Engine Room
- Cummins QSM-11M main engine 336KW (450HP) @ 2100 RPM. Engine is
turbo charges, intercooled, electronic, 4 valves per cylinder, 10.8
liters displacement. Engine new September 2004, approximately 600
hours total time. All fluid changes and maintenance requirements
complied with.
- 130-amp alternator with main battery bank switching.
- Two 8D main engine starting batteries for 24V system.
- Twin Disc gearbox Model 5JF-528 was installed with the new engine in Sep 2004.
- Twin Racor FX-1000 fuel filters for the main engine so that a filter
can be changed with the engine running. Also a pre-filter to all
engines is fitted before the individual engine Racors as well as
individual engine fuel filters.
- 130 Lt (30 gal) day tank for Gensets however main engine takes fuel
directly from main fuel tank.
- Two 25 KW gensets powered by Yanmar 4JH2-HTE turbocharged,
intercooled 55KW (75hp) diesels at 3600 RPM. For genset use 1800 RPM
is used and HP at this RPM is 38.5. One genset can power all the
ships electrical systems.
- Gensets assembled and sound shield installed by Emerson Power
Products of Seattle, USA. Approximate time on both gensets is 740
hours.
- The Sea chest is 20cm (8") diameter with a 15cm (6") main valve
distributing seawater to main engine, gensets, fire hose and spare as
required.
- A 40-gallon pressure water accumulator tank is located in the engine
room next to the 40-gallon hot water tank. The accumulator tank
reduces the ½ HP water pump cycle time and maintains 30-50 P.S.I.
water pressure throughout the vessel. As spare water pump is
available. The hot water tank is 5KW and a recirculating pump is
activated when hot water reaches normal temperature. This eliminates
running the hot water in order to get hot water at the faucets. I
have not used the hot water tank in the Caribbean, as the showers are
just right at the ambient temperature.
- The electrical system is designed for genset use during meal times
or approximately 3 to 4 hours per day. When the gensets are off AC
power for essential systems is provided through the 7500 watt Trace
inverter. This includes refrigeration, music, entertainment,
computers and water pump. In the Caribbean with just a few of us
onboard a genset runs for 1 hr and 30 min morning and evening which
maintains the house batteries at full charge. This increases to
about 6 hours per day with more people on board. For some items
including essential items a genset is required. These include the
anchour windlass, battery charging (135 amps) and a separate charger
for the 12V batteries, which power the electronics. All wiring is
tinned copper and oversized. Wiring to the winches, for example, is
#4/0.
- A 40 gallon per hour water maker is installed which was manufactured
by Watermakers of Florida. Unfortunately it was left too long between
uses and now the Membranes need to be replaced. This will be done in
Trinidad when we are there.
- The engine room has a 1.5m (45") workbench with vise and drill
press. This is powered via the inverter.
- Two drawers under the workbench plus five storage shelves provide
storage for a considerable number of tools and parts. Storage is also
available under the aluminum checker plate engine room floor.
- The engine room has three bilge pumps, one automatic with an alarm
located on the alarm panel near the galley. One manually activated
120V and one 5cm (2") powered by the fire fighting pump motor.
- The main forward and aft AC and DC electrical panel are located on
the aft engine room bulkhead. These supply electrical power to the
other electrical panel already mentioned previously.
- The three diesel engines are equipped with a lubricating oil pump
out system to make oil changes easier.
- The house and 12V battery banks are all AGM non-venting batteries.
- 24V battery powered incandescent lighting and 120V fluorescent
lighting are provided in the engine room to ensure lighting at all
times.
- Two 15cm (6") diameter 600 CFM fans draw exterior air into the
engine room via a plenum from the aft deck area. A 22cm (9") 600 CFM
fan draws air out of the engine room. This system seems to work well
and with the main engine running continuously at cruising speed engine
room temp is about 15 degrees F above ambient.
- An engine room automatic/manual fire suppression system using FE-241
agent is installed on the bulkhead adjacent to the main engine. This
system activated automatically at 165 degrees F or manually when the
manual release is pulled. This is located near the main companionway
stairs.
- The genset exhausts are wet and these were found to operate at the
same noise level with or without the mufflers that were first
installed. As a result the mufflers were removed and the exterior
noise level is quite satisfactory. This is due to the long exhaust
run to underneath the vessel transom.
- The main engine exhaust is dry until after the main muffler located
in the engine room. At this point the exhaust is injected with the
gearbox cooling water. Another main engine muffler is installed ½ way
back to underneath the transom where this exhaust also exits. This
exterior exhaust noise level is also satisfactory.
- The engine room is lined with Soundown 2.5cm (1") fire retardant
foam sandwiched with a 1-lb/square foot lead substitute. Although
this helps to reduce main engine room noise I wish the main engine
were quieter. It is however quiet when sailing.
- Hand held dry chemical and foam fire extinguishers are located just
inside the engine room door.
- A Buell 24V tank mounted compressor powers the two Buell air horns,
15" and 18" in length. These horns are mounted on top of the
deckhouse.
