Overview

Accommodations

'Big Blue is very roomy below, with a large galley and dinette, navigation station, pilot berth, two staterooms and full-width head.

Starting forward, there is a V-berth with twin hanging lockers and a large overhead hatch for light and ventilation. Next aft is a full-beam head with macerating head and shower. A sink and vanity with spacious storage are to starboard and there is a teak grate in the shower. The main salon has a U-shaped dinette to port with a single pilot berth above. To starboard is a settee berth with storage lockers above and outboard. Aft of the settee is a forward facing Nav station with electric panel, VHF and storage beneath the chart table. The L-shaped galley is at the foot of the companionway to port. It is designed for convenient and safe operation underway, and features a double s/s sink, 4-burner propane stove with oven, 12 Volt refrigerator, ice chest, spacious counters and storage. The second stateroom is aft to starboard, with double berth and hanging locker.

All staterooms feature Hella turbo fans, LED lighting, and ample ventilation. All salon lighting is LED.

Deck and Hull

The cockpit is large, with molded transom steps and a fresh water shower. There is a deep and spacious port storage locker and life raft storage aft of the companionway.

Teak decks for traction and durability surround the white coach top roof.

Cut-away reverse transom with two-tiered swim platform (sugar scoop) and custom built 4-rung removable swim ladder.

Hull and deck are a mixed composite of carbon, fiberglass, kevlar and cored with Divinycell.

Keel and rudder were designed by Jim Taylor and modified by Waterline Systems to a deep elliptical rudder and addition of a keel shoe

Note: A feature that makes Big Blue an exceptional boat for single-handing and couples is her nke Autopilot and its MOB function. The Pilot Remote Control is synchronized with the autopilot; it can, therefore, recognize when the person wearing the remote has gone overboard (the pilot instantly loses the signal from the remote when the remote is submerged or is at a preset distance from the computer). The loss of signal sets off an MOB alarm which turns the boat head to wind and HOLDs it there until (a) the skipper climbs back aboard and disengages the MOB function or (b) the remaining crew reads the nke displays for distance and bearing to the MOB and makes a successful retrieval. There are also programmable EPIRB and distress signal functions.

The NKE system installed is the same system found on boats like those in the Vendee Globe and cost in excess of $50K.
