diesel.
Closed circuit cooled with large seawater
heat exchanger. Hoses were replaced and the
heat exchanger was cleaned in 2017. Coupled to the engine is a new damper plate installed in 2017. Borg Warner Velvet Drive 71C
transmission. All exchangers, as well as the wet
exhaust muffler, are anode protected.
After the
transmission, there is a universal joint and PSS drip-less
shaft seal, followed by three cutlass bearings replaced in 2010.
Large
bronze prop and Max-prop folding prop.
The engine powers the vessel up to 13 knots, and consumes roughly 1.5 liters per nautical mile at 5-6 knots.
The engine room is located below the
cockpit and is big. You can walk around three sides of the engine and there is plenty of room to store tools and supplies. Access to the room is via a hallway connecting the front and back half of the vessel. Alternately, the floor of the
cockpit lifts up and away.
Air supply is via two blowers and a Walker Airsep that reduces engine room odors.
All fuel stored in the 250 liter starboard tank is polished before it reaches the 250 liter port tank. The polishing system employs a high speed transfer
pump and Parker Hannaford 2 micron filter. Fuel from the port tank is then filtered with an additional R510
Racor 2 micron filter.
Batteries used to start the engine can be charged with
solar panels, portable genertor, or the smart engine driven
alternator.
The engine driver
watermaker was replaced in 2016 with a
Spectra watermaker that runs from the
solar panels.
Spares include: Starter
motor,
alternator, damper plate, anodes, belts, new
water pump, and filters.
*****************************************
When Richard Barrie and wife decided to build their second
trimaran they commissioned Jay Kantola. Kantola and Barrie had collaberated on other vessels built at Barrie's place of
work. Barrie was not simply a backyard
builder. Barrie worked as a professional built builder at Western Boatworks in
California. Kantola provided the vessel designs and Barrie supervised the construction. Likely you have already seen one of their most famous vessels. The scale model in the Titanic was built by the Barrie/Kantola team. See:
Western Boatworks | Epoxyworks
When Kantola drafted this trimaran, he was able to draw upon his prior 30 years of trimaran design experience. Windchime SV is a
ketch and one of his earlier trimaran designs and has been in
service since 1973.
Kantola trimarans have two box walls that support the two ama. These box walls can also support masts. Therefore, it is possible to use a
single forward
mast, two masts, or an aft-mast configuration.
This trimaran is believed to be the largest that Kantola designed. The two ama are large enough to convert into crew quarters and could house as many as 10 crew members. The connection arms (aka) that join the center hull to the two ama contain multiple vented compartments. These are great for storing fuel and
propane.
In total, there are over 100
storage areas.
Barrie selected two primary materials to build this vessel from. West System epoxy and Duracore engineered end-grain epoxy planks. When these planks were laid up, and then sealed between layers of
fiberglass and epoxy the result was an extremely strong and light construction.
Importantly, for the
current owner this was also a construction technique that made vessel
maintenance easy. All decks were painted in 2017 with two pack epoxy
paint.
Bottom paint for most vessels is an absolute necessity. However, for an epoxy vessel that is totally impervious to
water,
bottom paint is simply a convenience to reduce
marine growth.
**********************************************
Beginning at the bow there is a large
cabin with one queen sized bunk. This
cabin has
storage lockers, shelving, and large volumes of room below the bunk. Under the floor large storage tank that has never been put into
service.
Moving from this cabin towards the stern we come to two starboard side bunks. These large bunks have storage compartments and a large shelf under the lower bunk. On the port side, is a large
head with walk in
shower and full size sink. Below the floor of the
head there is a 70 gallon black water tank. The wall between the two areas is the dagger board trunk. 6 storage compartments service are located in the head.
Continuing towards the stern you have to duck your head to get through the forward box wall. This is one of two box walls that join the main hull (the Wa'a) to the two ama. The Thai painting you see in the
photo below was painted onto the forward box wall. You can see the
mast step just to the right.
Not shown is the Yamaha CLP-320 full size keyboard on the starboard side. Above that is the Sony 600 Watt
Marine Amplifier. The
galley is on the left of this
photo and the range and sink are not in view. Port side counter tops are Corian. The
oven, located on the starboard side, is a new full size Italian Ariston
stainless steel oven. The oven is built into the
navigation desk not shown.
A hallway leads to the back of the
boat and leads past the engine room.
Ducking your head a second time you have now passed by the second box wall. That second box wall enables the boat to be utilized with a
single mast in the front or back, or a configuration with two masts.
The area you first enter is a large head. There is one wall hung sink, and one large
shower with a privacy surround. The
toilet is located within the shower area and privacy surround.
Opposite the head there is a cabin area with two bunks. Storage in the walls and below the lower bunk an below the floor.
The very stern of the boat is the large owner's suite. It has a king sized
bed and storage below and to the side.
The insides of the two ama were modified in 2010 and 2016 in anticipation of turning them into crew quarters. Ventilation needs to be installed before they can be occupied by as many as 10 crew. 10 crew? Well, if the vessel becomes a
commercial operation, it is anticipated that quite a few crew will be needed.
If the vessel becomes a
day sailing boat for tourists, the two rear trampolines can be easily be converted to solid
deck surfaces with seating for 20 passengers each side. These areas can also easily be shaded.
Again, the
current owner can make modifications for you or even participate in your plans to use the vessel whether it is for pleasure or business.
