(lead) Hull Deck Material: Fiberglass Hull Configuration: Modified Full Keel Engine: Yanmar Diesel, 60HP (4JH-HTBE) Cruising Speed: 6.5 knots at 2200 rpm. Fuel Tankage: 55 Gallons (new fuel tank in 2008) Water Tankage: 150 Gallons (all new tanks in 2008) LUANA is a true cruising boat modified for independent live aboard in remote areas without the need for shore side support. She has been refined for ocean sailing with a minimum of crew. She was purchased new by the owners. She has never been in charter and has been our home since 1996. Prior to 1996 she was our "vacation home". Live aboard owners have cruised the Caribbean, Bahamas and Bermuda. Great care has been taken in maintaining her and many improvements have been made. Fuel and water tanks new in 2008. All systems are of the highest quality. LUANA is in excellent condition. She is ready, as is, to sail the world and is NOT a project boat. Must be seen to be appreciated. Presently available in the United States on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.

Accommodations

Accommodations include a large main salon with a generous dining table. The two settees become two queen sized bunks. A forward stateroom provides privacy and generous sleeping quarters for two. A separate aft master stateroom includes a queen sized bed and generous drawer/storage space. Luana has two heads with showers, one forward and one in the aft stateroom. In addition there is one hot water outdoor shower. Custom teak cabinet in the aft cabin and numerous custom storage areas throughout. There is a walk-through galley on the port side and a navigation station on the starboard

Polypropylene holding tanks on both heads. 25 gallons on the forward head and 18 gallons for the aft head. Manual Henderson pumps for pumping out the holding tanks. Tanks may also be pumped out via a deck connection.

Equipment & Improvments

All equipment and systems have been selected and installed with durability, minimizing maintenance; ease of maintenance, ease of operation, efficiency, safety and comfort in mind. The following improvements and equipment have been installed to realize these goals;

Sail Complement & Deck Arrangement:

1. Sail complement consists of a 130 genoa and a 90% working jib both mounted on large drum Schafer 3100 furlers. The Furlers were new in 2002. The working jib is heavily built and may be furled to storm jib size. The working jib is mounted directly behind the genoa. The mainsail is full battened and installed on a Schafer large size furling boom operated with Lewmar electric winch. The mainsail and furling boom were new in 2002. All sail handling is from the cockpit. A wisker pole is mounted on a track on the mast for down wind sailing. Running backstays have been installed. A spare internal main and jib halyard is installed. The cockpit is uncluttered and the mainsail system has been flawless since installation.

2. Self steering is via a Sailomat 601 wind vane which was installed in 1997. The wind vane has been maintenance free. A Simrad WP-5000 wheel pilot is installed for motoring and sailing in light wind and seas.

3. A Simson Lawrence Seawolf Horizontal windless handles the 45 lb. Spade anchor with 63' of 10mm stainless steel chain and 250' of ¾" three strand nylon line. The second/spare anchor is a Fortress. For extreme conditions I use both anchors in tandem with 10' of chain between the Fortress and Spade. A saltwater washdown is installed for the anchor system.

Electrical, Electronics & Navigation:

1. A complete revamp of the electrical supply and charging regulating system. This includes three 8D Deka gell house batteries for a total of 660 AH of capacity. These batteries are new in 2006 and replace an identical set of batteries which lasted 12 years. An isolated gell engine starting battery. All batteries are housed in a custom battery mount secure with any boat motion. The battery charging and monitoring is controlled via Ample Power three step smart regulator and Ample Power smart isolator between house and starting batteries. No switching of battery switches is necessary. Battery monitoring is via a LCD screen with any data required for battery control at your fingertips. Accurate monitored data includes; percentage batteries are discharged, AH remaining, AH used, lifetime AH used, trip AH, battery temperature, voltage, amps exiting or entering the batteries, high temperature alarm, high voltage alarm, low voltage alarm. Amps and AH for solar panel and wind generator are also monitored. All wiring for these systems are numbered and a complete wiring schematic is included.

2. Installation of a 200 amp Amp Tech large frame alternator on the 60 HP Yanmar auxiliary diesel. This alternator is mounted on a custom mount and driven via dual belts off a separate pulley mounted to the engine crankshaft. These belts do not pass over the water pump. Belt alignment is held true and belts normally last two thousand hours. The original Yanmar alternator has been replaced with a Balmar 75 amp alternator. This alternator is normally not used and is a spare. To activate this alternator simply connect the field wire to the external ample power regulator.

