Marten Yachts 66 C/R

ICON is now back on the market as her present owner for the last 5 years has decided to reluctantly sell her. Built in New Zealand by Marten yachts to a Bob Perry design, ICON has given her (now 2) owners years of enjoyment both on the race course as well as some of the fabled cruising grounds in the Pacific North West of the United States. She was years ahead of her time for the ultimate cruiser racer.  Two cabins, with an owners cabin forward, both with ample room, a very well appointed galley, and a  full sit down navigation table with many updated electronics.   Heater for the cold nights, hot water showers, roller furling  make this a great idea for a couple to cruise short handed with friends.  Lifting keel, some powered winches, all with the idea of going fast with out the need for a lot of crew.  For those who want to compete, her 1st to finish in the 2012 Pacific Cup to Hawaii, and her many firsts in the Swiftsure,  prove she still has all it needs to win sailboat races.  New North 3Di sails, with complete back ups, container full of all the cruising gear, there is not a thing that ICON lacks.   As of October 2014, her asking price has been reduced to  $ 695,000 USD and open to offers. No better time than now to call for the latest information for her

DESCRIPTION

Icon is a 65\' custom carbon fiber yacht designed by the well-known Pacific Northwest naval architect Robert Perry and built by Marten Yachts of New Zealand. Since construction in 2001, Icon has cruised all over the Pacific and has successfully raced in numerous regattas, including the Sydney Hobart race, Hamilton Island Race Week, San Francisco Big Boat Series, Swiftsure, and the van Isle 360 to name a few.

 

Three features distinguish Icon from many other boats - the first is that it is made completely from carbon fiber (hull, rudder, mast and boom); the second is that the interior is nearly completely removable for racing (reducing the weight of the boat by approximately 4000 lbs), and the third is that she has a hydraulic lifting keel which reduces her draft from ~15 feet to 9 feet (making it possible to enter many harbors which otherwise would be inaccessible).

 

Icon weights approximately 27,000 lbs in racing trim (no fuel, sails or stores) and has an upwind sail area of 2,000 sq feet.  Downwind the sail area increases to approximately 5,000 square feet, depending on the flying sail (spinnaker) being used.  When racing Icon carries a full inventory of sails J1 through J5, storm jib & trysail, A0 through A5, plus numerous special-purpose sails.

 

HULL & STRUCTURAL

 

PLUMBING & MECHANICAL

 

TANKAGE

Icon has a 15 gallon day tank, 2x 80 gallon diesel tanks, a 40 gallon aft diesel or kerosene tank, and 2x 100 gallon water tanks.  Fuel can be transferred between the various fuel tanks using a transfer pump and manifold accessible from the aft stateroom.  The main engine and the dual Espar diesel furnaces operate from the day tank.

 

PROPULSION

Icon is powered by a 75hp Yanmar engine coupled with a custom PIYA sail drive and a two speed, three bladed Gori folding propellor.  The main engine control panel and ignition is located in the cockpit along with the throttle & transmission.  The engine has approximately 2500 hours and is electronically integrated into the NMEA 2000 system and can be monitored from the B&G Zeus displays in the cockpit and from the three Maretron displays inside the vessel.  Included with the engine monitoring system is a fuel flow sensor which enables real-time utilization statistics to be displayed on the Zeus displays.

 

HYDRAULICS

Many core systems on Icon are hydraulically activated enabling quick & easy adjustment from inside the cockpit and without complicated block & tackle systems.  These systems are as follows:

 

Central Panel (electric)

The central panel hydraulic system is electrically activated and is used to raise/lower the keel.  The controls associated with this system can be accessed from deck level through the keel trunk.

 

Cockpit (manual)

All manually activated hydraulic systems are accessible from the cockpit and adjusted using a conventional lever arm with assocaited pressure gauges.  The reservoir for the system is located in the aft lazerette.

DECK

 

INTERIOR

 

RIGGING

Icon has a custom Southern Spars 3-spreader mast with EC6+ standing rigging.  Both mast, boom and rigging are made of carbon.

 

ELECTRICAL

Icon has three distinct electrical systems all controlled and monitored from the navigation station -- 110v, 24v and 12v.  The 110v system is fed into the main electrical bus using a SmartPlug 30amp line.  This then feeds the 110v circuits (galley, heads, etc) and a 3000 watt waterproof Outback inverter.  This inverter also serves as a battery charger in addition to a 150amp altenator on the main engine.  The power and electrical characteristics of each of these three systems are available on the NMEA 2000 network and can be displayed on the Zeus or Maretron displays.

 

The DC systems on the boat are fed by two 400 ah AGM batteries which are connected into a 24v and 12v buses.  The 12v section can also be cross connected to the engine start battery.  The 24v system is used to power most core systems on the boat, including all lighting (exclusively LED), refrigeration and keel activation.  The 12v system is used to power vessel electronics and other miscellaneous items.

 

ELECTRONICS

Icon has an extensive racing & cruising electronics package.  The system is comprised of four parts -- a B&G H3000 motion system for sailing instrumentation; a NMEA 2000 system for tankage & electrical systems monitoring; and communications system for wifi, cell & satellite; a MOXA Marine Computer running various software applications (including Expedition):
