Introduction

ESTATE SALE - PRICE JUST REDUCED!

 

A proven 60,000 mile passage making/circumnavigating machine, PERELANDRA was custom built to exacting parameters in 1989 by renowned steel sailing yacht expert…LeCain Smith.  Lee and his wife Sheila sailed the PERELANDRA for over 20 yrs.  Following the initial 6 yr. circumnavigation, the PERELANDRA was retired to coastal Maine use.  Lee and Sheila also authored “Steel Away”, a” bible” for steel sailboat construction. 


PERELANDRA was sold in January 2011 to another world cruiser.  Sadly, that person passed away in April, unable to cruise the PERELANDRA.

 

PERELANDRA is now relisted at a significant reduction from the January sale price.  She is in dry storage and ready to sail the coast or, more appropriately, as a global explorer.

Interior Structure

  • Hull Structure and Condition: The hull is constructed with both longitudinal and transverse framing. All bulkheads land on top of the transverse frames. Fir wood cleats are bolted to all framing for attachment of other wood joinery. All of the surface metal is covered with sprayed-on foam to eliminate the potential for water entrapment and allows for full runoff of any spillage to a centralized deep bilge area that can be easily inspected.
  • Stem & Stern: A molded steel cone topside and forefoot has a steel flat bar backing down to the keel. The transom is cross framed with angle iron to the radius.
  • Frames & Floors: Deep molded flange plate frames are top sistered to 2'angle iron frames that are spot welded to the hull. Frames are on about 3 foot centers.
  • Longitudinals/Stringers: Two-inch angle iron stringers on approximately two foot centers run the full length of the hull. Additional stringers are located in the engine area.
  • Bilge Area & Limber Holes: A moderate depth sloping bilge area with ample limbers leads from forward to a deep well amidships. The aft bilge drains fully from the stuffing box under the engine area to the same deep well.
  • Ballast: 10,500# of poured lead ballast is sealed by a steel cover plate in the forward part of the keel.
  • Interior Coating: Epoxy primers and barrier coatings over all interior steel surfaces.
  • Insulation: Type 1 polyurethane sprayed on insulation about 1.5” thick throughout the interior except for the bilge area. It is well adhered to a bitumastic coating over an epoxy base and has a fire retardant coating on top.
  • Chain Locker: Large chain locker forward of the focsle has a good access hatch. It is well insulated and protected from the hull.
  • Bulkheads: Three-quarter inch marine plywood bulkheads throughout the boat are painted a cream color.
  • Woodwork: The interior ceiling is made of Sitka spruce strips. The cabin sides have birch plywood. The trim is Honduran mahogany. The cabin sole is strips of mahogany and Port Orford cedar laminated over ¾” ply.
  • Accommodations: The layout is comfortably arranged with complete facilities for pleasant living. All settees and bunks have nice cloth-covered cushions. There are also waterproof cushions for exterior use. An assortment of miscellaneous, decorations, cosmetic items, books, and spare parts is also included.

 

Hull & Exterior Structure

  • Hull Design: Beamy, molded radius round hull with a long fin keel and skeg rudder. She has moderate but full overhangs, spoon bow, and a gentle sweeping shear. 
  • Hull Construction: Ten-gauge steel plating was stress-relief welded. Larger plates are used in the under body and topsides. Plates at the turn of the bilge were rolled to fit the molded radius of the round hull shape. About seven sections were installed and the ones at the stern and bow ends were multi-rolled to fit the changing radius of this conical development. The framework of the hull was floated into place while the welding of the plate was done. Afterwards it was spot welded to the hull plates. 
  • Hull & Coating Condition Below the Waterline: Layers of epoxy primer with barrier coats and anti-fouling on top. Last Haul Out: Spring 2007. 
  • Corrosion Control/Anodes: Five elliptical zinc anodes are bolted on to the hull at different locations. The propeller shaft has its own collar zinc. 
  • Through hull Openings & Appendages: Six steel through hull openings with seacocks are located below the waterline. The throughhull in the engine room is a standpipe that services a number of items. There are four cockpit drains that have standpipes running directly all the way through to the cockpit. 
  • Speed Log: One located on the forward port under body near the stem. 
  • Transducer: One located on the forward port under body near the stem. 
  • Propeller/Shaft Log & Stern Tube: A fixed, three-blade 24/17 bronze propeller is mounted on a 1.5 inch stainless steel propeller shaft. The shaft is skewed to port for easy removal without interference from the rudder. The protruding steel stern tube has water access lubrication holes. 
  • Rudder & Other Appendages: The steel rudder is hung on a skeg. High-tensile bearings are fixed at the rudder post head. An internal stainless pivot cone is seated at the foot bearing. There is an eye on the top of the rudder for emergency lifting purposes.
  • Hull Condition and Coating on the Topsides: A fully layered coating with epoxy primers, high-build fairing barrier coats and a polyurethane topcoat seals the hull. The topsides are green in color. 
  • Topside Openings/Fixtures/Appendages: The only opening is for the propane tank drain, which is just above the waterline on the starboard side. Mounting studs on the transom protrude for securing the Aries self-steering wind vane. There is also an integral steel boarding step on the transom just above the waterline. A wood anti-chafe rub rail of balou and iron bark is secured to the topsides just below the shear with S/S studs welded integrally.

 

Exterior Deck & Superstructure
