I. Hull & deck – exterior general:

The main deck is laid in teak, setting a warm tone for stainless steel integral rollers and a chain stopper that secure 250 feet of galvanized 3/8" chain driven by a MAXWELL hydraulic RC12-12 windlass and paired with a single stainless steel 120 lb anchor. Heavy-duty 316 stainless steel handrails and stanchions complement equally robust 316 stainless steel cleats and fairleads, while medium tinted safety glass and stainless steel port lights wrap the structure in strength and clarity. A stainless-steel rub rail with rubber insert protects the hull and deck joint, and the pneumatic stainless steel saloon sliding door operates at the touch of a button with safety sensors for assured, effortless access. Aft, twin MAXWELL VC2500 stern capstans (24V, two sets) assist with handling, serving a built-in aft deck seating area with cushions and a matching aft deck table illuminated by LED low-level courtesy lighting on both the side decks and aft deck. Easy movement flows via stairs to the flybridge and a large teak inlay swim platform with a stairway up to the aft deck, further enhanced by a hot and cold transom shower and a stainless steel swim ladder. Forward, a dedicated sunbathing and seating area invites relaxation, while deck fittings for water fill and diesel fill keep service practical and swift. A FLOJET 4325-343L deck washdown pump and a powerful LED cockpit floodlight prepare the yacht for any condition, with canvas covers safeguarding the exterior settee and tables. The bow’s water-resistant sun pad pairs with U-shaped seating for luxurious lounging, and a pristine white gel coat finishes the hull throughout for lasting brilliance.

II. Underwater gear:

Below the waterline, five-blade bronze propellers turn on stainless steel AQUATECH 22HS shafts supported by bronze P-brackets, with Tides rudder seals 3" and Tides shaft seals 3" maintaining watertight integrity. The bottom is protected with anti-fouling treatments including Sea Hawk Primer Systems Tuff Stuff 1284 Grey or 1285 White, overlaid with Sea Hawk self-polishing copolymer antifouling Cukote 3445 Black or 3430 Dark Blue. A 3" boot top stripe can be specified in black, blue, or red, while dual HUMPHREE Interceptor trim tabs H750 provide precise attitude control. A full cathodic bonding system ties to zinc anodes, and seawater strainers safeguard engines, genset, and air-conditioning. Seacocks are fitted on all underwater fittings, and the underwater exhaust system keeps operations smooth and quiet.

III. Skylounge:

The skylounge welcomes with a teak helm area for assured footing and a plush carpeted lounge area, fronted by an instrument console, a leather sofa with a coffee table, and a U-LINE combo refrigerator/ice maker that keeps refreshments perfectly chilled. The helm is empowered by a comprehensive GARMIN suite: dual GPSMAP 8617 fully-integrated multi-touch MFDs, a GMI 20 marine instrument display, a GMR Fantom 4'/40W/72NM solid-state open-array radar, a GARMIN VHF 210 marine radio, a GARMIN AIS 600 Class B transceiver, a GHP 20 marine autopilot system with SmartPump, and a GARMIN GSD 25 marine network sounder 2kW. Navigation is refined by a rudder indicator and a magnetic compass, with stainless steel guard rails and grab rails providing security, and dual SPEICH Nautic Type LP wipers clearing the view. Low-level courtesy lights (24V), a PAR 60010-2024 24V search light, and a BUELL air horn enhance safety at all hours, while twin BESENZONI P217 24V helm seats, a stainless steel steering wheel, and a pop-up TV cabinet with a VIZIO M322I-B1 32" 1080p LED LCD HDTV elevate comfort and control.

Entertainment is rich and immersive with a FUSION stereo system. In the skylounge, the MS-AV700i DVD/receiver with FUSION Link drives MS-CL602 6" marine ceiling-mount speakers x 2, complemented by an MS-BT200 Bluetooth adapter module for the Sirius port. Aft on the flybridge, the MS-RA205 receiver/media player with full iPod/iPhone control powers MS-FR7021 7" 260-watt speakers x 3 (grilles included), again paired with an MS-BT200 Bluetooth adapter module for the Sirius port. Apple TV brings streaming to life, a CCTV system with four cameras (engine room, saloon door, aft deck port and starboard) provides confident oversight, and a full ship-set of LED navigation lights completes the command.

IV. Engine propulsion & engine room equipment:

Power comes from twin CATERPILLAR C-18 ACERT 1150HP engines matched to ZF 550IV gear boxes, protected by engine dual RACOR filters and a generator RACOR filter that keep fuel impeccably clean. The engine room is thoroughly soundproofed, planned for space and service with diamond-pattern deck plates, and supported by fuel tanks with BEP electric sending units and an automatic SEA-FIRE fire extinguisher. Ventilation and visibility are assured by an engine room air intake system, AC fluorescent lights, and DC dome lights. Bilge safety and serviceability excel with a HENDERSON BP0510 manual bilge pump and a high-volume AC fresh water pressure pump backed by a 24V DC pump—specifically a HEADHUNTER MARCH 5 M5-115 AC pump and a GROCO PSR 4000004-24 24V DC pump.

Climate control is delivered by chilled water air conditioning via CRUISAIR units with 48,000 BTU compressors x 2, while autonomy at sea is supported by a SEA RECOVERY 700 GPD water maker x 1 and an oil changing pump for engines, generator, and clutches. Shipboard power is anchored by an ONAN MDKDS 29kW 60Hz generator x 1, with hot water on demand from SEAWARD HF2250 20-gallon water heaters x 2. For environmental compliance, a 600 GPD HEADHUNTER sewage treatment system completes the specification.

V. Electrical:

A robust 110V/220V AC electrical system pairs with a DC 24V system to power every facet of life aboard, supported by twin 70' GLENDINNING Cable Master CM7 50A units for seamless shore-power handling. Dedicated battery chargers serve both 24V and 12V circuits, complemented by an alternator split charging system. Energy reserves include 255AMP/HR GELL CELL sealed batteries for ship service x 4, 255AMP/HR GELL CELL sealed batteries for engines x 4, and a 210AMP/HR GELL CELL sealed battery for the genset x 1. AC sockets are distributed throughout the boat with GFI protection where required, and a battery selector switch and a main electrical panel with AC and DC circuit breakers centralize control. Two 50AMP automatic isolating and booster transformers stabilize incoming power, an anti-electrolysis bonding system preserves underwater metals, and a 4kW inverter x 1 extends silent power availability.

VI. Mechanical and plumbing system:

Onboard systems are engineered for reliability, beginning with a holding tank with macerator pump and a holding tank level indicator for precise monitoring. Dedicated sump pumps service showers, while marine-grade lines feed the fresh water system from a stainless steel water tank with sending unit holding 260 gallons. Fuel is stored in an aluminum tank with sending unit at 1130 gallons, with sight gauges for both fuel and water tanks. A dockside fresh water inlet speeds turnaround, and color-coded piping simplifies identification. Bronze intake valves secure all thru-hull fittings, and an overboard discharge manifold minimizes the number of thru-hull penetrations. The SEALAND fresh water vacuum toilet system ensures dependable sanitation, and high water bilge alarms monitor six areas. Rule 3700 bilge pumps (24V) x 6 keep the bilges dry, while bow and stern hydraulic thrusters enhance close-quarters handling and “at rest” stabilizers elevate comfort at anchor.
