12’ x 18’. It incorporates the settee, navigation station, bar and media areas. It
is surrounded from port to starboard by 12 large lexan portlights with teak
trim rings. These provide a panoramic view of the outside. There are removable
black UV covers, on the outside, that remove 80% of the heat from the
sun and closely resemble the portlight appearance. There are two overhead
hatches, the saloon bulkhead picture window w/screen and the entry door for
air circulation. The cabin has 6’ 4” of headroom under the custom headliner
and incorporates 11 individual LED lights grouped into 4 independently
dimmed zones. The headliner is removable for access to wiring, hardware
fasteners, etc.
The large settee/dining area is on the starboard forward side and has custom
designed seat cushions covered in ocean blue fabric which looks and feels like
leather but has superior clean-ability and stain resistance. There are storage
compartments under the seat cushions. Curved teak tables are on both ends of
the settee, one of which contains a small hidden safe. The settee table is multipurpose.
It is solid teak and contains a unique support mechanism. In its closed
position it serves as a large foot stool w/cushion or a cocktail table. When the
table top is pulled up & back it becomes a dining table for two or three. In its
fully open position it is a large table for 6. Underneath the table is a large storage
compartment with double doors.
Navigation Station:
On the port forward side is a custom built navigation/office station. All of the
navigation instruments are displayed on an inclined surface and are within easy
reach. The chart table/work surface is large and easily accommodates charts
and a laptop computer; which the owners’ use for navigational and business
purposes. All power and cabling requirements are readily available. The work
surface is hinged and has a large chart storage area underneath. The wide nav
station seat is removable to reveal the 6-Trojan T105 golf cart batteries making
up the house bank and circuit breakers for the water maker, solar panels, house
panel and windlass. This location keeps the battery weight centrally located
and readily accessible.
Entertainment/Bar Area:
The entertainment/bar area is in the aft port quarter of the cabin and contains a
U-Line 110V ice maker, with a Sea Gull Micro-filter in the water line. It is
built into the cabinets which accommodate cocktail glasses, bar supplies and
liquor bottles. Extra liquor & wine is stored in a cabinet under the galley refrigerator.
The media area contains a Westinghouse 26” widescreen HDTV and HD DVD
player. There is a Jenson 4x40 watt CD, AM/FM radio with dual speakers in
the cabin and cockpit. There is also a XM satellite radio receiver and Delphi
XMSkyFi2 tuner at the navigation station. There is a TV cable & telephone
jack inlet located next to the starboard shore power inlet. To starboard of the
bar area is a media storage shelving area. DVD videos, reference books and
other items can be stored on these shelves.
Cockpit-Layout
The wide cockpit provides space for lounging, sunbathing, sitting around the
cockpit table and helming/crewing the boat. There is 10’ of custom seating
across the back of the cockpit. Under the seats are self-draining storage lockers.
There is a custom designed cockpit table on the port side that folds to
minimize intrusiveness yet can accommodate 6 people. There is red, white and
blue switchable cockpit lighting. The biminis’ polished aluminum frame is
covered with a large navy sunbrella top that spans the entire cockpit. In the
center of the bimini is a rigid panel spanning 4 ft on either side of the boom.
This will support a person furling the main. The top has a clear acrylic window
over the helm station, w/cover, for visual access to the sails. Integrated into the
biminis’ frame are 7 solar panels totaling 620 watts. They are supported several
inches above the top surface for good air circulation. There are four sundowner
curtains that zipper to the back and sides of the bimini to provide shade
to the cockpit area.
There are two large stainless steel wheels, one on the starboard and one on the
port side of the cockpit. Each has a lighted Plastimo Contest 4” steering compass.
The starboard wheel has both engine instrument panels and stop levers as
well as the engine shift and throttle controls. There are B&G wind, speed and
depth instruments, a Horizon RAM VHF microphone and controls for the anchor
windlass. located just to the right of the starboard wheel. There is a two
person helm seat behind the starboard wheel. A Garmin GPSMap 4208 chartplotter
& GPS is mounted to the bimini frame in perfect visual alignment with
the helm. The plotter has G2 Vision electronic charts. There are no engine controls
or electronics at the port wheel as it is used primarily for sailing and close
port maneuvers.
Steering is via cable to both wheels. There is a Raymarine ST6001 auto-pilot
controller by the starboard wheel. It controls a rotary drive motor and sprocket
located on the port wheel shaft inside the cabin bulkhead. The large spade rudders
are designed with break-a-way mechanisms to minimize damage if they
strike an underwater object. Upon impact, the rudder and steering mechanism
pivot upward to reduce damage and allow continued steerage. If the rudder or
shaft is severely damaged the attachment mechanism allows for relatively easy
replacement of the rudder and/or its shaft. The break-a-way feature can also be
easily operated by hand to allow temporary steerage in shallow water situations.
There is an emergency tiller in the seat locker.
