This remarkable vessel, hull 29 of the Grand Alaskan 60-64 Pilothouse series is the latest model of this popular series to be available on the East Coast of the U.S. Her original owners had tremendous input into every aspect of the yacht and committed over $400,000 in options and upgrades above the standard Alaskan 64 specification to equipment, systems, electronics, décor, additions, and so much more. The oversized stabilizers and hydraulic bow thruster, in combination with their many other upgrades, created an extremely stable yacht with great fuel efficiency, comfort, and luxury.

A second, very experienced owner with a professional, full-time captain purchased the yacht in 2005, and immediately launched an extensive program of further improvements. The goal of these efforts was to make this already outstanding vessel dramatically quieter; to enhance space utilization, functionality, and convenience throughout; to increase safety at sea; to support extensive off-shore live-aboard cruising, scuba diving, and entertaining; to simplify routine maintenance; and to enhance the yacht's already excellent aesthetics.

Maintained in better-than-new condition by her live-aboard ex-mega-yacht professional crew, this yacht represents a unique opportunity for this size and quality pilothouse yacht. Lightly used, never chartered, Alaskan 64-029 is now essentially a custom yacht in a production hull, with all the value-retention inherent in a proven and well-known series. For sale far below replacement cost, and only because her owner is building a larger yacht.

Vessel Walkthrough As stated previously, she is hull number 29 of the Grand Alaskan 60-64' Pilothouse Series. The later 64' boats are four feet longer in the main salon and the aft deck/cockpit area and four feet longer in the engine room and lazarette, than the earlier 60' model. In addition, in a few yachts such as #29, the upper flybridge deck was extended aft to create a dramatically larger flybridge/boat deck and fully covered afterdeck area. The 64' Series pilothouse with the extended deck is the most popular model of all theSoutheast Alaskans. #29 is probably the most outstanding yacht of the entire series - in terms of machinery and equipment, performance, functionality, quiet, electronics, exterior and interior aesthetics, and condition. Substantially customized by her two first very experienced owners to far exceed the standard model, she has been continuously maintained by professional crew since new.

