MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL & SYSTEMS
The
standard engine is the Isuzu Marine 4LB35 35hp diesel with twin alternators(separate
charging of engine and domestic battery bank), Newage PRM 120 gearbox with
Vetus 'dry run' stern gland. The engine space is fitted with a 12v automatic
bilge pump with manual override switch. For those who frequently cruise on
fast flowing navigations an optional upgrade to the 42hp engine is available.
12v power is provided by 1 x 110ah battery
dedicated to the engine, and 3 x 110ah for domestic services (lights pumps
etc.). 12 v outlet in saloon. Main lighting is by way of overhead fluorescent
'2D' lights, with additional wall lights in the saloon, reading lights over
the double bed, combined extractor fan/ light in the bathroom and interior
lighting in the galley display cupboard.
The boat is wired for 240v with brass
twin sockets in the bedroom galley (2) and saloon. RCD and MCB circuit protection
with conventional exterior hook up socket. If required a 1500w or 3000w inverter
can be fitted as an option.
Cabin heating is provided by a Mikuni
diesel fired central heating boiler with radiators in the bedroom, saloon
and galley, and a heated towel rail / radiator in the bathroom. Hot water
is provided from a calorifier (hot water tank) which can be heated by the
Mikuni, or by the engine. (The engine heats a full tank of water in 15 - 20
minutes. Think of that the next time you are on a motorway!). And should it
get really cold there is also a solid fuel stove in the saloon.
INTERIOR
The
interior of the hull is fully insulated with sprayfoam.
The cabin linings are in varnished oak veered
panelling, with solid oak trim. This creates a warm and light interior with
materials that have been time proved for the sometimes harsh conditions of
boats. At some point or another everyone forgets to pull the slide closed
in a rain shower!
The floors are fully carpeted, with the exception
of the galley which has a solid pine varnished floorboards, and the bathroom
which is in vinyl. Lined curtains are hung at the windows on brass rails with
brass 'holdbacks'.
There are several colour co-ordinated interior
schemes from which to chose, which includes the carpeting, curtains, work
surfaces and tiling.
The saloon can be fitted with several options.
A dinette can be provided which is designed to convert into a double berth
for 'guest' use. The format can be 'L' shaped (1 long and 1 short seat at
right angles), or 'Pullman' style (2 seats opposite). Also hanging space can
be augmented with two full height wardrobes against the forward bulkhead each
side of the front doors.
LAYOUT

cabin aft. The boat is laid out as below, starting from the rear entry.
