Hi,
I am looking for ideas, and new ways to showcase this yacht. The yacht is in
South Africa, I have it advertised on apolloduck, which links to the yachts own website. Also I have been giving
Google, a (small fortune) for adwords account, And of course local brokers.
I bought the yacht as incomplete, the original owner ran out of time, So I loaded it on a flat
bed. and had it shipped from Jo'burg to
Cape Town. The Yacht was launched without ceremony, in 2010, and I completed her over the next 3 years (full time work) I did originally plan to
cruise her myself.............but stuff happens!
I do need to sell it now, I have it priced @ 145k
All systems are well thought out,great care has been taken in
installation of all
equipment,
wiring, woodwork , machinery.
The
cockpit is a spacious relaxing, yet functional area, with the
steering and control console, the seats are
teak , the
dodger protects against excess
wind and spray. There is a matching cover which further encloses the
cockpit while in port, which can be used as an awning .
The
deck is uncluttered with spacious open areas, and not so many things to bite us. The raised gunwale is
teak capped, traditional, and*accentuates the pleasing sheerline.
The
mast is
deck stepped. The
sails are built for cruising by North
Sails, and include a 150%
genoa,
mainsail and stormsail. The
mainsail folds into a stackpack, and the
genoa has the Profurl manual
furling system. The lazerette is accessed through a
hatch on the transom, inside is a sealed locker (with
overboard leak drain) for a 7kg *gas bottle, and more than adequate space for fenders etc. The gas bottle is opened electrically and remotely when required.
Moving below, through the
companionway, the
galley is to port, the navstation and pilot
cabin to starboard. The
saloon is spacious, and well appointed with very comfortable seating to port and starboard. Stainless
water tank to port under seat, and flexible
tanks to starboard. Forward of the
saloon is a v berth
cabin complete with
electric head,
shower and ample
storage including a hanging locker. The large deck
hatch opens into this cabin.
The
Compass 47 is known for it's generous
headroom, but the numbers actually are:
Main Saloon 190cm or 6' 3"
Forward Cabin/ Loo 185cm or 72"
Galley and pilot berth 185cm or 72"
Aft Cabin/Loo 168cm or 66"
Moving aft, the galley has an outwards view, ample working surfaces, hot and cold
water at the sink, a gas
oven with two top burners, and
grill. The
oven is on gimbals. The access to the fridge is through a top lid on the corner counter.
This yacht has a very comfortable aft master cabin, with large double
bed and seating and dressing area , also with its own
electric head and
shower. A large hatch* gives additional deck access. This space has more than sufficient
storage.
On the starboard and opposite side to the galley is
Navigation station with all the instruments required. Behind is a 3rd cabin, This is the pilot berth, or often used as a utility space, for extra storage, however as a private cabin it is comfortable, with it's own access to the aft head. Thediesel
generator is housed under the bunk in this cabin.
The main
engine is easily reached via a removable panel behind the
companionway steps, and removable doors in the galley and the pilot berth. The whole
engine space is acoustically insulated to reduce machinery
noise. The engine is a*78hp
Perkins ADE 4236.
The
interior is finished in American cherry, framing and paneling, and some items such as companionway steps in Burmese Teak The deck-head is finished with curved
panels.
Interior hatch moldings are varnished teak. *The new owner will be able to choose
fabric design and colors to their own taste
This yacht will become a much loved cruising home, and a
purchase that will give great satisfaction , she is ready to be be viewed , at the Royal Cape Yacht Club.
Thanks for any help
