INTRODUCING THE NEW HORIZON V65

Winterize Your Yacht

KeepIng your boat winter ready

By Captain Chris Couch of CompassHeadings.com 

 

  • Place stable non tippable space heaters in the following areas:
    • Salon
    • Foyer serving the staterooms
    • Engine room
    • Lazarette.
  • If your engines have block heaters, the engine room heater is not needed.
  • Ensure all units and cords are in good or new condition.
  • Add up the amperage needed by the heaters along with what the boat normally uses at the dock.  
    • Do not forget water heater and battery chargers.
  • Ensure the total amperage is well below your shore power supply.
  • Keep the thermostats turned down so they will only run when it gets cold.  
  • Place covers over the engine room vents keep the cold air out.
  • Don't forget to pay a visit every couple of weeks to start and run all engines and systems.

Remember, the best way to maintain your boat, is to use your boat.

 

 

The Amazing Journey by Stephen S.

I'm just flying back from Australia, where I went to see our new boat.  In case you haven't heard, we are naming it BOOYAA!  We closed on the boat this week and I flew to Australia to take a look at it before it is shipped to Seattle.

 

This has been about a 2 ½ year project, and has been a really fun, amazing journey.  When I first learned about this boat, it was a mere CAD drawing on the architect's computer.  It has been really cool to see it develop from concept to reality.

 

I cannot begin to express my excitement over how good the boat looks and how much fun it is going to be to actually get to use it.  Riviera, the company building the boat, and my Broker, Rob Scott, have done an absolutely amazing job throughout the entire process, and it has been a PROCESS.  It would have been much simpler if we had just ordered a stock boat. But, since we know how we will use the boat, and we have some specific needs (did I mention TUNA fishing?), we made dozens of custom changes.

 


 

The boat has three engines, and they use a new technology called IPS which allows you to dock the boat with a joystick.  There is a "pod" under each engine, and the propellers rotate 360 degrees, so thrust can be applied in any direction (left, right, forward, back), so you can literally drive the boat sideways. 

 

This is the second time I have visited the factory.  I have been shocked by the number of craftsmen it takes to build a boat like this (electricians, fiberglass workers, plumbers, stainless steel craftsmen, wood workers, upholsters, glass workers, painters, etc...).  The number of systems, and the amount of wiring, controls, breakers, plumbing, etc... is astounding...  It is basically a highly functioning home, that floats, and makes it's own water and electricity.

 

We will have a SeaKeeper stabilizer installed in Seattle. When you turn it on, it takes 30 minutes to warm up, rotates at well over 10,000 RPM, and keeps the boat from pitching and rolling when you are in choppy or rough water. It is basically a large, very heavy gyro.   Instead of the boat rolling around, the boat sits still and the stabilizer rolls. 

 Here's the nearly-finished-product, with me on the bow.  This puts the size of the boat into perspective.  It is huge.  I say it's nearly-finished because, once it reaches Seattle, there will still be 2-3 months of work to outfit the boat with things like navigation electronics, water maker, ice chipper, radar, satellite TV, antennas, radios, etc...

 

Master stateroom.  One of the cool parts about the Pod drives I mentioned above is that the engines can be moved way aft of where they would normally be, leaving lots of room for a huge, full-beam master.  This is very rare in a boat this size.  

Master stateroom.  This is a full size king bed.  

    

Seating cushions not installed yet.  The large window on the left side opens, and is hinged on the top, so combined with the open door, the galley is a very large open space.  The galley comes with three refrigerators and a freezer, ice maker, dishwasher, microwave, stove and oven. 

 
Neil, the guy with the blue shirt, designed the boat from the waterline up.  He has been great to work with.  Rob and I made many suggestions and custom changes which he gladly accommodated.  I can't say enough good things about the way they have handled all aspects of the custom changes we made.

   

DECEMBER'S FEATURED YACHTS

 

78' Northcoast
Horizon 54
"Serenity" was built by a reputable Pacific North West yard and is the epitomy of the craftsmanship that this region exemplifies. She features FIVE staterooms en-suite and a very large Flybridge deck. Jacuzzi in the master stateroom is but a few of the incredible options she has. She is perfect for a charter vessel as well as a very comfortable live-aboard.

42' Nordic Tug

Horizon 54
Here's a great Northwest long range trawler/cruiser. Better than many so-called trawlers, the 42 Nordic Tug can cruise at anywhere from 9-13 knots. It's far more efficient at 8-9 but nice to have the 10+ speeds when the situation dictates.

"Seaductress" is a one owner vessel that has received constant care and upgrading. Her impressive equipment list along with her agressive pricing make her the next 548 Raised Pilothouse to be sold.

Everything on the boat stays and is included in the sale of the vessel.  A complete exterior detail is near completion and is in the process of receiving a comprehensive Fall service.  A motivated seller makes this a fantastic opportunity for her new owner!