Main Deck Exterior From the aft deck/cockpit, there is access through a rear gate to starboard, down molded steps to a fully integrated swim platform. There are three removable U-shaped stainless steel safety rails at the aft edge of the swim platform. The center section of the swim platform lifts to reveal a stainless steel folding swim ladder that deploys easily at the aft end of platform. Also at the swim platform are an exterior hot and cold fresh water shower, storage to port for fins and snorkel gear, a Glendinning cablemaster shore power unit with 80' of cable, a (second) conventional shore power inlet, shore water inlet, and shore telephone and cable-TV hook-ups. The bollards at the aft end of the swim platform are oversized (from the standard 12" to 15") and the stainless safety handrails are upgraded to a larger size. A stainless steel handrail forward of the swim platform facilitates boarding in various tidal situations, and increases safety for swimmers and divers. There are three underwater lights at the transom. Side boarding access to the aft deck is through port and starboard gate doors with overhead stainless steel grab handles for safety and ease of entry. The aft deck area creates an additional living space adjoining the salon, flowing naturally to it through a double door entry. The aft deck is fitted with an easily removed, complete eisenglass enclosure with insect screens, and additional sunscreens to reduce heat and also offer privacy. Above the headliner on the aft deck, a "Soundown" lead and foam sound-absorbent layer reduces engine noise while under way. Overhead lighting in this area was increased and upgraded, and is on dimmers. There is a discretely mounted video camera linked to screens at both helm positions, for monitoring the aft deck and the area behind the yacht. At the aft end of the aft deck is long built-in seating with Sunbrella upholstery and decorative pillows. There is ample deep storage below and a storage cabinet to starboard, as well as speakers for the yacht's stereo system. The high gloss varnished 68" long teak table can be used for dining for up to six, or for casual entertaining. A cabinet to port contains fitted storage for four scuba dive-tanks directly plumbed to an air compressor in the lazarette below. A granite-topped fiberglass cabinet to port forward houses a small fridge/icemaker; a stainless sink; a Glendinning remote control unit with a 20' foot cable for remote docking from the aft deck with throttle, transmission, and bow thruster controls; and a 110-volt outlet. All hawseholes throughout the yacht are oversized and feature rounded integrated cleats. Double hawseholes ahead of the aft side gate doors permit running spring-lines forward without interfering with access to the gates. Two additional hawseholes/cleats aft of the side gate doors are for use with stern lines. Forward of the aft deck, wing doors to port and starboard with upgraded stainless hardware open or close the aft deck to oncoming breeze. Covered walkways and bulwarks extend forward of the wing doors the full length of the salon and pilothouse to the Portuguese Bridge forward, providing protection and safety while moving about the yacht. A custom, seven-step tide-rise Marquipt boarding ladder is mounted on the outboard side of the starboard walkway, and an additional fixed-step ladder for boarding at the pilothouse is stored on the foredeck. The yacht features additional and upgraded courtesy lighting forward on the foredeck and bow, and overhead and stair lighting in the walkways for safety, security, and enhanced appearance. Additional gate doors outboard of the side decks at the pilothouse simplify boarding the yacht at docks higher than the lower gate doors on the aft deck, and an additional stainless ladder is provided specifically for those gates. Aft of the Portuguese Bridge there is storage in several cabinets to port and starboard. There are controls for switching the shore power from forward to aft, with an additional voltmeter and upgraded marine breakers. Forward of the Portuguese Bridge is seating with Sunbrella upholstery, ample storage beneath, shore water, and twin shore-power inlets, and a built in fresh-water hose bib. To port forward on the foredeck, a six-person Switlik Offshore survival life raft and stainless side-boarding ladder are mounted on a custom polished stainless steel cradle with custom covers. There are two anchors - a CQR and a Bruce - for safe anchoring in varied bottom conditions. Forward on the bow deck is the optional hydraulic dual-capstan Maxwell windlass with dual anchor rollers, and opening hatches to twin chain lockers. The stainless steel bow plate to protect the hull from anchor damage is oversized, and the anchor chains (2 X 300') are both marked at 25' intervals. A custom stainless steel brace secures both anchors in the rollers, eliminating all vibration, while at sea. The salt-water wash-down pump in the starboard chain locker was upgraded to a superior Headhunter pump. Tracks are fitted along the full length of both sides of the hull with sliding cars to allow for quick positioning of the fenders without damaging the high-gloss-varnished teak cap rails. Four oversized fenders are stored ready for quick deployment in stainless steel wire baskets welded to the bow stanchions. Heavy grade stainless steel safety rails and stanchions in the bow area are mounted to the bulwarks, and do not touch the high-gloss varnished teak cap rails, both to protect the varnish, and to facilitate maintenance. Vinyl covers are provided for all exterior teak trim, dramatically reducing UV wear on the varnish bright work.

Main Salon From the aft deck, double doors (with a full-height retracting "Phantom" insect screen) lead to the main salon. All salon windows, including in the salon doors, are lined with lightly tinted UV-film to reduce heat and glare in the tropics, and to protect the interior furnishings and carpet. In the starboard aft corner of the salon, the custom entertainment center houses a 27" television/DVD (behind teak accordion doors) at an angle that makes viewing possible from the adjoining galley and all areas of the salon. The entertainment cabinet also houses the Bose stereo system, and provides great storage. The yacht's four-zone Bose sound system permits different choices of music for the salon, pilothouse, flybridge and aft deck at the same time, and remote control from anywhere aboard. Just ahead to starboard are two comfortable chairs and a custom high-low teak cocktail table/desk. Forward of this area to starboard is a "day head" with opening window, custom granite counter and nickel basin, large storage cabinet and VacuFlush toilet. To port aft in the salon is a large, comfortable L-shaped built-in corner seating area. A teak high-low table with opening leaves and matching stools with storage below can be used for comfortable dining for up to eight or for casual entertainment. Forward of this seating area, a custom bar includes a refrigerator, icemaker, liquor storage, custom nickel sink and faucet, and fitted glass storage above. A phone system outlet with landline, cellular, satellite, and intercom access is located to port forward in the bar area, along with 110 volt electric outlets. Custom designer touches in the salon include a swivel rocking chair, padded window valances, teak blinds, three custom nickel plated lighting fixtures, all lighting on dimmers, throw cushions, and much more. A full-length overhead teak handrail and CO2 sensor are mounted on centerline. Bose mini-cube speakers are positioned in each corner of the salon, and the sub-woofer is under the seating. Off-white Ralph Lauren wool broadloom with sound-insulation padding underneath reduces sound from the engines below the salon while under way. All door hardware is upgraded to superior Dutch "Kroon" stainless steel, and the headliner throughout the yacht was upgraded from the standard material.

