Construction

RCD Status: Our understanding is that the yacht is exempt from the essential safety requirements of the Recreational Craft Directive as she was built and placed into use within the EU prior to 1998.

Hull, Deck & Superstructure Construction:

• The underwater area is finished in red commercial antifouling with a white gloss boot top.
• Cathodic protection is provided by a pair of 200mm hull anodes through-bolted to bonding cable connecting engines, P-brackets, props and prop shafts, rudders, and bronze skin fittings.
• Collar anodes are fitted to the prop shafts and dedicated anodes to the SPURS rope cutters.
• The deck to hull edge is protected with the distinctive Nelson heavy duty black rubber D-fendering.

Electrical Systems

Voltage Systems:

• 24V electrical DC ships supply.
• The bow thruster circuit is protected by an overload fuse and control switch. This compartment is vented by the bilge ventilation system and fire protection is provided via a fire port situated between the two V-berths.

Battery Banks:

• 8 x 115Ah lead acid batteries installed aft in the engine room in 2 banks (Bank 1 stbd, Bank 2 Port) connected in series-parallel to give 24V supply. Boat functions are split between the 2 banks.
• Engine starting - port engine Bank 2, stbd engine Bank 1, with battery combining switch in main battery fuse box operated by push button on the instrument panel at the lower helm.
• Generator starting is via a 12V dedicated starting battery with isolation switch, independent of the main battery banks. When running, the generator battery is charged as normal by its own alternator.
• Bow thruster powered by a pair of 12V batteries connected in series and fitted under the forward cabin berth in a dedicated battery box.

Battery Chargers:

• 16mm charging feed for the bow thruster battery banks re-routed the from the windlass circuit to main battery bank breaker #1 so that bow thruster batteries are charged via the Durite split charge whenever battery bank #1 is switched on (2024).
• 2018 Victron Centaur charger (which had an internal short) changed for the more up to date Victron Phoenix Smart 5-step charger (2024).
• To avoid self-discharge during prolonged periods of inactivity, there is a Victron Orion 24V to 12V battery-to-battery charger supplying the gen. set battery from the main port battery bank.
• The bow thruster battery bank is charged via a 24V-to-24V split charge relay connected to a 35mm fore and aft cable feed to the windlass and controlled by a 70A breaker on the 24V DC panel.

Alternators:

• Alternator fitted to each engine.

Generator:

• G&M 4.2Kva generator set is installed within a sound insulated steel casing at the aft end of the engine room.
• This is powered by a Volvo 2001 direct raw water-cooled single cylinder diesel engine and generates 230V AC at a fixed 3000rpm.
• Fuelled from the aft keel tank.
• Cooling is via a dedicated generator seacock on the port side and the wet exhaust system incorporates a Vetus water lock, muffler, and gooseneck, discharging through the starboard topside at the waterline.

Shore Power:

• Shore power inlet by upper helm station, with cable.
• 240V AC ring main with outlets throughout.

Plumbing Systems

Fresh Water & Water Heating System:

Tankage

• Colour coded and labelled fuel inlets (red) are on the port and starboard side decks, and a colour coded water inlet (blue) is in the port side deck.

Fuel:

• Two in-line 100-gallon GRP keel tanks are moulded into the vessel, situated between engine bearers.
• Each engine is independently supplied by its own dedicated keel tank – port engine: port keel tank, stbd engine: stbd keel tank.
• These keel tanks are gravity fed by elevated 115-gallon port and starboard tanks in the aft cabin (wing tanks) with the fuel feed controlled by appropriate isolation and cross-pipe valves.
• The aft tanks are filled via dedicated labelled fillers (colour coded red), situated in the port and starboard side decks, and connected to the port and starboard aft tanks only.
• In this way, the fuel supply to each engine can be maintained as an independent system, reducing the risk of inadvertent fuel contamination simultaneously to both engines.
• All tanks are fitted with tank breathers, opening to the aft topside port and starboard.
• The fuel system pipework is copper and fuel grade hose with a substantial Racor filter/fuel separator to each engine, with a fuel gauge to each tank.
• There are a further two engine mounted fuel filters per engine, connected in series.
• Fuel tank covers/senders lifted to check fuel levels (2024).
• 4 x Fuel gauges recalibrated to read correctly – keel tanks now full as far as 2 cm from top; aft cabin tanks ½ way on dipstick, i.e approx. 30% full. (2024).

Fresh Water:

• Freshwater capacity in 2 tanks – 1,000 litre total capacity.
• Two GRP freshwater tanks (154 and 80 gallons) are moulded into the forward bilge under the galley and forward cabin sole.
• These are filled via a labelled and colour coded (blue) filler cap in the port forward side deck and vented through the port forward topside.
• The tanks are connected to a 24V Cleghorn Waring Maxi System pressurised pump and accumulator bank which supplies the hot and cold-water circuits throughout the boat.
