The yacht was developed with a 24VDC electrical system, which in turn supports a 48 VDC bow thruster and several 12 VDC navigation systems. The HVAC system, refrigerator and electric oven require 110 VAC service and the washer/dryer utilize 220 VAC. There are several battery chargers as part of the overall electrical system: the main battery charger serves the house batteries. A separate charger is dedicated to the engine cranking batteries. In addition to fore and aft shore power connections, the vessel has a 5000 watt Mastervolt inverter that converts DC current into AC power. Additionally, there are two DC-to-DC transformers that reduce 24 VDC to 12 VDC which is required to power the navigation systems and one DC-to-DC step up transformer that increases 24VDC power to 48 VDC to power the electric variable-speed Westmar bow thruster.
Each engine has two alternators; a small alternator that produces DC power that goes directly to the engine cranking batteries, each engine has its own Lifeline AGM battery, and a large 170 AMP alternator that supplies DC power to the house batteries.
The eight 8-D house batteries, GPL 8's DL, in turn supply power to the bow thruster batteries and the navigation back-up battery by means of DC-to-DC transformers and/or converters. A separate generator charger is dedicated to the Genset and controlled by a breaker switch in the center right AC breaker panel labeled Genset charger. There are also four bow thruster batteries devoted solely to

BROKER'S COMMENTARY
SACHUEST was built over a four-year period as a custom project for an experienced New England yachtsman, and conceived to be, without question, the best yacht of its class. Extreme attention was devoted to details, advantageous to the owner. Cold molded construction was chosen for its superior strength, longevity, sound and insulative properties and ability to hold a high-quality finish.
Rolls Royce waterjets and a technologically advanced JetStick control system make this yacht efficient underway and easy to maneuver in tight marinas and access to shallow areas. SACHUEST was designed in the downeast, New England style and is an superbly attractive, seaworthy motor yacht. Her interior is comfortable and oriented to family-style cruising.
Anyone looking for an almost-new, top-quality, high-tech cruising yacht with a traditional appearance would benefit from a close look at this rare piece of art.
