1975 Navalia North Sea Trawler54ft

A LIVE ABOARD MARINE CRAFTSMAN DREAM BOAT

If you've every contemplated a full time live aboard this is your opportunity.  The dream was unrealized by her prior owners and was interrupted by sudden passing.  Sprayline is 98% live-aboard ready and 85% refurbishment complete.  Just a few more months of effort will make this boat ready for lifetime of comfortable cruising.  

She has a fully functional  propulsion and control system.  She was hauled out in Port Townsend and a couple planks replaced replaced in August 2022, the hull was painted and the underwater gear removed, renovated and reinstalled.

Full of quality equipment and systems, she lacks a galley, a navigation suite and a few finishing touches to be a completed project for the dedicated craftsman and owner.

 A recent survey is available to interested parties.

Provenance:

Build in Portugal in 1975 by Navalia Shipyard.  Designed by Miles Stapleton.  Sprayline is a wooden hull round bilge raked bow with stabilizer sponsors and a rounded canoe stern with twin rudders.  Carvel planked with exotic lumber (African teak-like hardwood) on sawed frames measuring 3" x 6" and placed on 14" centers.  Joined by fasteners with galvanized structural bolts.

Construction:

The deck construction is plank and plywood on beams.  Upper frame futtocks above deck were replaced with aluminum from the bow to the boarding gates.  Bulwark panels aft are plywood,  Caprails are bright finished mahogany with bright finished mahogany handrails on painted stanchions around the deck circumference.

Main Deck and Interior Arrangement:

The foredeck has an opening skylight / escape hatch, large mooring cleat and an anchor windlass

The arrangement is a flush deck trawler type yacht with port and starboard wheelhouse doors and a large door to the aft deck.  Sheltered side and aft deck overhanging the upper deck.  Port and starboard side decks lead from the foredeck around the cabin to the aft deck.  The aft deck features a removable hatch over the engine compartment.

The cabin top has a flying bridge house forward with windows on all sides and an aft cabin door.  The primary control station is at the flying bridge.  The main deck forward cabin provides space for a future main control station.

The forward-most interior compartment is a forepeak chain locker.  Next aft is a stateroom with four large single berths, upper & lower - port & starboard. Following aft is a passageway with a single stateroom and hanging locker to starboard and a port side head compartment.  The passageway opens to a master stateroom with queen mattress and a head to starboard.

Following steps to the main deck leads to an unfinished pilothouse.  Aft on the main deck is a unfinished galley.  There is a stairway to the flying bridge to starboard and a stairway to the lower deck to port.  Also, doors to the port and starboard side deck.

A passageway from the unfinished pilothouse leads aft to a partially equipped U-shaped galley to port.  Aft is a large saloon with an L-shaped settee with table to port followed by cabinets and shelves.  The starboard saloon features a settee followed by bookcase and door to the aft deck.

The interior is finished primarily with paint surfaces and natural wood.
