Construction

As hull number 45, this yacht is crafted on a solid-fiberglass hull finished with a Gelcoat H&K high-gloss, UV-resistant surface. The topsides are vacuum-bagged and Airex cored, while a Vinyl-Ester topcoat on both hull and deck provides a dependable osmotic barrier. Below the waterline, longevity and performance are ensured by an Interlux Inter-Protect epoxy bottom barrier coat in light grey paired with Interlux Micron CSC bottom paint. Structural integrity is delivered by a foam-cored fiberglass stringer and composite structural bulkheads, all unified by a one-piece, fully cored, unitized deckhouse. Practical durability completes the build with heavy-duty non-skid applied to all flat surfaces.

Systems

Climate on board is mastered by an Aqua Air 60,000 Btu chilled water air conditioning system delivering both A/C and heat through reverse cycle operation, featuring a quiet rotary compressor, a soft start inverter system, and a zoned system with electronic thermostats, complemented by an underwater discharge water outlet, inline silencers on ducts, and a condensate discharge system. The freshwater system is equally robust, with a 24 VDC 60 PSI water pump supplying a 285-gallon 316L stainless steel water tank, an on demand hot water system, and a color coded piping system, plus a city water connection with pressure reducing valve, shut off valves at each fixture, and a hot and cold outlet in the engine room; convenience extends to a freshwater wash down on the foredeck and aft deck, a shower on the aft deck, and a water heater, 30 gallons with engine coolant heat exchanger. For extended autonomy, a Sea Recovery 800 GPD water maker includes freshwater flush, a UV filter, an oil/water separator, a commercial pre filter, and a plankton filter. The head system employs Headhunter jet type heads feeding a 125 USG FRP holding tank, supported by a head pump 24 VDC 60 PSI, a 10-gallon accumulator tank, a holding tank pump 24 VDC, and a deck pump-out with valve, with separate systems for the crew head. An Electra Sea System marine installation provides automated anti-fouling protection that prevents barnacles, biofilm, and marine growth in the raw-water circuits through smart flow monitoring, automated control units, and electro chlorination cells. Daily upkeep is simplified by a central vacuum with power brush and tools.

Sound package

This yacht’s comprehensive sound package begins with engine beds constructed with high-density foam cores and engine exhaust routed underwater through vectored cowls. The engine room is lined with two-inch, double-density sound foam with an integral barrier, while insulation wraps are applied to engine mufflers and piping, and sound-barrier tiles are positioned in strategic locations. Acoustic thermal performance is further enhanced with 3M Thinsulate. Generator noise is tamed by improved sound shields, installation on secondary isolation mounts, and underwater discharge, and all pumps and motors are likewise mounted on secondary isolation mounts. Air conditioning systems discharge water underwater and employ silencers on the ducts for hushed airflow. Privacy and quiet prevail throughout thanks to bulkhead insulation between the master and guest staterooms and sound-down absorbing pads beneath the carpet.