Galley The spacious galley easily supports entertaining, gourmet cooking, and weeks of offshore cruising, and is supplemented by a large deep-freeze in the lazarette. The galley maximizes space utilization, and all of the galley cabinets have been customized for the dishes, glassware, and other contents to ensure that they won't open even in rough seas. A carbon water filtration system in the galley purifies all water sent to the icemakers, the separate drinking water outlet in the galley, the bar faucet, and the faucets on the flybridge and aft deck. The entire floor area of the galley is finished in a teak and holly sole. A large opening window to port in the galley features an indoor teak window box for a fresh herb or flower garden. The granite aft galley pass-through counter is set slightly above the main galley surface, and provides a raised counter for entertaining, as well as privacy for preparing dishes; it also hides the faucet at the two stainless steel sinks from the salon. The larger galley sink has a built-in electric garbage disposal unit. Aft and outboard of the sinks are two spice cabinets and an appliance garage (with an accordion opening door) that provides great storage. Below this aft counter is a trash compactor, storage under the sink, two separate Fisher & Paykel dishwashers, and a large cabinet for canned goods, jars, spices, etc. The faces of the trash compacter and both dishwasher units are beautifully detailed with teak paneling. Above the full length of this galley counter are china and glass storage cabinets custom-fitted to be easily adjustable for various sizes of dinnerware. The control panel for the galley and salon lighting, all on dimmers, is recessed into the inboard side of the aft galley counter. The forward galley area has ample storage in drawers for cutlery and other items and in large cabinets above and below. Appliances include a GE four-burner glass cook-top set in the granite counter, a full-size Bosch electric oven, a Panasonic microwave, and a full size GE refrigerator/freezer. The fridge/freezer doors are covered with matching teak panels for an attractive, unobtrusive appearance. A full complement of cookware, cutlery, Wedgwood "Nantucket Basket" china, and glassware will stay on board the yacht as part of its inventory.

Pilothouse Forward and up three steps from the galley is the spacious pilothouse, with outstanding visibility. The natural "command-center" of the yacht, the pilothouse also provides comfortable seating for guests, and serves as a second indoor social center. The entire sole of the pilothouse is teak and holly. To port is an L-shaped settee that seats four comfortably, with custom fabrics and upholstery design, and a number of additional throw pillows. Forward of this seating, a large high-low teak table with starburst design is divided and hinged, allowing it to fold and create extra clearance when not in use. This table can be used for dining, or as a work or charting surface. It can also be dropped and combined with the pilothouse seating to create the base for an additional large berth. This combination can also provide additional occasional berthage for guests, or make a convenient sea-berth near the helm for off-watch crew during overnight passages. The pilothouse seating has storage below, including a large chart drawer; a drawer for the yacht's HP printer/fax/scanner; a long gun locker; and further storage lockers. Outboard to port, a half hanging locker for rain gear is built in, with additional chart or equipment storage aft. Overhead there is custom book and magazine storage built in on both sides of the seating. There is substantial indirect and overhead lighting on dimmers, as well as two custom fully adjustable reading lights. The air conditioning system for the pilothouse was upgraded from standard to allow for faster cooling on even the hottest days. Additionally, two overhead teak-framed screened opening hatches allow for natural airflow into the pilothouse if desired. Both pilothouse doors have upgraded "Kroon" stainless steel handles and door lock systems, and additional safety dogs as well as built-in full-height retracting "Phantom" insect screens. A Stidd helm chair upholstered in tan-colored leather, with polished stainless steel base and electric adjustment controls, is mounted so that it can be used either as a helm chair or turned as additional seating for dining. A custom storage cabinet for 40 bottles of wine is located on the starboard side of the pilothouse. A 20 bottle-capacity wine chiller is built-in to the starboard side of the pilothouse console. Full control panels for both the 110/220-volt and 12/24-volt electrical systems are located under the chart desk to port forward in the pilothouse, including switchovers from either generator to shore power. Additionally, separate optional complete generator gauge and remote control panels were added in this area. An additional locker inboard below the port chart desk provides further substantial storage. The console for the navigation electronics is oversized to house large screens and the maximum amount of equipment. A custom black Lexan glare-shield at the console stops instrument lighting from reflecting on the front windows while underway at night. A teak handrail is mounted overhead, and there is a teak grab rail to port of the wheel above the chart desk. Entertainment system speakers are mounted overhead, as well as a CO2 sensor.

