Aft:  Ocean Winds boasts two drop-down swim ladders, and a swim platform with shower. Also located aft is a throwable horseshoe type life ring with strobe and flag and a Life Sling. There is also a pair of davits with 4:1 tackle.

Ports and Hatches: Ocean Winds has 6 Bomar opening hatches and 8 opening ports of a Herreshof design, which can be closed, opened fully for maximum air, or half way which provide a lot of air and are waterproof except in the heaviest of seas. She is very “airy” and fit for maximum comfort in southern climes.

Power: Twin Yanmar 2GM diesel 15 hp inboard engines. Each has its own starter battery, isolated from the house batteries by a “both, 1, 2, off” switch. Each has an 80-ampere Balmar alternator controlled via an external Cruising Equipment Co. Alpha regulator.

Each output is via a bronze Sillette Sonic “Z” drive to a PYI Max Prop 13”, 3 blade fully feathering prop.

Engine controls are Morse controls, each controlling both engine speed and forward/reverse modes in one lever per engine. These are mounted on a cockpit consol also including tachometers, start keys, shutdown chokes, and a fuel gage. The diesel tank is under the cockpit floor and has a 50-gallon capacity. Fuel usage at 7 knots is about 2 gallons per hour, giving a range of 175 nautical miles.

Each engine has an hour meter mounted in the nav. station, and oil and filters have been religiously changed every 100 hours.

Navigation Lights: Running lights, masthead tri-color, anchor, steaming and masthead strobe lights. Switches for all are in the nav. station.

Sails: All sails are Thurston. All controls lead aft to the cockpit for truly single-handed operation.

2 genoas on Furlex roller reefing system. Reef line leads to the cockpit and is controlled via a Spinlock stopper to a Barlow 15 winch. Sheets lead aft to 2 Barlow #27, 2 speed, self-tailing winches. Cockpit control. Halyard is internal and leads to the cockpit and is controlled via a Spinlock stopper to one of 2 Barlow 15 winches.

Fully battened mainsail. Halyard is internal, and leads to the cockpit. Controlled via a Spinlock stopper to one of 2 Barlow 15 winches. All controls; 3 reef lines (auto tack and clew), outhaul, Cunningham, flattener, topping lift, and vang all lead to the cockpit and are controlled via a Spinlock stopper to one of 2 Barlow 15 winches. Sail cover, of course. Mainsheet is off the aft end of the boom and has a 2:1 and 4:1 block system going to a Harkin traveler. All are accessible directly from the cockpit.

Staysail: Furlex roller reefing system. Reef line leads to the cockpit and is controlled via a Spinlock stopper to a Barlow 15 winch. Sheets lead aft to the cockpit and are controlled via a Spinlock stopper to one of 2 Barlow 15 winches. This sail will and has powered the boat upwind in 42 knots of wind.

Storm trysail: This must be hand mounted, and has never been used due to the ability of the staysail in rough conditions.

Cruising spinnaker: ¾ ounce nylon, blue, lime, yellow and white star design. Internal halyard, and the only halyard not leading aft to the cockpit, it must be winched and cleated on the mast. Contained with a Spinnaker Sally. Does not need a spinnaker pole; simply secure the tack to the windward bow and lead the sheet aft to the leeward Barlow 27 self-tailing winch. It really hauls the boat!

Steering: 24” destroyer type wheel uses a Morse pull-pull type system to control 2 large interconnected stern mounted rudders. Rudders have protective skegs and 3 point mounting. Autohelm III auto steering with a backup. This system will hold you steady in 42 knots to windward, and in heavy quartering and following seas.

Instruments:

Autohelm Seatalk depth sounder, speed/log, and wind speed/direction indicators, cockpit mounted in front of the wheel. Depth sounder and speed/log have backups in the nav. station.

Furuno radar good to 16 miles is in the nav. station and visible from the wheel.

Kenwood TS430-S HF and SSB radio, with Murch tuner and Autek SWR and Power meter in the nav. station.

West Marine MC795 VHF radio in the nav. station and controlled from the cockpit.

Cruising Equipment Amp-Hour, Amp, and Voltage meter in the nav. station.

Engine hour meters in the nav. station.

ACR Satellite 406 EPIRB in the nav. area.

A Garmin GPSmap 176 loaded with charts and waypoints. A backup Garmin 48.

Engine controls are Morse controls, each controlling both engine speed and forward/reverse modes in one lever per engine. These are mounted to the left of the wheel on a cockpit consol also including Aqua Meter Ensign tachometers, start keys, shutdown chokes, and the fuel gage.

Electrical:

Batteries: 2 House batteries of 86 amp-hours each, with room and connections for 3. These will easily power 2 DVDs each night and anchor lights, fans, and interior lights when on anchor. These are isolated from the two engine starter batteries, but all can be combined if necessary for engine start or charging via “both, 1, 2,  off” switch.

Charging:  Each engine has its own starter battery, isolated from the house batteries by a “both, 1, 2, off” switch. Each has an 80-ampere Balmar alternator controlled via an external Cruising Equipment Co. Alpha regulator.  When at dockside, there is a Deltron “smartcharger” for charging, equalizing and holding.

120 volt AC: There are several 120-volt receptacles on board. All served by dockside power and  a Balmar inverter capable of outputting 10 amps AC. This will easily run the microwave oven, the refrigerator (3 way, propane, 12 VDC or 120 VAC), the TV/DVD system, or whatever else you may have on board.

The batteries power all lights and fans on board. When at dockside, battery drawdown for these is powered through the battery charger.

Propane: Ocean Winds carries 3, 25-pound aluminum tanks. These power the refrigerator when not motoring, as well as the 4 burner stove, oven, barbecue, cabin heater, and hot water heater.

Fuel: a 50-gallon tank is located under the cockpit. Capacity provides for a 175 nautical mile range.

Water: Ocean Winds carries a total of 80 gallons of water in 3 separate 15-gallon selectable tanks to port and 35 gallons to starboard. A Pur Survivor 35, 1.4 gph water maker is located to starboard. A ShureFlow pump provides transfer from the starboard tanks to port, and also provides water pressure to the starboard head, shower, and transom fresh water rinse. Water saving foot pumps provide fresh water to the galley and the head.

Ground Tackle: 

Main Anchor:  35-pound CQR anchor with 220 feet of 5/16 high tensil chain on a bow roller and leading to a power windless.

Backup Anchor: Fortress FX23 with 30’ of 5/16 high tensil chain and 300 feet of 5/8, 3-strand nylon rode.

Electric Windless with wash down pump and sprayer. Windless will easily raise the anchor and will pull the boat up to the anchor in heavy conditions and against strong currents.

Fenders: 2, 15” diameter balls and 2, 10”x24” standard fenders. Many dock lines.

Sea Anchor: 18’ Para-Anchors parachute with 30’ 5/16 high tensil chain and 300’ 5/8 3-strand nylon rode. This is set and ready for instant deployment, but has never been used.
