Sea Lion is accessed from an aft deck door into the salon; a portside door (aligned with the portside boarding gate) into the salon; or doors from the boat deck on either side of the pilot house into the pilot house.

The salon is carpeted wall-to-wall. To starboard there is a custom-built shaped 6’10” built couch with hidden, built-in storage compartments under the cushions. The couch is fronted by two ottoman/coffee tables. To port is a wall of custom cabinetry to window height that contains the audio/visual control equipment, a built-in electrically lowerable wide-screen TV, book cases, and a built-in fold down custom chess/checker table. Two large over-stuffed custom chairs flank the TV.

The audio/visual equipment is as follows:

·         Samsung 6050 40” LED Flat-Screen TV

·         Dolby HD Direct TV Receiver

·         Samsung Blu-Ray disc Player

·         Geffen 4x1 HD Switch with Audio De-Coding

Forward of the salon is the dining area with a teak floor and a beautiful, custom, wenge, leafed dining table expandable to accommodate 8 diners. There are 8 matching chairs, 3 of which can be positioned at the galley counter for informal meals.

The galley is forward of the dining area, separated from it by a wide granite counter top. The galley is u-shaped with an over-sized sink with garbage disposal on the starboard wall, and with the stove/oven and full-height refrigerator and matching freezer on the forward bulkhead. The dishwasher, trash compactor, and extensive drawer storage open into the galley from under the counter between the galley and the dining area. Across from the galley on the portside wall is a large service counter with the same over-sized sink with garbage disposal for cleaning crabs and fileting fish. On the service counter aft of the sink is a coffee bar with both an expresso machine and a Nespresso machine. Forward of the sink is a 52-bottle wine cooler. Under the service counter is a high-capacity ice maker, a beverage refrigerator and cabinet, and drawer storage.

All of the critical nav/comm equipment normally operated on 120 volts can be powered by a MasterVolt sine wave inverter located under the pilot house command station.  The pilot house has its own 12-volt and 24-volt gel cell batteries each with a dedicated charger.  In the event of flooding in the engine room, these power sources will enable continued operation of the boat’s radios and emergency lights. If necessary, the batteries may be paralleled with the engine start and/or house batteries.  Any of the batteries on board may be charged by three different sources.  This configuration exceeds the Coast Guard requirements for inspected vessels.

The flying bridge is both a command center and a social center.  It has three control stations:  a centerline helm and two wing stations, port and starboard. Two white leather Stidd command chairs are mounted behind the centerline station.  The centerline command station has a plotter screen and the necessary thruster and engine controls to steer the boat.

The Stidd chairs can be turned to face aft, becoming part of a seating area that is completed by a wrap-around, built-in, well-upholstered bench and integrated high-gloss teak cocktail table.  The bench provides built-in storage which contains 6 survival suits.

The flying bridge sits under a permanent fiberglass Bimini hardtop custom built by C-Fab in Newport Beach, CA.  It supports isinglass curtains all around with zippered closures and roll-up tabs.

The Lower Deck is accessed via a stairway on the port-side of the galley. The Lower Deck has a single bunk crew quarters in the bow with a separate entry door and also a door into an adjoining bath. This bath also has another door into the captain’s cabin just aft and on the starboard side. The captain’s cabin has a separate entry into the hallway that runs the length of the lower deck. Across this hallway from separate entry into the captain’s cabin is the doorway into the Laundry Room. If the Owner is captaining the boat, the crew quarters and the captain’s cabin on the lower deck will serve as very comfortable additional guest staterooms.

Just aft of the laundry room door is the stairway up to the galley and the main deck.

Further aft off the lower deck hallway are two guest staterooms, one to the port and one to the starboard. Both are ensuite with full baths including showers and Head Hunter heads. The port-side stateroom has two single beds. The starboard-side stateroom has one double bed. Each stateroom has a hanging locker and generous under-bed drawer storage as well as built in night stands and shelf storage.

Aft of the two guest stateroom doorways is a water-tight door into the engine room. It is possible to enter and exit the lower deck through the engine Room and via a ladderway on the aft bulkhead of the engine room leading up to the aft deck.

The engine room contains:

·         main engine, a turbo-aspirated Cat 3408 with only 3,400 hours since major overhaul in 2002

·         power take-off on main engine to drive bow thruster

·         engine-driven air compressor

·         46” Propeller

·         8 blade 18”, 50HP bow thruster

·         14 blade 18”. 35 HP stern thruster

·         18” Bow and stern thrusters by American Thrusters

·         Niad stabilizers 16 square feet

·         fore and aft bilge keels, port and starboard

·         Fillable bow bulb for head sea ballast with dedicated electric pump

Hydraulic power for the anchor, thrusters and stabilizers is provided from two independent hydraulic pumps, one driven by a power take-off on the main engine and the other driven by a power take-off on the forward generator.  A hydraulic oil reservoir with tank-mounted filtration is located on the starboard side of the forward bulkhead in the engine room.  Controls are located on the overhead switch panel in the pilot house.  There is enough hydraulic power to operate the bow and stern thrusters simultaneously.

