Accommodations
Pilothouse extension will make a great double pilot berth with ready access to the ships controls and a large upper deck. There is even a handsome 42" mahogany spoked ships wheel from a 1930's Canadian schooner that was just purchased and is being custom fitted to the helm plate.
The pilothouse design lends itself to a roomy flying bridge accessed from the upper deck. The lines of the vessel look very good with or without a flying bridge.

Down one level to the main deck, the main deck house will be a large galley and sitting area with double mahogany doors to the aft deck.

A full head is designated forward of the galley and under the pilothouse raised deck. Down a spiral stairway brings one to the cargo hold where 4 portlights bring in ample natural light. This can be divided into separate cabins or made into a grand saloon with fireplace. This space is 18'x18'

Aft of this space walk through a watertight door into the engine room with full headroom and a complete walkaround engine.

Forward of the cargo space walk through another water tight door into the focsle. This is where the original crews quarters and galley were located.

There is the remains of a full head here. Two portlights let in subtle light. This will make great guest quarters, a work shop or just storage space. A new wooden stairway leads to the foredeck. The framework for 6'-6" V berths have been started

Galley Please keep in mind that the conversion of this vessel is an ongoing project. Price will increase accordingly. Main deck house will be the galley and salon area. Large windows are framed in and frames are built of 2" solid mahogany. This area can be configured in any way to suit the buyer. Double doors will be solid mahogany opening onto the aft deck. A sliding side door opens onto the port side deck.

Ballast and More This is an opportunity to own your own ship. There is nothing like her on the market when you consider the custom work that has been done to make her a very practical. liveaboard / cruiser. At 65’ her size is comfortable and very manageable. She is easily handled and has a good reputation for maneuverability. In Sept. 2005, this vessel was ballasted with 9 yards of concrete equaling 18 tons. This still leaves 10" of copper paint showing below the water line allowing for the weight of interior finishes and additional equipment. Part of this concrete was poured into the forward bilge space and the rest as a smooth insulated slab on the cargo hold deck making a nice finished floor ready for paint or carpet. This slab is insulated underneath to R7 and will act as a heat sink to help keep the interior spaces warm.
