  1. Upon entering the neat and compact engine room, your eye is drawn to the centerline sea chest and the multiple but clearly labeled, air conditioner units, lined up on a shelf like soldiers at the ready. Simulated diamond plate floor panels are light to help reduce weight and facilitate movement when access to the lower engines or bilge is needed. Electrical power is courtesy of two 30 kw Northern Lights gen sets. The yacht runs 220 volt, 110 volt and 60 hz electrical systems. A center-line keel runs almost fully aft for stability and is equipped with Naiad Stabilizers sporting 9 sq. ft. fins, adding to the stability factor when underway. And for the extra nudge when docking, a 36-hp hydraulic bow thruster is at the ready. A stern thruster can be added.
  2. Propulsion is supplied by twin Caterpillar C32 engines (1675 hp), coupled to ZF gears and controlled by Glendinning electronic controls, spinning four-blade bronze props. Delta-T filtration and fans keep the big blocks breathing in clean air. Engine beds are fiberglass, bonded to the hull with the load distributed on steel channels. A Reverso oil change pump system handles the task for the engines and generators. Fire suppression is by a Sea Fire FE-200 fire extinguisher system. Preventive maintenance should be easy as the Racor 1000 FG fuel filters/water separators as well as the Cat engine oil filters are inboard along the center line.
  3. Unique, innovative ideas such as the satellite helm station, bring more value and a better experience to yacht ownership. While design and technology remain paramount, Michael Joyce understands something more important... the friendships built around his boats. And with this, Hargrave's extended family continues to grow.

  4. Deck Plans; Top to bottom...

    1. Profile
    2. Flybridge
    3. Main Deck
    4. Lower Deck
  5. EXTERIOR DETAILS


    Storage abounds everywhere, inside and out. Shore lines and hoses are tucked away under this forward compartment.
  6. A small storage compartment off the swim platform also provides access to a Glendinning shorepower system...
  7. On the main aft deck, the gangway ramp has its own compartment nestled into the superstructure. Wide side decks with 1-½ inch handrails made of 316 stainless steel alloy and two boarding gates per side make transiting the yacht easy, especially when handling lines. The full exterior walk around helps maintain privacy for owners as crew can get around outside. Decking options can be either non-skid or teak, you decide.
  8. A stainless and teak ladder leads from the aft deck to the fybridge. Notice the lights under each step that illuminate each step below.
  9. Aft deck lighting, docking lights and a video camera are integrated into the aft deck overhang.
  10. The stanchions on the flybridge deck that carry the hardtop are contoured to the shape of the hardtop for better support. It may have been easier to cut a notch in the fiberglass top, but that may have weakened the structure.
  11. INTERIOR DETAILS


    The ingenious pantry in the galley includes four rolling drawers that lock in place, thanks to wooden tracks and beefy latches. Drawers can be rolled out completely, or partially, depending on the location of the soup in need.
  12. Ample under counter storage keeps the big items, while recessed overhead cabinets are designed to maintain a clean flow. Glass and stemware is kept in place in its own locker, with a clear door.
  13. With strategically placed remote control outlets, an operator can plug in the Glendinning Remote Control unit and be on either deck, almost anywhere on the yacht, and be in command with fingertip controls. Just remember if you are facing aft, controls are backwards and flipped.
  14. Everything is labeled in the engine room. Here, the fuel manifold shows where each line goes.
  15. Electronic systems, including a computer server, wiring runs and control boxes are mounted in the space behind the pantry drawers, which is under the lower helm station. There’s plenty of room to work in there and gives a handy place to mount critical electronic components.
  16. And that's a wrap on the "Big H". Thanks for coming aboard... :)
