Also notable but unseen below, in the nether-world of yachting, but absolutely necessary; the fresh water system - a 289-G SS tank, with internal baffles and fittings for vent, fill, supply, etc. PEX tubing and bronze system fittings, plus facilities for engine room deck wash. Also a 20G Torrid water heater.
On the hard, gears are ZF 325A, with stainless 2-3/4” shafts turning Nibral props; dynamically balanced and computer scanned. Bronze shaft struts and PYI shaft seals complete the running gear. On the unseen inside, the western gear maneuvering this cruiser from the east is a Teleflex power steering system w/316 SS rudder blades and rudder stock, plus 2 SS link bars between bronze tillers.
Now, the Sunbird 67 Holland embarks on brand new Chapter/Voyage. Both Brian Holland and Li Yuexian are quite pleased with the outcome, as this new yacht from the land of the Rising Sun completes her next step in a voyage certain to make waves, as well as history. Applause will soon be heard, with pleasure no doubt, from Shanghai to San Francisco... and beyond. Feature by Capt.