Pilothouse Electronics The user-friendly electronics and camera package at the pilothouse helm is particularly complete for a vessel of this size, and consists of the following: Furuno Navnet system with 72-mile color radar, six-foot scanner, 10" display with chart plotter overlay, and GPS plotter Northstar 1201 display for use with onboard computer and satellite television Northstar GPS 962XD with 12” Display Furuno sounder model BBFF1 Chart Navionics for Atlantic East coast, west coast of Florida, Chesapeake, Bahamas Camera system with four Elbex cameras - three in the engine room and one on the aft deck with a color switcher for single or multi-display B&G Digital Depth Display and alarm system B&G Network Speed Digital Display B&G Network Wind Digital Display ICOM 602 VHF radio with command mike for dual-station VHF monitoring in pilothouse and at the Flybridge ICOM 802 Single Side Band radio Ray 430 hailer with speakers forward and on aft deck Software for NOAA and weather channel for current and future forecasting Panasonic KX-TA 624 Phone System with land line, cellular and Satellite intercom system SAT/Phone- SeaTel Model 2100r Furuno Weather Fax Sat Television Trac receiver with four receivers - one for the pilothouse and the salon, and separate receivers for each stateroom Computer tower mounted underneath the console to port, with cordless mouse and keyboard. This equipment has been constantly upgraded, and functions as a server to provide the entire yacht with secure internet WIFI

Pilothouse Electronics Continued Other equipment controls and monitors in the pilothouse include Glendinning electronic throttle controls for the main engines with manual back up, and controls/displays for the following: On/off controls and digital readouts for the Caterpillar main engines On/off controls and meters for the Northern Lights 16kw generators Naiad computer-controlled stabilizers with nine-square-foot fins 25 HP Naiad hydraulic bow thruster Simrad AP20 auto pilot Trace Inverter remote Maxwell dual-capstan windlass remote control FCI water maker remote Windshield wiper and washer units Overhead schematic of yacht profile, with lighting indicators and visual and audible alarms for bilge pumps and engine room and lazarette fire detectors "Tank tender" for indicating fuel and fresh water levels Black tank level indicator Horn

Master Stateroom A private staircase to starboard opposite the galley leads to the gracious, full-beam master stateroom suite. The custom polished stainless steel and teak staircase handrail creates a stylish look similar to a spiral staircase. As you descend the five wide, easy steps to the master cabin, there is storage to outboard in two small compartments. Forward and outboard of the beautiful hand carved entrance door to the owner's suite is a full-height, cedar-lined hanging locker with a full-height mirror on the outside. The owner's king berth with custom mattress has built-in cedar-lined drawers underneath, and integrated night tables with drawer storage. There is custom foot, valance, and overhead lighting on dimmers, with controls at each night table, and custom nickel lighting sconces on either side of the bed in the custom framed mirrors. On the port side of the stateroom is another full-height hanging locker, and substantial additional storage in cabinets and drawers. Outboard are two opening ports and decorator curtains. The interior of the hull surrounding the ports is lined with teak to match the décor in the cabin. In the port aft corner of the cabin, a vanity with teak accordion door provides great storage and custom cabinets reaching to the ceiling. A stool with cushion slips easily below the vanity when not in use. Next to the vanity and opposite the berth is a custom bookshelf. In the center of the wall opposite the end of the berth, a flat-screen TV is installed in a custom teak cabinet. Both the television and the DVD system in the master cabin have five-way "surround-sound" with a sub-woofer below the berth. Beneath the flat-screen TV is a teak door with upgraded hardware and locking system, which provides access to the engine room aft through a second aluminum watertight door with viewing port. Together these two doors create a quieter environment in the master cabin when cruising. The telephone system is on the starboard night table and from the master (and all the telephone locations), you can receive and make landline, cellular, satellite, and intercom calls. An additional B&G "multi display" unit showing depth, speed, and wind direction is also located outboard of the starboard-side night table, as are an alarm from the GPS that sounds in case of excess movement at anchor, and the digital air conditioning controls. The master stateroom has off-white Ralph Lauren wool broadloom carpeting with sound-absorbent padding beneath.

