Gas system overhauled 2006 with new pipework and alarm Brokers Comments: With only three owners since new. MOONSTREAM is an extremely robustly build offshore cruising yacht ideally suited to live-aboard or extended cruising. Very lightly sailing throughout her ownerships, she has mainly cruised the East Coast or Ireland and the West Coast of Scotland. Purchased by her current owner in February 2006, MOONSTREAM was taken to her current berth in Crinan where she has been lovingly refitted and maintained by the Crinan Boatyard Ltd. In addition to a comprehensive program of refit, MOONSTREAM has further benefitted from extensive updates in 2009 due to a small fire in her generator space which necessitated the fitment of a brand new generator and new upholstery, interior varnish and headlinings (on account of smoke damage). These works have now been completed to the satisfaction of the boatyard, owner and insurance company, which leaves MOONSTREAM now looking much younger than her age. With all of this work now completed and only a small amount of further expenditure required to bring MOONSTREAM completely up to 2009/10 standards, it is a great shame that her owner has sadly passed away before he could enjoy full use of the yacht. This is explains her reason for sale. Realistically priced and with the benefit of ongoing tlc by the Crinan Boatyard, MOONSTREAM is seriously for sale and viewings are recommended. The Berthon offices in Lymington hold an extensive file of original papers stretching back to her build in 1982, and also including the recent insurance works and the survey from the current owners purchase in 2006 Manufacturers Comments: The Seastream 43 has been designed to meet the need for as stable cruising yacht, which is capable of world cruising, without any modification. She is designed by Ian Anderson MRINA. She has a stiff, sea-kindly hull, based on a traditional underwater configuration, which gives good directional stability and yet allows a responsive feel when under sail. The light, airy deck saloon offers the ultimate in comfort, both at sea and in harbour. With an interior helm position, the owner is encouraged to extend his sailing season and explore further afield, as the fatigue created by exposure is eliminated. New features abound aboard the Seastream 43. She has many comforts found in the modern home and yet she has a remarkable sea-going ability. The flush foredeck gives excellent all round visibility for the helmsman and crew, either seated or standing, from both the cockpit and the interior steering positions. It provides a safe working area while at sea and becomes a huge sunbathing area in harbour or in calm conditions. The anchor is stowed either on the stemhead or in the foredeck well, which also houses the windlass. There are berths for at least seven people in three separate cabins and the deck saloon. A U-shaped galley offers all the facilities found in an up to date kitchen with plentiful stowage for a massive amount of food etc. The Mercedes engine has been selected as it has more than adequate power for the roughest conditions and, in the unlikely event that spares are needed, they are readily available anywhere in the world. Great care has been taken to ensure that the noise level is kept to an absolute minimum; a special exhaust muffler and lavish acoustic sound deadening materials have been used. Wide, safe sidedecks enable the most cautious crew to move forward without obstruction. The teak interior is hand finished. |
