Overview
ESTRELLA DEL MAR was purchased by a Great Lakes boating family in 2014. The family enjoys cruising the Great Lakes and Inland Waterways and anchoring out is much preferred to staying in marinas. Accordingly, the vessel was set up to accommodate these preferences. The flybridge and mast were modified to reduce the air draft to just 14’4” and with just 4’6” draft ESTRELLA DEL MAR is able to navigate many regions unobtainable to most vessels of this size including Hudson Valley, Lake Champlain, the Erie Canal, the New York Finger Lakes, wine district, the Seneca Canal, America’s Great Loop, and the Northeast Circle Loop. The yacht is configured with many features focused on simplicity and long?term cruising. All on board systems can be operated off batteries and inverters for at least 20+ hours. 100% of lighting is LED and all systems are energy efficient to enable operating one of the two 20kw generators only 3 hours per day to top off the 1680Ah house bank and the isolated 680Ah pilothouse bank of batteries. There is a 500?gallon fresh water capacity with a 40?gallon pressure tank and a 2?micron whole?boat filtration system. A fresh water RO system with UV sterilizer maintains a separate water supply of purified water in a 6?gallon pressure tank. The system can continuously rotate and polish the tank water through the filtration system. The waste system is a Sealand VacuFlush that uses only 1 cup of fresh water per flush and with the 600? gallon holding tank capacity the vessel can go for extended cruises without worry of locating a pump out facility.
Following the extensive upgrades detailed below the entire interior of the yacht was re?finished to maintain her classic appearance. The forward crew area was gutted to the stringers and refabricated into a full cabin in the same quality as the aft three ‘owners’ cabins into a ‘family’ suite with a queen berth, 2 double bunks, and an ensuite head. In winter of 2017 the entire exterior of the yacht was Awlgrip painted by Scarano Yacht Works of Albany, NY.