Master Cabin Ensuite Head/Shower The ensuite head and shower to starboard has a pocket door and teak and holly sole. The granite counter was extended to have a larger surface area than in the standard layout. There is a mirrored storage cabinet forward and additional cabinet above the counter and below. The shower stall was substantially enlarged for added comfort and convenience. It features built-in teak seating; fiberglass walls for easy maintenance; a retractable clothes line; chrome on brass soap/shampoo caddy; and an upgraded tinted, tempered-glass door with chromed solid brass handles. There is an opening stainless port with curtain outboard above the sink (surrounded by teak), and a second opening stainless port in the shower. The VacuFlush head is forward.

Forward Guest Stair and Foyer The two forward staterooms are accessed from a staircase at the starboard forward corner of the pilothouse. The optional curved wall at the base of this staircase gives the yacht a more detailed finish, compared to other yachts in the series. The floors of many earlier Alaskan 60/64s had various levels in this area; for safety, the forward area of this yacht is all on one level. In addition, the entrance to the port guest stateroom was widened and fitted with double doors, enlarging access to this cabin and providing a more open feeling in the forward foyer area.

Forward Upper and Lower Stateroom The forward port guest stateroom has upper and lower berths, with storage below the lower berth, opening stainless ports above with curtains, and double drawer storage with mirror above aft. Forward, this cabin has a built-in TV/DVD with its own satellite receiver, and a cedar lined hanging locker below. There is a separate AC unit for this stateroom, complete telephone system, and the overhead lights are on dimmers. This stateroom is across from a large head and shower, shared with the forward VIP stateroom.

Forward VIP Stateroom The forward VIP stateroom features exceptional headroom and a walk-around queen berth with custom mattress, bed coverings, pillows, etc. Because the bow thruster is hydraulic rather than electric, there are no batteries or other bow thruster machinery in this cabin, as are usually found in yachts this size. Instead, there is deep, large storage (e.g., for luggage or golf clubs) under the berth, and the mattress is hinged to allow easy access to this storage area. Both the full height hanging locker to port and the four large drawers under the berth are cedar lined. The forward-most bulkhead forward of the berth is faced with a teak-framed mirror, and the entrance door to the stateroom is faced with an additional teak-framed mirror. The phone system is on the port side near the head of the berth. Reading lights and upgraded overhead lighting are all on dimmers. A TV/DVD has its own satellite receiver. A large opening teak-framed overhead hatch with insect screen and two stainless opening ports with curtains to port and starboard, provide natural light and ventilation if desired. These ports have additional stainless steel "deadlight" covers for safety during offshore passages. An additional (spare) pair of main propellers for the yacht is secured in custom brackets below the floor in the bilge area in this cabin. There is private access directly from the VIP cabin to the large ensuite head and shower. This features a granite counter with storage cabinetry both above and below, a large shower stall with built-in additional storage cabinets, and VacuFlush toilet. The head has a teak and holly sole and upgraded lighting on dimmers.

