The Story of Carinae
Carinae, like many yachts started out as a dream some years ago.
Building her was an interesting and challenging experience. This
process was, for the most part, finished September 2004 when Carinae
left Vancouver, Canada via the Panama Canal for the Caribbean.
Carinae was to start a charter career however circumstances now dictate
that Carinae be sold.
Carinae was designed in Canada and built of steel to ABS scantling
standards. She is 38m (125') LOA. 33m (108') LOD, 8m (26') beam and
3m (9') draft. Displacement, gross, is 110 tons with 18000 lt
(4000gallons) of fuel capacity, 16000 lt (3500 gallons) water, 4500 lt
(1000 gallons) in two holding tanks and a 2200 lt (500 gallons) fresh
water deck wash tank. Using approximately 3 gallons per hours at
8knots Carinae has exceptional range with full fuel. After a voyage
from Hawaii to Vancouver, under power alone, she arrived with over
1000 gallons of fuel remaining.
Carinae is nicely finished as I hope you can see from the pictures but
she is not a gold plated 'Mega yacht'. I tried to create the feeling
of being onboard a proper ship and I have heard that comment from a
number of visitors. Below deck you will find stained, satin varnish
finished edge grain Douglas fir, commercial grade wallpaper and brass
fixtures and trim. Original and unique artworks highlight suitable
areas. On deck white and chrome predominate while gray and blue
accented upholstery are found.
Carinae is bright down below due to over 20 Lewmar Ocean hatches and
light wall coverings. All of the electrical, plumbing and mechanical
systems were completed in Vancouver using American or European
components. The rig was also built in Vancouver. The standing rigging
was from Switzerland.
Please see the list of features. It is fairly comprehensive but feel free to
contact me should you have any questions. Should you wish to examine
Carinae or have her surveyed please email me bfearn@gmail.com to
make arrangements. Carinae
is currently out of the water in eastern Canada.
Good sailing,
