DESCRIPTION

No hurricane damage but she suffers from deferred maintenance, priced to reflect current condition.

This boat needs work but has good bones that could be a sound bluewater cruiser after a refit.

I had the pleasure of working with the original owner and as a dealer for Sundeer Yachts. Sea Fever was built at TPI Composites, the original owner spared no expense in her construction and maintenance.  Sea Fever has a unique forward layout that offers a better sea berth with separate head & shower compartments.

Accommodations

Sea Fever has the Dashew designed master stateroom forward with a watertight bulkhead separating the huge forepeak storage compartment from the living accommodation. This private stateroom consists of a port side Queen-size berth (Upgrade Plan B) with storage under and individual reading lights. Four drawers and three large storage compartments are located underneath the bed for more easily accessible storage. There are three extra large hanging lockers to starboard, with a large fiddled shelf above. A vanity is located on the starboard side with a polished stainless steel sink. The vanity countertop has storage and easily accessed plumbing beneath, and a curved, opening bin storage compartment behind it.
Besides the two reading lights, there is also a fluorescent light over the berth and adjustable light for the vanity. The master stateroom has two fixed, non-opening ports, a large 24x24 Bomar opening hatch, two dorade vents with Vetus air scoops, and three 12VDC Caframo fans.
Forward of the stateroom is a full-size head with storage cabinets to port and a Raritan 2 manual toilet connected to a 40-gal holding tank when inshore, and a separate full-sized shower with a seat to starboard. There is additional storage space in the shower.
Leaving the forward master stateroom and moving aft, one enters the salon that contains an L-shaped dinette with a dining table and seating for six to port. The dinette and starboard settee are custom upholstered. The salon contains an AM/FM radio/stereo cassette/CD/MP3 player with two external Bose speakers. There are two additional outdoor marine speakers in the pilothouse. The teak cabin sole has walnut shell non-skid strips, and all teak trim is varnished. The cabin soles and lockers and drawers have positive locking latches for added safety at sea. Settees are fitted with lee cloths and may be used safely as offshore berths. Above and outboard of the settee backs is flat shelf type storage areas that have custom teak bookshelves. The multiple fixed ports found in the vertical hull surfaces in the salon and throughout Sea Fever below decks have hideaway-pleated shades to reduce daylight and keep dockside-prying eyes at bay! The overhead ceilings are vinyl foam backed material covered on Velcro removable panels. There are two large 31x31 opening Bomar hatches in the salon, and two Bomar 10x10 opening hatches above the nav station and galley, multiple dorade vents, fans, and lighting throughout, making for a very well ventilated boat, especially when underway. The 200-gallon each matching port and starboard molded outboard freshwater tanks form the base of the settee backs. These tanks may be used to a moderate degree as water ballast to assist ship’s trim offshore. Beneath the eight settee seats are storage compartments for bulk items.
Toward the aft end of the salon and to port is the U-shaped galley with centerline island. Contained in this area and outboard of the centerline double sinks is the gimbaled Force 10 three-burner stove with oven and broiler.
On centerline in the galley are located the twin, deep double stainless steel sinks with pressure hot/cold water and cabinet storage beneath. The composite Corian Fountain-top countertops allow access to the large top loading freezer as well as the top and side-loading refrigerator.
The storage in the galley area continues! Outboard is two more Corian counter work surfaces with curved front bin storage compartments, a huge vertical food storage locker, pot and pan locker, and storage on centerline beneath the sink and five-drawer storage at the end of the galley island.
Aft of the starboard settee is the sit-down ships office/navigation center. There is storage beneath the navigator’s seat, in the lift up chart desk and outboard in a curved bin. Behind the navigator’s seatback is a large hanging locker with shelf. To the right of the navigator is the DC/AC Paneltronics distribution panel. In the overhead is a 10x10 Bomar opening port and dorade. At the desktop, navigation station is all the electronic equipment: Trimble GPS, Furuno radar, ICOM IC-710 SSB, Horizon VHF, B&G Hydro 2 instrument head and Iridium satellite phone (see Electronics for specifics). There is also a large LCD screen connected to a powerful, dedicated Pentium-4 computer for running email and Maxsea navigation software.
