Accommodations

Below, the V-berth welcomes with fitted cushions and an overhead bulkhead shelf, while an access door above grants entry to the forepeak locker. To port, a Jabsco manual head—new in 2024—conceals neatly under the berth and is plumbed to a holding tank with a Y-valve for proper management. The compact galley is intelligently arranged with an Origo two-burner alcohol stove set over a storage locker with an enclosed locker above, and a single stainless steel sink delivers pressurized hot and cold water with a shelved locker below and an enclosed locker above for organized stowage.

Electronics

Command and situational awareness are assured by a Garmin 840 XS GPS/plotter paired with HD radar, all new in 2018, complemented by a Horizon VHF and a precise Ritchie compass for dependable navigation in all conditions.

Electrical system

The yacht is wired with a 12 volt DC/110 volt AC electrical system with dedicated switch panels, supported by a 100 volt/30 amp shore inlet for convenient dockside service. Engine and house battery banks—entirely renewed in 2024—provide robust reserves, while a battery charger installed in 2025 keeps the system properly maintained.

Engine/mechanical

Power is delivered by a Yanmar 250 hp four-cylinder diesel, model 4LV 250, installed new in 2025 and showing only 30 hours, with smooth control via Morse engine controls and a matching engine panel at the helm (2025). Propulsion has been further refreshed with a new propeller and drive shaft (2025), while filtration is handled by a Racor fuel filter. Manoeuvrability and ride comfort are elevated by a Sidepower bow thruster (2023) and a Zipwake system for dynamic roll and trim control (2025). Fresh water is pressurized, supplemented by a 4-gal hot water heater and an aft hot/cold shower, with a saltwater washdown for quick cleanups. A Rule automatic bilge pump stands guard for reliable dewatering.

Cockpit

The helm is outfitted with Pompanette helm and passenger seats, their cushions renewed in 2022, with a handy storage locker tucked beneath the port-side seat. Additional comfort comes from fully cushioned engine hatch seating (2022) and a full-width transom seat with supportive backrest cushions (2022), while boarding steps with mounting options to port and starboard make coming and going effortless.

Hull, deck and misc

Her Awlgrip Flag Blue hull, refinished in 2024 with a white cove stripe, a crisp boot stripe, and a red bottom, gleams alongside a rub rail at the shear capped with a stainless striker. Varnished teak defines the windshield, handrails, cabin nosing, toe rails, and cockpit trim, all exterior brightwork having been stripped and built back with eight coats of new varnish in 2023. The custom teak helm station presents warm craftsmanship under a Stamoid bimini top with side curtains, assisted by windshield sunscreens for comfort at anchor or underway. A swim platform with a drop-down swim ladder and a stainless bow rail enhance safety and access. On deck, there is one Bomar deck hatch and four Bomar opening ports in the cabin, plus a teak anchor pulpit with roller. Ground tackle includes a Delta 15 lb anchor with rode and chain. Safety and gear inventory features four PFDs, flares, docklines, three covered fenders, two fire extinguishers, and a varnished ensign pole.
