced weight aloft significantly and created a higher aspect sailplan with more spirited performance on all points of sail.