Aft of the navigation station on the starboard side is the aft ship’s head with Raritan 2 manual toilet connected to a 40 gal holding tank when inshore, a washbasin with ample storage space below, and a shower with curtain plus a portable washer.
Across from the navigation area and aft of the galley is the private guest stateroom with upper and lower berths, with lee cloths, Dorade vent, opening hull port, large opening port to the cockpit with the optional screen, Caframo fan, and overhead and bunk lighting. You will find more storage in two vertical lockers on the centerline and beneath the lower berth. With minimum motion and separated from the main cabin, these make excellent berths for the off watch while underway. A custom watertight Bomar hatch low on the starboard side provides excellent access to the port side of the engine (starter motor, raw water impeller, and alternator).
The large, comfortable living area has no thru-hulls, completely eliminating the possibility of below waterline hull leaks in the living areas.
There is an enormous amount of storage throughout the interior. The large forepeak accommodates a full sail inventory, fenders, dock lines, spare sheets and halyards, spare anchors, a sea anchor and much more. These items are securely contained in stainless pipe storage bins with the all chain main anchor rode contained in a large PVC vertically mounted self-stowing tube mounted directly beneath the on-deck windlass. Also located in this compartment is the forward bilge pump. The compartment is lit by 12VDC fluorescent lighting and contains the remote control for the windlass. Access is via a deck mounted 24x24 Bomar hatch and a swinging stainless ladder. The depth and speed transponders are accessible through hatches in the flooring.
There are two more very important safety features in Sea Fever, custom installed when she was built. The house batteries are accommodated in the top of the keel, but in this case have been enclosed in two watertight compartments, each with three access hatches and ventilation. Secondly, there is a belt-operated emergency pump on the forward starboard end of the engine, connected to a two-inch PVC pipe extending the length of the boat, with valves in the forward peak, the saloon, the battery compartment, and the engine room. If anyone becomes flooded, the relevant valve can be opened, the engine started and a switch on the nav station control panel will start evacuation of the water at a considerable rate.
The aft engine room is separated from the main cabin by a sound insulated watertight bulkhead. It has standing headroom, a workbench with vise, and storage bins on the starboard side. There is excellent overhead lighting. In this compartment, you will find all of the ship’s machinery and thru-hulls to keep noise, heat and possible leakage out of the living areas. There are two fuel saddle tanks of approximately 117 gallons each. Fuel may be shifted from tank to tank by a 12VDC fuel transfer pump. These tanks may also be used, in conjunction with the water tanks, as ballast tanks.
The engine room is accessed through the starboard cockpit bench seat. When open one has full standing room for work on a substantial workbench with a large vise. Above the bench is the Balmar 40 gals/hour water maker, (presently pickled) which makes water while the batteries are being charged, as it is driven by a belt-driven high-pressure Cat pump powered by an 8-KW Kubota diesel engine. The stainless steel fuel tanks are mounted to port and starboard and fitted with access cleaning hatches and drain valves for draining and cleaning. A 12VDC remote oil change system pumps out both the generator and the main engine’s oil for fast and easy oil changes.
The lazarette is enormous and will accommodate all the necessary items for a world voyage. The area is accessible via two deck hatches at the aft starboard end of the cockpit and is equipped with approximately fifty drawers where all the smaller spare parts are stored – all perfectly listed in a most comprehensive Excel spreadsheet.
The deck area, as with all of Steve and Linda Dashew’s vessels, is designed for ease of sailing and is uncluttered. The cockpit is located aft with a fixed, custom-built aluminum pilothouse (see the following description). There is a custom radar/antennae mast, cockpit cushions, swim platform, etc. All sail control lines are led aft to the cockpit. The propane locker is mounted in its own sealed compartment aft to port and contains two 20 lb. aluminum propane bottles. In the unlikely case of propane leakage, the compartment drains safely overboard. The deck has been designed with fresh water fills located aft port and starboard to allow for rain catchment so you may fill the ships' tanks without going to a dock to replenish!.
