ACCOMMODATIONS/ VESSEL WALKTHROUGH

To port and starboard of the main companionway are twin guest staterooms, each with a double berth and generous storage space. Both cabins share a common head, located to starboard. To port is the wraparound galley, designed to be at the point of least pitching motion. Even for a 63' yacht this is a generous working area, thoughtfully placing all the major components within easy reach and maximizing storage space, yet allowing the chef enough room to stand straight even at severe angles of heel. The portion of the counter on the centerline doubles as the engine box, allowing access on all sides.

Forward of the head, on the starboard side, is the comprehensively equipped navigation station. In addition to a complete array of navigation instruments, SCEPTRE'D ISLE boasts a chart table which is large enough to allow charts to be spread out.

The untraditional layout of the main saloon, a U-shaped settee and table to port, and a straight settee with lockers to starboard, is uniquely welcoming. Any sailor will immediately feel at home here. There is a flat-screen TV, which is accompanied by a DVD player and surround sound with subwoofer.

Forward of the mast, in a reversal of traditional roles, is the owner's stateroom, with a double
berth to port and a settee and vanity to starboard. Outboard of the latter are ample hanging lockers. Forward still is the en suite head compartment The forepeak is mostly devoted to stowage, although it does support a pipe berth and minimal head facilities.

Walking aft and out the companion way, one is struck by how cohesive SCEPTRE'D ISLE is; in the way she carries the traditional aspects of her design throughout yet also in the modern engineering and construction methods through which she achieves her performance goals.

BROKER REMARKS

The owner of SCEPTRE’D ISLE wanted a traditional yacht with very good sailing characteristics.  He chose Goetz to build a light, strong hull and deck (seemless vacuum bagged biaxial E-glass in epoxy resin over Baltec Contourkore core).  The interior is constructed with Nomex panels covered in a beautifully executed cherry veneer and traditional teak and holly soles.  The overhead is ultrasuede panels replaced new in 2004.  Derecktor assembled the package and used their years of experience to install all the equipment, and execute the interior and rig.  GMT built the carbon rig and the carbon rudder.  SCEPTRE’D ISLE has been maintained and upgraded as necessary.  Her crew keep her in proper yacht condition at all times.  She has had a light racing schedule.  In 2002 she won her class in the Block Island Race, and was third in class in the Newport to Bermuda Race.  SCEPTRE’D ISLE is a beautiful, light, fast and strong cruising yacht built and maintained without regard to budgets.  She is equipped with the best gear and sails and is available at well below the replacement cost of $3 million.