Flybridge The flybridge is easily accessed from the wide indoor six-step staircase to starboard of the pilothouse. The custom polished stainless steel stanchion and teak handrail in spiral-staircase style provides additional safety. Inboard and opposite the stair, a door provides easy access to the underside of the flybridge electronics area for maintenance and service. The overhead hatch opening to the flybridge was deepened forward, so that even tall guests can access the flybridge or re-descend to the pilothouse without bending down. In this late version of the Alaskan 60/64 series, the flybridge and boat deck were extended by four feet, to cover the aft deck completely. As a result of this extension, the top deck is far larger than those typically found on even much longer and beamier yachts. For safety, the entire boat deck aft is completely surrounded by stainless stanchions and lifelines. To starboard is a custom fiberglass cabinet including a built-in sink with storage below, a refrigerator with icemaker, an additional storage cabinet, and a large stainless steel "DCS" barbecue with stainless safety rail and two propane tanks stored in a cabinet below. A freshwater wash-down hose bib is conveniently located at the aft base of this fiberglass cabinet. To port is large and comfortable L-shaped seating upholstered in Sunbrella fabric, with custom accent cushions and large individually hinged storage compartments and speakers for the sound system beneath. Forward of this seating are two small fiberglass high-low tables for entertaining. For serving more guests at meals, there is a custom removable fiberglassed tabletop that covers these two smaller high-low tables, and is stored conveniently nearby. Two large molded-in deck storage boxes (one vented for storing dinghy fuel) are aft of the main flybridge seating. The EPIRB and Life-Sling are mounted outboard to port. A Stidd helm chair upholstered in cream-colored vinyl is mounted at centerline. To port is access to a large storage area under the flybridge helm, which also provides direct access underneath the helm electronics area for easy maintenance and service. A separate panel lifts to reveal 110-volt and telephone and cable-TV outlets. All areas of the flybridge seating, including the Stidd chair, have vinyl covers. The Bimini is connected to the main hinged radar arch, and provides an exceptionally large area of protection from sun or inclement weather. The upgraded and hinged secondary fiberglass radar arch can be lowered to provide clearance for Great Lakes voyages or other restricted-height passages. As in all other areas of the yacht, the original courtesy lighting was increased and then upgraded to a more weatherproof heavy polished stainless steel unit. There is lighting on dimmers under the main radar arch, and four mini-spotlights also on dimmers mounted on the radar arch in custom fiberglass enclosures to illuminate the boat deck. The flybridge seating area features four exterior loudspeakers connected to the main Bose entertainment system and remotely controllable. Aft on the boat deck is a 14' Rendova hard-bottom inflatable tender with a 50 HP Yamaha four-stroke outboard engine, a custom stainless steel water-ski tow arch that facilitates boarding, ICOM waterproof VHF radio, Garmin waterproof 492 GPS/bright-screen color chart plotter, depth sounder, and full vinyl cover. There is a second, smaller console cover for the tender, for use when it's being used more often. The tender rests on custom stainless steel cradles secured to the boat deck with easily removed stainless bolts in flush fittings. With the tender and the cradles removed, the boat deck area aft of the flybridge seating and lockers is unobstructed - creating an open, flat surface 16'6" square for entertaining or sunbathing. The stainless tender cradles are relatively lightweight, and easily stored in custom Sunbrella bags. The upgraded 1,500-pound-capacity hydraulic Marquipt davit (located to port on the boat deck, and with a push-button remote control unit) easily deploys the tender.

Flybridge Navigation Equipment Flybridge console controls and other flybridge-mounted equipment largely duplicate the extensive configuration at the pilothouse helm and include: Glendinning electronic throttle controls for the main Caterpillar engines 2 digital Caterpillar readouts for the main engines Naiad stabilizer controls Simrad AP20 auto pilot second station, plus additional plug-in for auto pilot remote Naiad bow thruster controls Furuno six-foot open scanner for radar Furuno Navnet GD1900C display unit with color radar screen, interfaced to serve as a GPS display with plotter and depth sounder Northstar GPS 962 display as slave to lower unit, with additional capacity for chart plotting from the computer, Furuno Navnet or display from the camera system Interphase I-Scan 180 "Forward Looking Sonar" ICOM M502 VHF Radio ICOM Command Mike HM127 to allow dual station monitoring/use of the pilothouse ICOM VHF radio at the flybridge Ray Marine hailer Stereo system, remotely controllable Triple Kahlenberg horns ACR spotlight with electronic control Maxwell remote windlass control EPIRB GPIRB with GPS B&G Digital depth instrument B&G Digital speed instrument B&G Network wind indicator Trac-Vision antenna dome B-Gan Internet satellite antenna dome

