Electrical system
The 120 volt dock power runs through a galvanic isolator system and to plenty of interior outlets. The battery charger is a Pro-Natic 12-30 P by ProMariner, about 2013, will also operate on EU power of 220 volt, 50 cycle.
The 12 volt system has (3) deep-cycle batteries (100 amp-hrs each, new in 2021) for the house, and a Group 29 starter battery (2019.) The engine alternator charges the starter battery first; the solar panels charge the house batteries first, but they both run through a Blue Seas combiner-isolator so all batteries are charged from either source. Solar panels on the Pilot House roof (about 2015) are three 100 watt units. The controller is a Xantrex C60, which has plenty of capacity to add a wind generator.
Nav lights and anchor light at top of mast are LED's except the steaming/ deck light, and all of the cabin lights are LED. New teak light fixtures in 2021.
Other equipment/ details:
The compass is a Danforth Constellation, rebuilt in about 2013, looks like new. Engine and other instruments, alarms, controls at the steering station.
The steering system is hydraulic with twin slave cylinders in the lazarette. The cylinders were rebuilt in 2016 and 2023. All hoses replaced from 2016 to 2020. There is a rudder position indicator at the steering station.
A marine band/ FM radio/ CD player is in the pilothouse.
Forward hatch has Oceanair retractable screen and shade. Portholes have screens. Opening sliding windows in the pilot house have screens. The door has two hanging screens.
Deck washdown pump and hose for cleaning anchor and rode.
Sails and rigging:
All of the working sails were replaced by 2015, starting with the mainsail in 2009, the roller jib in 2013, the mizzen in 2015. The aluminum bowsprit was installed in 2013, and the furler is a CDI Flexible Furler 7.0. With the roller jib, the total sail area is 552 sq-ft, not including the (hank-on) working jib. There is also a storm trysail and hank-on storm jib, hardly used at all. Brown sail covers for the main and mizzen. Spare mizzen sail. Running rigging is in good condition, with some spare lines.
The standing rigging was reported to have been replaced in 2002, and there are Sta-lock fittings top and bottom. The 1/4" stainless rigging is still in good shape, with the roller jib stay new in 2013, and the backstay replaced in 2016. The staysail/ working jib is on a detachable Solent stay with heavy-duty "Highfield" lever and release pin.
Aluminum main mast has permanent aluminum steps.
Groundtackle and gear:
Rocna 44# with about 160 feet of BB 3/8" chain. This anchor is on the bow. Chain drops down a tube from the windlass to the forward bilge.
Fortress Guardian, G-23 with 30' of 3/8" chain, 100' of 7/8" nylon rode. This anchor is also on the bow. The line rode runs through a deck plate.
CQR 45# as a spare/ second, on the forward deck.
Danforth standard, 85#, "hurricane anchor" with 33' of 1/2" chain, another 100' of 7/8" nylon; all stowed in the port cockpit locker.
More information and notes:
All major safety systems have been serviced or replaced, including the cutlass bearing, through hull fittings, and hoses.
There may be a few items not listed, but includes pfd's, fire extinguishers, emergency signals, plenty of lines and fenders, swim ladder, man-overboard sling, canvas shades, cockpit cover, etc. Can include tools and spares to take care of almost any issue. There is even a spare propeller (that came with the boat.) Can include kitchen cutlery if desired.
In 2022, the topsides were refinished extensively, meaning all the old paint was removed to the gel coat, sanded smooth, filled, sanded and painted with 2-part primer, sanded again, and given one or two coats of 2-part finish-- all Interlux Perfection products. It provides an excellent protection layer, and it is an excellent base for the future finishes that may be desired.
