DESCRIPTION

REFITS IN 2012, 2014, 2018 AND 2021

FAT SHEILA is a custom, one-of-a-kind, transatlantic motoryacht. It is for the yachtsman that demands the finest. She is available at a very attractive price and ready to explore the world!

FAT SHEILA represents a rare opportunity to purchase a world class and world capable yacht of fantastic comfort and pedigree. She was originally launched at Jongert in 1988 at 71’ and then returned to Jongert in 1995 where the original designer added a larger more comfortable aft deck and new European style transom extension, bringing the yacht to 78’, giving her a much greater cruising range with her additional fuel capacity. Proving herself like few other yachts of her size can, FAT SHEILA made several transatlantic crossings on her own bottom; approx. 100,000+ nautical miles.

Her knowledgeable owners have made many fantastic upgrades and gone to great lengths to ensure all of her systems are in top working order; going through the ship from stem to stern servicing and upgrading. FAT SHEILA just came out of the yard after another $300,000 refit with upgrades. With her updated Naiad Zero speed stabilization system she is more stable and comfortable than one can imagine and the Zero speed feature allows you to anchor anywhere in total comfort.

FAT SHEILA has a complete set of build plans on a single CD.

FAT SHEILA is a fantastic motoryacht with extensive updates and features; there has been no expense spared by this owner since purchase.


Vessel Details

OVERVIEW

FAT SHEILA is an incredible ship. Everywhere you look, you will be amazed at the quality of her

build. The engines are Caterpillar work engines, not typical yacht engines. The generators are

commercial equipment, they run at 1200 RPM, not 1800 RPM as the new units do now. Everywhere

you look thought the yacht she has massive stainless fittings and you can easily see the quality

built into the entire vessel.

The master stateroom with ensuite head is amazing. The master bath is huge with Jacuzzi tub, dual

sinks and large shower, being aft and totally private. The shafts are sealed in oil and then cooled

by sea water, which is an amazing feature. Almost all boats have shafts that are cooled by sea

water. Chances are you have never seen an oil cooled shaft. This is “big ship stuff”. The advantage

is complete quiet and no salt water damage to the shaft. Her current owners have slept in the

master stateroom many times while running, and say they could've been staying in the “Four

Seasons”. The naval architect that oversaw the current owners refit stated that these are normally

only found on megayachts. Full real walkaround decks, oversized anchors and windlass, flybridge

with comfortable seating throughout and room enough for any party.

All the staterooms have great ventilation with hatches, screens and dorades for fresh air.

The salon and pilothouse areas have opening windows and screen doors.

The screen doors are a work of art. Important to note that because she was originally built to US SPECS,

she is a 60 cycle boat.

Just one small example of the fine quality: the (8) deck chairs, the (4) arm chairs and the (2)

Commodore Steamers on the aft deck are made by Barlow Tyrie. These are the finest English teak

chairs (all chairs refinished).

FAT SHEILA received a fresh bottom paint job in 2021.

HISTORY FROM CURRENT OWNER

The extremely knowledgeable, wealthy yachtsman that built the boat originally had several

production boats. He wanted the finest yacht available that could cross the Atlantic and tour

Europe and the Americas; no expense was spared. He chose Jongert for several reasons:

1. Finest Dutch quality. Dutch then and today, some of the finest builders in the world.

2. Their boats routinely circled the globe.

3. The joinery work is incredibly finished.

4. He wanted a boat with a Lloyd 100A4 certificate. Note that almost all boats built today and

then are “built to ABS or Lloyds standard”. They do not have a certificate. There is no one

from outside to certify that the builder really met these standards when built.

5. He wanted an all aluminum boat, weight saving and great strength.
