Yacht Introduction & Build Description

An opportunity offering a rare chance to own a one-of-a-kind custom blue water cruiser. 'Heartbeat' is a Bermuda 52 offshore sloop, built in 1998 by McConaghy yachts in Sydney (considered at her build time to be Sydney's highest quality sailing yacht builder and remains a renowned name today)
The boat is a Chuck Paine design. The design bears similarity to the Apogee 50, built by Able Marine and also the Morris 51, by Morris Yachts. The first owner visited Able Custom Yachts three times for design inspiration. Rather than import from America though, he decided to build at home a slightly larger yacht of epoxy rather than vinylester and improve the quality and strength in build by opting to go custom.

Heartbeat (previously known as 'Enterprise') is constructed of very high-tech epoxy composites. The hull is constructed using West Epoxy over E-glass with Kevlar at the strike points and has a balsa core sandwich hull and foam sandwich deck. The differences between this design and the Apogee 50, is that Heartbeat has a broader,more powerful stern quarters, a slightly deeper draft keel and consequently can support a taller sail plan.The cockpit pilothouse shelter is positioned further aft, enabling side by side upholstered seats to be fitted on each side beneath the protective roof. An aft bimini has been fitted to add further protection from the elements.

The main design brief of the Bermuda 52 was to build a yacht that could go anywhere in comfort with one or two couples aboard and do so at good speed. Heartbeat is the epitome of this design brief. The lighter epoxy construction increases sail and speed performance and the boat has performed well in past COA Macau races. 
A viewing of such a high quality specialised build is highly recommended

Maintenance & Servicing Work Details

A list of the major work the current owner has done since owning the yacht:

All of the instruments replaced in 2008 after a lightning strike including:
B&G Hercules computer replaced and H3000 GPD and FFD at the nav station and a GPD and GFD at the helm.
Furuno Vx2 at the Nav station with a 15” screen repeater under the Hard Dodger (controllable using a remote controller and viewable from the helm.

Installed 2 X 220 VAC Air conditioners at Raffles Marina in Singapore

Painted and teak deck replaced in Thailand 2008-2009

“P” bracket replaced in 2009. The original did not have a zinc for corrosion protection, replaced with custom designed one by Chuck Paine and built in the US. It has a zinc to protect it.

Satcom mini C installed in 2010

Rudder bearings changed to JEFA roller bearings. The original Glide bearings made the steering very stiff after being hard on the wind for a while. The steering is so light now that most helmsmen tighten up the wheel brake to prevent them from oversteering.

Installed a Karver KSF 5 continuous line top down furling system to furl the Code Zero and a Spinnaker

Sept 2013 removed the mast and had it repainted and all fittings and rod rigging inspected and dye tested.
