169' DavieSteel Pilothouse
Conversion 60m
This capable steel
vessel began life built for the Canadian Coast Guard as a buoy tender and
sounding vessel with ice breaker reinforcement. She spent her first 30 years
operating year round in fresh water on the St. Lawrence Sea Way, which kept
her much better preserved than other vessels working in salt water environments.
Originally accommodating a crew of 34, she was sold to a U.S. owner in
1993, at which time her conversion began with a number of cabins removed to
create a spacious salon and master cabin. Enjoying a short cruising career from
the St. Lawrence down to the Caribbean and then to Florida, she was purchased by
her current owner in July of 1998, and underwent a 6-month, million dollar
refit of her operating systems.
Upgrades included new fin stabilization system; bow thruster; new
integral PC navigation system with Nobeltec moving map software and full CD-rom
charts; new Isuzu 150kW genset; full overhaul of the ship's (2) original Allis
Chalmers/Buda gensets; complete safety systems upgrade to obtain a full SOLAS
safety certificate; new 1800-gpd watermaker with prefilter system; new fuel
and lube oil centrifuge systems to insure clean fuel and oil from any source;
new oil cooled air compressors; new water heaters; new raw water pump system;
rebuilt sanitation systems; plus too much more to list here!
ON DECK are (3) substantial deck cranes to handle (3) shore boats
including a 29' Blackfin Sportfisher, 25' diesel powered Nautica RIB shoreboat
and 16' Yamaha jet boat. Newly completed helipad is fitted with full custom
stainless railings (NOTE: Bell Jet Ranger not included). ACCOMMODATIONS
include 9 guest cabins, a full-width on-deck master suite with 'his'n'her' heads,
and substantial crew accommodations belowdecks. Comfortable interior offers