- A 'Zinc Saver' galvanic isolator is installed. I don't know if this
works but the zincs on the hull are still in good shape after two
years.
Deckhouse
- A 102x122cm (40x48") chart table is provided with three drawers that
can accommodate most full sized charts without folding.

Tracphone satellite phone.
- A trace inverter control panel is also installed in the deckhouse
with is a duplicate of the panel found on the inverter in the engine
room.
- An 18cm (7") clock and barometer set are located on the forward
deckhouse wall.
- A MiniQ, Pentium 4 computer used for ship's navigation, weather and
emails is to the left of the chart table. A 17" LCD monitor is used
with this computer and a Cannon i550 printer is available to print
weather maps, etc. A chair that swivels is also available for
computer use.
- A KVH Tracphone handset is located here for sat phone use. The
satellite tracking antenna is located outboard of the main antenna
platform on the stern pulpit.
- The deckhouse has 9 large windows as well as one small window facing
aft. Three storm covers are provided for these large windows if
required.
- A 145x225cm (57x89") berth or sitting area is located on the
starboard side of the deckhouse and is fitted with a ready light.
This area is useful along with the sofa to starboard as a
talking/coffee area when the weather is poor due to the good
visibility through the deckhouse windows.
- Three enclosed shelves totaling 3.3m (11') of shelf space hold
marine books and the vessels manuals.
- Forward of the books is the Panasonic phone system electronics and
distribution center.
- Three fire extinguishers.
- A Sony stereo, AM-FM CD player with a remote control and four
speakers under the seating on the aft deck is located just inside the
deckhouse entrance.
- The port side sofa is 204cm (8') long, seats three people and can be
used as a berth if required.

areas on the port and starboard aft sides of the deckhouse.
- Flares, safety harnesses and other safety gear are located under the sofa.
- An ACR Electronics EPIRB, which was new in Sep 2004, is fastened to
the stairwell wall leading into the vessel.
- An exterior light panel is located her and duplicated at the steering station.
- Three adjustable, dimmable Halogen lights are located over the chart
table. Thirteen others are located in the deckhouse deckhead. Some
of these are controlled via three-way switching so that they can be
turned off after entering the main saloon.
- A smoke detector.
The Hull
- The hull was fabricated from eight blocks at the Xiagang Shipyard,
part of the China State Building Corporation in Tanggu Mainland China.
Following completion of the detailed working drawings in 1994 steel
work commenced. I lived in China during these two years to assist
with the quality requirements. All of the steel work is satisfactory
however the keel, skeg and rudder are very well done. The framing is
'bulb bar' which is a very strong section typically used on commercial
ships. All of the blocks were sandblasted and immediately painted and
I can remember thinking that sandblasting inside some tank on a hot
day must be one of the world's worst jobs. All of the tanks are
integral and the coatings epoxy and potable water epoxy where
required. Hull plating varies from 6mm (¼") for the deck up to 12mm
(1/2") for parts of the hull under the engine beds. During sea-trials
in 2004 it was found that the vessel had too much Leeward helm. For
this reason a flat bulbous section was added to the front of the keel
to move the center of lateral resistance forward. This seems to have
fixed the problem. Port lights in the hull are 12mm (1/2") Lexan
which was installed in 2004. Deckhouse port lights are 12mm (1/2")
cast Plexiglas and the Lewmar 'Ocean' hatches are according to the
Lewmar specs.
The Rig and Sails
- The spars where manufacture in Canada from suitable 12mm (1/2"
aluminum plate. The top one third used 8mm (3/8") plate. The plate
was formed into 'J' shapes and welded to provide and race track
section.
- The tops of the spars are tapered.
- Sheaves are 20cm (8") in diameter on 2.5cm (1") shafts. Halyards
are wire/rope leading to Antal rope clutches.
- Antal and Lewmar blocks are used.
- The standing rigging is 316 stainless swaged to Ronstan swaged
fittings. Wire ranges from 26mm to 18mm depending or loads.
- The aft mast has wind sensor and VHF antenna along with anchor
light. The forward mast has a running light.
- Both masts have spreader lights on the lower spreaders.
- The radar antenna is located on the aft mast midway between the
lower and mid spreaders.
- The turnbuckles were made in Canada and tested by Wire Rope
Industries. The bodies are plated brass and the screws and tangs are
316 stainless.
- There are four sails, the jib, staysail, foremain and mainsail. The
two mains are fitted with Harken 'Big Boat' Battcars, track and
Headboard cars. Both the mains are fully battened. The Mains are
loose footed.
- The Staysail is fitted with a self tacking boom and curved track on
deck. Therefore the Jib is the only sail that may need attention when
tacking.
- Lewmar winches, manual, are provided on the masts to assist with
topping lifts, etc.
- The winches on deck are Lewmar electric and receive their power from
the 24V house battery bank
- The sails were made by Sail East in Hong Kong and were first used in
2004. A North loft stored the sails for me and measured them when the
masts were being built. They advised me that the quality was very
good.
