The Refrigeration System is a cold plate system which is belt driven off the engine and there is approximately seven cubic feet of refrigerator that is front loading, and approximately seven cubic feet of freezer that is top loading. The compressor, cooling coil, dryer and sight glass were all replaced. This galley would be the delight of any chef or mother with a large family to feed.

The WaterMakers, Inc. Water Maker system panel is located below the range area and features a 15 gallon per hour, 44 inch membrane. No need to be stingy with water on this yacht! The low pressure water pump is brand new and the high pressure pump is belt driven and runs like new. The water maker system feeds 4 ~ 50 gallon stainless water tanks, for a total of 200 gallons. These tanks are housed under the salon floor and can also be filled by deck inlets directly to the tanks.

The Custom Built stainless steel swim platform was laid over with African mahogany strips for comfort and style. A five ~ step ladder eases entry from dinghy to swim platform. A transom shower makes for quick and easy cleanups when returning from the beach and keeps the sand off the deck. The 600 watt World Power Technology wind generator (not working) is mounted on the swim deck.
The Entire Deck was refinished with Durabak-18 polyurethane roll-on which contains rubber granules instead of sand to provide non-slip surfaces that are gentle on the feet and knees. The Durabak non-skid is a soft cream color with white trim. The walk areas around the cockpit and forward are extra wide with stainless life lines all around. All lexan hatches were replaced and custom snap-on covers were added in navy sunbrella to protect the hatches. Two deck boxes house three ~ 20 gallon propane tanks plus extra room for sail straps, a portable sun shade and other essentials.
The Custom Cockpit enclosure is the centerpiece of the topside. It has a custom anodized aluminum frame with a navy, no-lace stamoid covering. The sides are top of the line stratoglas sheets which slide in and out, zip up or rollup and with interior screens to keep bugs out. Above the captain’s seat is a clear skylight which allows for a clean view of the mainsail. The inside seating is custom upholstered cushions with quick-dry foam with plastic mesh backing. The forward hard dodger has three large glass windows for good all around viewing with the center front window opening out. A custom built table for cockpit dining folds down and against the helm for storage while underway. This custom enclosure effectively adds another room to the vessel and serves as a gathering place while underway or at anchor.

The Helm contains a large wheel, Garmin 188C GPS, color depth sounder, chart plotter, and fish finder, 16 mile Furuno Radar, wireless VHF radio/mic, and engine controls. The instrument panel includes fuel gauges, tachometer, oil pressure, volts, and custom dual horns.
There are 4 large self tailing Barbarosa winches which are top of the line and work flawlessly. All pulleys and deck hardware are top quality and extra heavy duty. All new halyards, lines, and sta-lock fittings on standing rigging were just installed. The foredeck contains a Six man Avon life raft which was last inspected and certified in 2004 with all consumables replaced. It also has a custom navy sunbrella cover. Just forward of the main mast is a 2 X 4 custom deck cushion made of quick dry foam with plastic mesh backing for comfortable sunning. Forward of this is the electric windlass. Two lockers are accessible from on deck via teak hatches and provide a tremendous amount of storage. The genoa is a full genoa with roller furling and a storm sail and spare mainsail are also included. There are 4 extra large fenders, 200’ of line with 30’ of chain for the 2nd anchor, a third fold-up anchor that weighs 35 pounds, and lots of extra dock lines. A new anchor light was recently installed on the mainmast and a solar powered anchor light is mounted on the mizzen mast which does not require the use of power for unattended anchor lighting.
Sanctuary received a complete bottom job during her 2004 and 2005 refit. Above the waterline was painted with Awl Craft 2000. Below the waterline was stripped, barrier coated and primed before the application of 3 coats of Trinidad SR. The cutlass bearing was changed, all thru-hulls were replaced, the new transducer for the Garmin was mounted and the zincs replaced. See pictures for a view of the bottom at launching. Sanctuary comes with a 1990 Avon 11’ RIB tender, a 2006 15 HP Yamaha outboard, two ~ 5 gallon gas tanks. Have some additional questions? Contact Us Today!
