Additional Specs, Equipment and Information:

V includes 3 double cabins as well as dual single berths (forward and aft) in the port float including air conditioning, lights, and fans for each. The master to starboard has an ensuite, single button electric head with integrated macerator pump. The second head with the same configuration is located just to the port as you enter the main cabin.
Entering the main salon, a wall mounted television to port is just aft of a dual drawer Vitrifrigo refrigerator with a microwave oven above. A large storage locker sits below the built in freezer. The helm station is forward facing and includes autopilot controls for monitoring parameters as well as allowing sailing direction control via the autopilot controls keeping you out of the weather on long, harsh passages.
To starboard in the main salon is a large settee with seating all around allowing for a panoramic view of the horizon. A deep storage hatch sits behind the settee facing starboard and a smaller one forward with access below the seat as well. LED lighting throughout ensures your power stays on even without generator or sun. Access to the forward berth includes a sliding access for privacy and security while underway.

The central galley includes Corian countertops with a double sink on the port side. In addition to fresh water, a dedicated salt water wash pump supplies water to the aft sink. The forward sink includes fresh water as well as the water maker output. Storage above the sink allows for ample food storage and deep drawers below the forward sink provide ample storage for cookware. On the starboard side, a three-burner stove sits above an oven both operating from an electric gas shutoff valve located in the starboard locker. Additional storage for cookware and dishes is below and above the counter.

Recent upgrades include the addition of the Raymarine AIS installed with new control unit along with replacing the Raymarine ACU-400 Actuator Control Unit.

The electrical work on V was done in Annapolis Maryland. At commissioning in 2014, the system was wired for 110VAC service, the Northern Lights generator installed and the three (3) separate AC systems were installed. They include a 16000 BTU Cruisair AC in the salon, a 12000 BTU Cruisair AC supplying the port cabin and port float, and a 6000 BTU Cruisair AC supplying the master cabin Starboard. At that time a MagnaSine 2500Watt inverter with integrated 100A charger was installed. Since then, V has had multiple upgrades which are listed below by year:

2019: New water heater- Nautic 5.3 gallon 1200 Watt engine/AC
2018:
• Installed 3rd set of solar panels (115 Watt Solara Sun Power) with Victron MPPT chargers
• Upgraded all Victron MPPT regulators to LiION charging settings
• 4 X 100Ahr RELION Lithium Ion batteries
• New lifeline AGM GPL-3100 bow thruster battery
• New Magnum Shunt
• New 150AMP Balmar Alternator
• New Magnum Battery Monitoring Kit (BMK)
• GLOMEX webboat 4G and Wifi antenna
• New White/Blue Deck light
• Basement Washing Machine
• Installed SPECTRA Cape Horn Extreme watermaker (15gal/hr)
2017: Installed 2nd set of solar panels (115 Watt Solara Sun Power) with Victron MPPT chargers
2015: Installed 1st set of solar panels (115 Watt Solara Sun Power) with Victron MPPT chargers

The engine, generator, watermaker and steerage components are accessible from the enormous basement access not found on any other yacht of this class. A full-size ladder gains access to the mechanical components without exposing you to the elements common with rear access catamarans. The Yanmar 4JH5E 54 HP diesel engine (1700 hrs) with automatic fuel priming includes an inline Racor fuel filter to keep it running. Through hulls are centrally located at the bottom of the ladder for the generator, air conditioning and watermaker.
Overboard discharge from the showers is gravity fed eliminating the need for shower sumps. In 2019 the holding tank discharge valves were replaced with Marelon through-hulls to reduce weight and eliminate the possibility of corrosion, keeping the engine compartment bright and clean.
The Northern lights 7kW generator (598hrs) features a sound enclosure and simple access from the front. Regular and preventive maintenance has kept all systems running clean and smooth. The Installed Basement ARB refrigerator/freezer.

Sails and rigging are as designed to keep the solid integrity of the vessel with the ease of a simple and robust sail plan. The main includes an integrated downhaul that can be relocated when sailing downwind as a preventer. The simple sail plan allows single handling with comfort and ease. An electric winch on the main halyard allows for simple raising during regular sailing, or while reefing in high winds. Roller Furlers on the genoa and staysail all route back to the helm station for ease of deployment or furling. Dual winches at the helm operate the main and jib sheets from a single point, or the jib can be relocated to the starboard winch for crew when on a port tack. The square-top main provides 60 square meters of sail area with a 46 square meter jib or 20 square meter Self-tacking Staysail.
