Overview

Arethusa has been professionally maintained since at least 2000. She features teak decks, cockpit seat tops and grates (all new in 2006), a refaired hull (2008), and new Awlgrip on topsides and spars (2012).  Yanmar 53 HP diesel and saildrive (both new in 2014).  Full galley featuring double stainless sinks with new faucet and spray head (2018); stainless and gimballed three burner propane stove and oven, and 2 Seafrost engine-driven refrigerators. The interior teak joinery is finished in rubbed varnish, with removable teak and holly floor boards and a custom drop-leaf table that comfortably seats six.  She sleeps up to 9 in three separate sleeping cabins and the main saloon. All interior cushions were replaced and reupholstered with ultra-suede. Two Raritan heads with newer holding tanks and one shower, good-sized hanging locker, and numerous other storage lockers throughout.  She is well-equipped for cruising and racing, and can be easily single-handed.

The forward cabin has a double berth with below-berth storage, two storage lockers above, and an opening hatch.  Aft to port is the main head, with sink, handheld shower, storage lockers, mirror, opening hatch, and floor sump-pump.  Aft to starboard is a hanging locker with a shelf above.

Next aft is the main saloon, featuring: to starboard, a straight settee (single berth with lee cloth), storage areas behind the settee, two storage lockers above, and a book shelf with storage for wine bottles; a U-shaped settee to port that converts to a double berth, with storage areas behind, two storage lockers above, and another bookshelf; custom drop-leaf table is on the centerline, and has a locker for bottles; opening hatch above; and gimballed oil lanterns on the bulkheads.

The L-shaped galley is port-side aft of the saloon, with good counter space, stainless steel refrigeration box, a large storage locker above for dishes and provisions, a smaller locker below the gimballed Techpics three burner stove and oven, and another locker below the sinks.  There is a Xintex S2A propane/CNG detector/switch/alarm.  Pressurized hot (Nautic boiler with 6 gallon hot water tank) and cold water in the galley and both heads.

Next aft to starboard is the second head and a cabin with double berth and storage, with privacy doors. Port side aft is another cabin, with two bunkbed-type berths, another refrigeration box, and storage.

There are five opening ports, and six fixed ports, for excellent ventilation throughout the cabin.

The engine compartment is located on the centerline behind the companionway steps, with access panels on all four sides of the engine.

Hull, Deck and Cockpit

The hull is made of hand laid solid fiberglass with flanged hull-deck joints, and grid-style stringers and partitions. The topsides, cabin sides, mainmast and boom were repainted with Awlgrip in 2012.  The deck is the decks is fiberglass with a balsa core, and a teak overlay that was new in 2006.  There are two large opening hatches, and two stainless steel cowl vents provide good ventilation below.  Stainless steel standing rigging has been inspected and maintained annually.

The mast has a roller–furling mainsail system that is controlled from the cockpit, for easy single-handed sailing.
