Engine and Engine Room
Walk-in engine room. The sound insulation is covered by
perforated aluminium linings. Engine: Volvo Penta D4-180,
132 kW/180 HP at crank shaft. Maximum torque 500 Nm. 3.7
litres displacement. The engine has balance shafts, common
rail fuel injection, double overhead camshafts and four
valves per cylinder. Mounted with four rubber feet on
strong foundations to avoid vibration and noise. Fixed
3 bladed propeller. Water-cooled rubber exhaust pipe.
Freshwater cooled engine. Aqua Drive flexible link for
a quiet and smooth engine. The hot freshwater circuit
is led into a 80 litres well insulated hot water tank.
Due to the good insulation water remains hot for many
hours after the engine has been run. The engine is served
by a separate 12 V battery. There is a large filter for
cooling water. The bilge pump has been installed in a
position where it can be cleaned even in extremely bad
weather conditions.
Diesel
Approximately 900 Litres / 238 US gall-on in two stainless
steel tanks, below the floor in saloon with fuel gauge.
The tanks are filled through deck inlets. Between tanks
and engine there is a further large water and coarse filter
in addition to the one on the engine. The cruising range
in calm waters is approximately 1 200 nautical miles.
Water
Water capacity is approximately 1 050 litres / 278 US
gallon under the floor in the saloon in stainless tanks.
There is a water gauge. The water goes to a pump and then
on to a pressure equalising tank, and from there via a
manifold is distributed to a 75 litres/20 US gallon hot
water calorifier (heated by 230 V and the engine’s
cooling water) and the cold water system. As soon as a
water tap is turned on the water which is under pressure
in the pipes starts to flow. As soon as the pressure reduces
the electric pump begins to work and will continue until
the pressure is built up again after closing tap. Filling
of water tanks is through deck inlet. There is a carbon
filter for the fresh water system. There are three bilge
pumps; one manual, one electric and one high capacity
electric emergency bilge pump that is floodable. The emergency
pump is operable from the cockpit.
Electricity
Three separate circuits; one with 12 Volt and 140 Ah battery
for engine start and one 24 Volt 210 Ah for general 24
V use on board, covered by four 6 v 210 Ah traction tubular
cell batteries. One 12 Volt 210 Ah for general 12 V use
on board, covered by two 6 v 210 Ah traction tubular cell
batteries. Charging of batteries is by one 140 A 12 V
and one 55 A 24 V alternator from the engine, as well
as from shore connection and a 24 V 50 A charger. Remote
panel for the charger, showing battery status. Light-ing
throughout the boat is located in all the important positions.
There are adjustable lights above berths and settee. Electric
sockets at inner chart table and in the cockpit. Electric
panel with circuit breakers. There is a water and diesel
meter. International navigation lights, steaming light
and anchor light with switch on the panel for extra safety.
The electric panel has provision for additional outlets.
A wiring diagram is supplied with each boat.
Heating
Two Webasto Airtop 3500 Diesel, 3.5 kW, with outlets in
saloon, forward cabin, starboard cabin, heads compartments
and aft cabin. As far as possible double heater hoses
are used in each other for insulation purpose. Also the
hull is well insulated and therefore heating and consequently
electric consumption will be minimal. The heating exhaust
flue is led outside through the blue decorative stripe.
The heating is installed in the engine room and is easily
accessible for servicing. All outlets, except in the saloon,
can be regulated separately.
Refrigeration
Two water cooled Isotherm SP systems with 24 V Danfoss
compressor units, one for refrigeration and one for freezer.
Both are very economical to run. The freezer has a double
thermostat, enabling to use the freezer as fridge if required.

7 dorade vents; in forward cabin, forwards heads compartment,

with progressive purchase combines safety and fine feel
in the best possible way. Illuminated compass. Leather
covered steering wheel.
Safety and General
All outside skin fittings are speedily and securely sealed
by using ball-valves with Delrin-sealer. Double hose clips
are used under water. For the toilet special non-diffusing
hoses are used. All electric cables are, where possible,
laid in special channels and where this is not possible,
cables are safely loomed away from the hull. There are
large limber holes so that any water can easily drain
to the bilge. The bilge is accessible by a removable floor
panel without having to remove the steps. Inspection hatches
for easy access to stop cocks and speed transducer. Four
fire extinguishers, one fitted to the saloon table, one
in the forward cabin, one in the aft cabin and one in
the cockpit locker.

varnish. The underwater hull has two applications of epoxi
primer and two coats of antifouling.