Engine Room and Machinery There are two entrances to the engine room, each with an aluminum watertight door with window and safety dogs: the forward one is behind a teak door in the owner's cabin, and the aft one leads to the aft lazarette. The engine room ceiling is over five inches thick, and incorporates multiple sound insulation materials. For ease in removing large machinery for replacement or major service, there are four overhead hatches in the engine room that open in the main salon floor. The flooring in the engine room has a rubberized non-slippery patterned surface, and the engines are mounted on stainless steel engine beds. There is increased ventilation for the engine room, and additional 24 volt and 110 volt lighting. Three video cameras provide complete, constant views of the engine room to the monitors at the pilothouse and flybridge helm stations. The engine room has heat and smoke detectors with alarms at both helm stations. The twin Caterpillar 3196E 660 HP electronically controlled main engines are particularly versatile: they have the power to drive the yacht at up to 17 knots, but can also cruise comfortably in the low teens. At reduced engine speed of approximately 1,000 RPMs, the yacht effortlessly achieves a cruising speed of 9 knots in 2-5 foot seas at a fuel consumption rate of 3-4 gallons per hour per side. Naturally, this performance gives the yacht remarkable fuel economy and extended range: in late 2006 this yacht made offshore passages on her own bottom from Newport, Rhode Island to Bermuda, and onward to Antigua, using her on-board tankage alone, and arrived timely with substantial fuel to spare. On the recommendation of "Soundown", the prominent noise consultant engineers, in 2006 the original main engine exhaust systems were replaced with custom Soundown silencers and new, modified exhaust pipes extending to the transom. At the same time, the main engine mounts were replaced by custom Soundown double-mounts, to reduce noise and vibration further throughout the yacht while under way. The twin Northern Light 16kw generators have the latest updated sound shields not previously installed on an Alaskan until this yacht. The diesel fuel system has a capacity of 1,310 gallons in four tanks, and features a simple but effective manifold system for fuel transfer including a transfer pump, a polishing system that can operate and polish each fuel tank and an ESI fuel system, as well as standard Racor fuel filters for both engines and generators. There is a simple-to-use oil-change system for the engines and generators. The originally specified electrical wiring and battery fusing systems were evaluated prior to construction and upgraded for maximum safety. All batteries are now AGM "no-maintenance" type. The 4kw Trace inverter is mounted ahead of the starboard engine, with a remote control panel at the pilothouse. Twin isolation transformers supply appropriate voltage and protection for the shore power system. The Naiad Multi-Sea electronically controlled stabilizer system has nine-square-foot fins and enlarged hydraulics to provide outstanding stability. Six-square-foot fins are typically specified on a vessel this size, and 7.5 square foot fins would be very generous. Thanks to these dramatically oversized stabilizer fins, which would be suitable for a 100+-foot mega-yacht, this vessel tracks impeccably while under way. The hydraulic reservoirs for the stabilizers and hydraulic bow thruster are easily accessible, as are the stabilizer fins. On the recommendation of Soundown, a relief valve was installed in the bow-thruster hydraulics line to eliminate hydraulics-borne whine and noise throughout the yacht. There is a 1,500-gallon per day "Filtration Concepts" watermaker with the latest technology and automatic self-flushing function, and a remote control panel at the pilothouse. All new watermaker membranes were installed in 2007. The originally installed freshwater pump was replaced by a more robust Headhunter "MACH V" 110 volt pump, with an Excaliber 24 volt pump as a back up. The AC and generator seawater intakes have self-cleaning Groco strainers. There is a Fireboy MA-1200 fire fighting system with automatic engine and generator shutdown. There is an air compressor for air tools, tool chest with extensive tools, and workbench with vise. Numerous components in the engine room have been re-arranged to optimize space utilization, and innumerable smaller engineering refinements have been implemented to simplify and enhance routine maintenance.

Lazarette The full-beam lazarette beneath the aft deck is accessed from a large hatch that lifts with ease on hydraulic arms. A short, hinged ladder allows easy access down from the aft deck, and can be stored out of the way in the laz. The lazarette can also be accessed internally directly from the aft end of the engine room. The lazarette has both 12 volt and 110 volt lighting, and heat and smoke detectors with alarms at both helm stations. As originally designed and constructed, the lazarette on this yacht housed considerable machinery. In 2005 the components in the lazarette and engine room were reconfigured, and much of the machinery was relocated, creating tremendous open storage space in the lazarette, and optimizing weight distribution. Forward in the laz are a separate full-size Frigidaire commercial-grade clothes washer and dryer. To port aft is a NuTone central vacuum cleaner system, and a sophisticated fresh water filter system that both softens the water and filters it before it reaches the water tank. This filtration system works for both dock-supplied and watermaker-produced water. Also to port are a stainless steel hot water heater and a scuba-dive-tank air compressor plumbed to the dive-tank storage locker on the aft deck directly above. The central aft area of the laz provides easy access to the yacht's steering gear. Above these components are deep shelves with large bins for storing spare parts, filters, and other service and maintenance supplies. To starboard in the laz is a top-loading, seven-cubic foot capacity, 110-volt deep freezer.