3. Supplemental battery charging is via a 120 watt Kyocera solar panel and a Four Winds wind generator. The wind generator is a powerful 5' dia. two blade model which generates 5 amps in a 10 knot breeze. It is very quite and durable. Too date it has generated 55000 AH with one brush replacement on the generator in 10 years of operation. Both the solar panel and wind generator have there own regulator and are monitored via the Ample Power battery monitoring system.

4. One Heart Interface 2000 watt inverter tied into all the 110V outlets on the boat. A single large GFI is installed on the outlet side of the inverter to insure safe operation of all outlets while using the inverter. The inverter includes a 100 amp battery charger while plugged into shore power.

5. Electronics include: One Navico log sumlog at the helm. One Simrad depth sounder at the helm. One Icom IC-M802 SSB mounted at the navigation station below deck. One Pactor III modem to send an receive email and request and receive weather over the SSB. One Icom IC-M56 VHF radio mounted at the navigation station below deck. One Standard Horizon HX260S handheld VHF. One Pioneer DEH-P3600 AM/FM/CD player with separate high power four channel amp. The system drives two speakers below and two speakers in the cockpit. The system is capable of plugging in an IPOD.

6. Navigation equipment includes: One Garmin 75 GPS(including external antenna) mounted below deck with an ICS NAV6 LCD screen repeater mounted at the helm. Any information residing on the GPS may be displayed on the remote screen and custom screens may be constructed. One Garmin 45 GPS handheld as a backup GPS.

Refrigeration & Watermaker:

1. The factory refrigeration system has been completely replaced while maintaining the factory galley counter top design. The refrigeration system is a 12V Glacier Bay holding plate system. A separate refrigerator and freezer box is installed. Both the freezer & refrigerator boxes are custom made to Glacier Bay specifications. The refrigerator has 6" to 8" of closed cell foam board insulation and the freezer box has 8" to 10" of closed cell foam board insulation. The refrigerator is 22" deep x 22" long x 16" wide. The freezer is 22" deep x 18" long x 16" wide. All outside insulation surfaces are free to the air to prevent condensation from eventually saturating the insulation - part of the Glacier Bay specification. Temperature control is automatic and requires no operator action. Again, this system was selected for efficiency, durability and ease of maintenance. The system utilizes the modern non Freon refrigerant which can be purchased by non professionals. Freon is becoming very expensive and not readily available.

2. A Spectra Model 380c watermaker was installed in September of 2002. It has a 14 GPH capacity and is the most efficient system on the market. It has required only normal maintenance since installation. The system includes an optional Zeta Rod pretreatment system to prevent formation of biological growth and scale on the membrane. Control of the system is through an optional MPC 3000 electronic controller. This controller allows control of system on/off, fresh water back-flush, monitoring of all system parameters, alarm control and run time selection via a push of a button.

Safety Equipment:

1. One six man Switlik MD-1 coastal life raft. One life sling. One horseshoe buoy with ACR automatically activated strobe attached. Sea anchor. One ACR 406 EPIRB. One PUR handheld watermaker and flares for life raft.

Underbody:

1. Three bladed Max Prop feathering propeller. Blade pitch may be adjusted in the water. No hauling necessary for pitch adjustment.

2. A blister job was performed on the bottom in 2001. We were getting a few small shallow blisters in previous years and decided to have the problem fixed permanently. The gell coat and first layer of mat were peeled from the hull by a professional team at Zanheisers Marina on the Chesapeake bay. The hull needed only three weeks to dry and it was covered with vinyl ester mat and faired. The guarantee is for 10 years, however, they say that they have never had a return on a boat as long as the hull remains undamaged. We see no blisters.

Dinghy & Motor

1. One AB 3.50AL aluminum RIB dink with 15HP Yamaha four stroke outboard. Both were new in 2004. A custom dink chap is included with the dink.

2. One Kato marine motor lift with Edson stern rail motor mount.

1. A partial list of spare parts and special tools include: Ample power regulator, Injectors + water pump + fuel lift pump + hoses & gaskets for Yanmar diesel, Brushes for alternators and refrigerator motor, Bearings for windless, custom tool to remove/install cutless bearing, rebuild kits for all pumps aboard. Manifold/refrigerant and hoses for topping off the refrigerator along with belt and water pump for refrigerator. The list is too long to itemize completely.
