Vessel Details
Forward V-Berth upper and lower w/hanging locker, under berth storage and behind and under sink storage. Folding mast steps provide direct outside access through a full sized overhead hatch.
Next, aft to port is an enclosed double cabin w/upper and lower berths, bureau, hanging locker and adjoining head which is accessible from the galley but can be closed off for privacy at night. Overhead hatch and opening ports provide plenty of ventilation.
Opposite is a 12-foot long fore and aft Galley with front load 9.5 cu.ft. Refrigerator and 5.5 cu.ft. Deep freeze operates on separate 32v Grunnert systems refurbished in 2001. The galley also contains a four burner electric stove top, with microwave/convection oven underneath. A unique wine storage area under the fridge keeps your white wine cooled. Corian counter tops, deep double sink, built in storage for china, glasses and spices mean convenience. Opening ports and hatch provide ventilation.
Move up two steps, storage behind each step, to the raised deck salon, with L-shaped settee and drop leaf table to port which can be raised to bar height or lowered to coffee table height. This unique table allows for seating, then slides diagonally in and can accommodate six to eight for dinner. Adjacent to the dining area is the office hidden from view until you lower the desktop to reveal computer, printer, phone, file drawer and writing table.
To starboard in the salon are the chart table and navigation lockers housing SSB radio and Television/VCR. Additional cabinets house the Black and Decker central vacuum system, Bose stereo components with remote control and three storage drawers. The large windows and light surfaces and woodwork in the main salon keep the interior light and airy, while an overhead hatch adds ventilation. The partial bulkhead between the salon and galley adds to the open layout, and allows the cook to take part in the socializing.
Explorer is one of only three yachts of this design built with a walk-through hall to the aft owners' cabin. To port is the carpeted walk in engine room. Completely soundproofed and laid out to permit complete accessibility to every piece of equipment. There are redundant systems throughout and spare parts too numerous to list. Explorer was re-powered in 1996 with a 135 hp John Deere turbo diesel that now has 1000 hours.
Electric power is supplied by a 12.5kw, 220 volt Westerbeke diesel generator, a 70 amp main engine driven 32v alternator, two 40 amp 12v alternators, and a new 2500 watt Heart Inverter/Charger. In the hallway to starboard is the Laundry Room with storage cabinets under, and a cedar-lined owner's hanging locker.
The aft owners' cabin includes an in-suite bath and separate shower, and a separate, private entrance onto the aft deck. Built-in cabinets chests and under the bed access provide ample storage. A handy bedside switch connects to the mizzen spreader lights to provide additional security lighting. Separate thermostat and A/C provide comfort.
From the salon four steps up, storage under each step, is the Pilot House. It has a hard top with sail view skylight and windows on three sides. The windshield wipers are an advantage. The additional vinyl top extends to the boom crutch, and the eisenglass curtains can be dropped to fully enclose the cockpit in inclement weather, or during storage. They are also designed to snap out along the lifelines to provide ventilation underway or at anchor. All new electronics in 1996 include a Raytheon 16 mile radar, chart plotter, and GPS. All are located in cockpit for access while underway. The Raytheon autopilot is operated without leaving the captains chair and the electric winch for furling all sails is operated from the same position. Large under seat lockers port and aft, and reversible, closed cell foam cockpit cushions, are provided. Large lazarette aft holds lines, fenders, boarding ladder, shore power cables, etc. Fresh water wash down is forward near the Ideal electric windlass. The starboard lifelines can be detached to facilitate placing the dinghy on deck for long passages; otherwise the custom stainless steel davits aft are perfect for short hops and while at anchor. "Explorer" was designed for extended cruising. The height of her rig allows ICW bridge clearance and her 6' draft allows shoal water cruising such as the Bahamas. Elegant lines with 17' of overhang. Heavily built in solid fiberglass with hull thicknesses up to 2". At 30 tons displacement "Explorer" is a dry, sea kindly boat, with a full keel offering a solid, comfortable feel under sail or power. In 16 to 30 knots of wind, or when powering at 1600 rpm, she cruises easily at 8 knots. The entire inside of the hull below the waterline is insulated with 3/8" neoprene, providing insulation against temperatures and noises. "Explorer" carries 400 gallons of fuel, and 120-gallon holding tank. All tanks are fiberglass and rigidly bonded to the hull. She holds 500 gallons of water, and the watermaker produces 12 gallon per hour.
