Description

Actual Location: St Georges,

- Stock #329297 -

Excellent long range expedition trawler that has been completely refit in the last few years as a best in class expedition type trawler!

This one-of-a-kind vessel was originally a high-seas commercial trawler launched in 1973. She was purchased by the current owner as an empty hull with integrated fuel tanks but without deck, superstructure or machinery.

Starting with an excellent hull as a blank slate, the current owner undertook a very thorough, 100% keel-up refit, which was substantially completed in 2010 with additional hull and system enhancements made continuously through 2022.

Accommodations are extensive and she is presently fully equipped for a party of 8 with room for expanded berthing.

-Owner's Stateroom abaft wheelhouse with bath ensuite
-Fully equipped ship's office
-2 single and 2 double cabins with direct deck access and 2 shared head/showers on main deck
-All upper accommodations, wheelhouse, office and salon/galley are air-conditioned via a Carrier multi-split inverter system new 2018
-2 large workshops below decks with mig/tig/stick welders, plasma cutter, lathe/milling machine, hydraulic press etc.
-Dining area for 8
-2 entertainment centres in master stateroom and salon with: smart TVs, DVD/VCR/ BluRay

She currently has 50,000 liters of fuel on board with additional fuel capacity that will give her an 18,000 nautical mile range.

She is constructed of Naval grade steel with 12.5 mm garboards, 25 mm keel, otherwise 10 mm naval grade steel (A131) with new 6 mm alloy superstructure.

She has a new deck of 6MM naval steel laid in 2004. All new machinery, electrics/electronics, plumbing, anchors/chain, windlass, bulbous bow and furnishings followed soon thereafter.

In order to reduce future maintenance, the following stainless-steel elements were incorporated: bulwark stanchions, hawse pipes, caprail supports and electrically isolated deck/superstructure interface.

For stability, she has bilge keels on both sides, with the Portside bilge keel added in May 2022.

Her main engine is phenomenal!
