Accommodations

The large pilothouse has the navigation station with captain's chair to starboard. Behind the navigation station are two additional seats with a large cabinet/table with drawers between them. To port is a long settee with a table. The large pilothouse windows are tempered glass with tinted inserts which keep the boat cooler and provide additional privacy. There is excellent 360 degree visibility.

Down three steps and forward is a second salon/galley/dining area. The galley is to port. A counter with sinks extends from forward to aft near the centerline creating a wraparound galley but still leaving plenty of room for the settee and table to starboard. On the aft port side extending under the pilothouse is a workshop with a large workbench. (This is a significant improvement - the area was originally designed as a crew's quarters). The workbench has a vice, drill press and lots of storage. The workroom also provides easy access to the engine room.

Forward of the lower salon is a head with a stall shower and vanity, and the forward cabin which has a queen pullman to port and a seat, dressing table and vanity and hanging lockers to starboard.

The owners cabin is aft with a large centerline walkaround double berth. There is also a large curved settee further aft, hanging lockers to port and starboard, and a private head with a stall shower and a bathtub (another unusual feature on this boat).

The entire interior is done in teak with marble countertops and brass appointments. There is an incredible amount of storage throughout the boat. A major upgrade is the 16,000 BTU custom AquaAire forced air, three zone air conditioning and heating system. There is a screen kit for the ports and headroom in the salon and much of the rest of the boat is 6' 6". Just two examples of the care and thoroughness of the current owner are the interior lights which have been changed to halogen and which now have dimmer switches and the fact that all the storage compartments have been lined with dry deck material.

Galley

Of the 15 Hans Christian pilothouses only this one and one other were designed with the galley down. This really opens up the pilothouse, makes cooking at sea easier and safer, and gives the cook much more room to work. The countertops are black and white marble with brass hardware and fixtures, and there is a deep double sink with hot and cold pressurized water, a large refrigerator with both top and side loading doors, a three burner stainless steel Seaward propane stove with oven and a built-in microwave oven. There is fantastic counterspace and lots of storage. There is also an additional very large freezer under the settee in the pilothouse.

Deck and Hull

The hull is made of hand-laid fiberglass with teak cap and rubrails with stainless steel strikers. It is extemely rugged, one of the strongest hulls ever built. With teak decks, a full keel, the pilothouse, ratlins and all the brass and stainless fittings she has all the feel of a modern-day North Sea trawler/motorsailer.

Besides the inside steering station there is a wheel in the aft cockpit. A platform has been added which wraps around the stern and effectively adds three feet to the cockpit, making an area which was somewhat cramped into a very comfortable seating area. The pilothouse has teak decking on top, which is unique, but a very sensible safety precaution considering how often people climb on the cabin top. The bottom paint was last done a couple of years ago and the bottom was reported to be in excellent condition at that time.

The anchor chain is normally carried in a storage area at the bottom of the boat, but there is also a large chain locker in the forepeak for temporary storage when anchoring, as well as a separate large sail locker. There are new weather cloths with leather trim, canvas covers for everything, and hanging canvas storage bags for lines, etc. all around the exterior.

Sails and Rigging

Traditional cutter-ketch rig. The running rigging has been designed for singlehanding. All halyards are run to the cockpit, the main, mizzen and club-foot staysail have lazy cradles for folding and stowing sails (installed in 1997) and there is a new Pro-Furl roller furling system on headsail. Additional sails include a spinnaker and new drifter. All other sails are in very good condition and were resewn and reconditioned in 1997, with little use since. The main and head sail have the cross of Malta in red and black. The main has full battens and there are two mast-mounted spinnaker poles. The ratlins were installed two years ago.

Engine and Mechanical

130 hp Isuzu diesel. Hours are unknown. (There are over 3000 hours on the hour meter but it has been reported that the ignition key had been left on by previous owner and the hour meter ran.) The top end and the transmission was rebuilt in 1994. The current owner also went through the engine completely in 1997 and it is in excellent condition. Dual fuel system with dual filters and fuel transfer pump, salt water washdown system. Ground tackle includes 300 feet of chain, 300 feet of rode and three anchors.

There is a Muir Cheetah (Austrailian) windlass with rose and chain gypsies, HRO Systems SYSTEM 6 200 gallon per day watermaker, four person inflatable liferaft, Achilles inflatable with 8 hp Suzuki outboard, hard dingy with sailing kit and cruise&carry 1 hp outboard engine. There are four separate bilge pumping systems. Besides electric and manual pumps, the sea water washdown system and the engine water pump can both be quickly switched over to pump the bilge. Sayes autopilot wind vane on transom.