The boat has two Technicold 36,000 BTU (3-ton) chillers with programmable SMVector Lenze variable frequency drivers. These units can be run together (in tropical or sub-tropical environments) or one-at-a-time. They cool a loop that passes through Acqua Air air handlers in each stateroom, the galley, the dining area, the salon and the pilothouse.

The air handlers can be easily (and individually) re-programmed to control electric heat coils in each air handler so that individual living spaces can be electrically heated while the rest of the boat is cooled by the air conditioning.

The boat also has a Kabola diesel furnace (in the lazarette) that heats the air conditioning loop (if the chillers are not in use.) This provides non-electric, highly efficient heat to all the living spaces as well as non-electric heat to the hot water heaters.

The boat’s electrical system is designed for self-sufficiency and overnight anchorage without running a

generator.

The boat has a 24 six-volt AGM deep cycle batteries connected in parallel which gives the “house” battery bank 2,490 Amp-Hours of current at 24 volts. In addition, it has two 4,000 watt MagnaSine inverter/chargers that enable the conversion of battery bank’s 24 volts to 120-volts for appliance use. With a generator on, or connected to shore power, the MagnaSines switch automatically to charging mode and replenish the “house” battery bank.

The boat has two 30 KW Northern Light generators either one of which running alone is sufficient to power all the boat’s electrical demands, even with clothes dryer, the convection oven, the refrigerator, the freezers and the air conditioner running simultaneously.

The boat has two 50-Amp shore power leads, on the bow and one on the stern, each with a 100-foot cable. Each cable is extended and retracted automatically by means of its own Glendenning Cable Master. Each cable connects to its down isolation transformer which then feeds into its own Comar Electric AutoShore 50 Amp/ 120V-240V power booster.

The boat also has two Phase 3 battery chargers, one for the main engine starting batteries and one for the generator starting batteries.

·         2 Northern Lights Lugger 30KW generators: #1 w/1392 hours; #2 with 1394 hours (7/14/14)

Sea Lion’s lazarette and freezer hold occupy space which, on the fish boats that were once built in this hull form, contained large fish storage tanks and freezers.  On Sea Lion, these spaces provide commodious storage.

The freezer hold hatch and the two outboard lazarette hatches each have a hydraulic ram which permits their opening and closing hydraulically at the flip of a toggle switch. The center lazarette hatch must be opened and closed by rotating the permanently mounted aft deck dining table.

The boat also carries a full set of nylon snap-in-place window covers for all weather deck windows.  The boat carries aluminum storm covers for the portlights.

The Delta 70 is the iconic trawler yacht.  Its hull form is that used by Delta Marine to build 70-foot Alaskan crabbers.  ZOEPILOTE (today, TATU). Built in the early 1980’s for renowned yachtsman Bruce Kessler, was the first Delta 70.  It was Delta’s first yacht.  Prior to ZOEPILOTE , Delta exclusively built fishing boats for the Alaskan fishery.  After ZOEPILOTE , only four more Delta 70s were built, including THUNDER(now, SEA LION). The last was OASIS, built for Cliff Rome.  After OASIS, Delta built larger and larger yachts and today is acknowledged by many to be the finest yacht builder in America.

With her Alaskan crabber, full-keel, hull (6” thick at the turn of the bilge), with a 12’ skeg designed to support the weight of the boat sitting on the bottom, Sea Lion has proven sea keeping ability, and with her large fuel capacity, power generating capacity and water making capacity, she has inter-continental range and expedition self-sustainability.

Sea Lion’s interior has been transformed into a beautiful and fully functional living space.  The finest materials and the best craftsmen were used to give her a feeling of comfort, warmth and durability throughout.  The refit covered mechanical, personal features and systems but also made her more liveable.  The enclosed aft deck is a gathering space, a space where you can interact with guests and watch the cruise as you travel.  The flybridge is also another area that is fully designed for viewing your travels.  Sea Lion is a small ship that can go anywhere and take her owner and guests there in safety and comfort.

At 70 feet, with a 10½ foot draft, Sea Lion is roomier than many boats half her length.  Yet she is just small enough so that she can be owner-operated, and just large enough to justify a one- or two-person crew.

AS she lies today, she is fully found, and ready to sail to any destination in the world, or to cruise leisurely up the Inside Passage.  She is a truly unique trawler yacht.
