Garuda is a 1980 Pearson 365 Ketch, a 36-foot fiberglass sailing yacht built for extended cruising and offshore work. She carries a full sail plan including mainsail and mizzen with custom stack packs, a 140% genoa, spinnaker, and a new 110% genoa, paired with robust ground tackle: a Rocna 20 primary anchor, secondary plow anchor, Fortress storm anchor, and Maxwell electric windlass. Her Beta Marine 38-horsepower diesel engine provides efficient auxiliary power, with cruising speeds around 6 knots and a maximum speed of 7.5 knots.
The electrical infrastructure centers on a substantial off-grid system: 400 amp-hours of Battle Born lithium batteries, 780 watts of solar panels, Victron power management, and high-output charging capability. This setup supports extended periods away from shore power and reduces dependence on generator operation. A BRNKL remote monitoring system tracks battery voltages, bilge activity, temperature, humidity, and impact detection, accessible via smartphone app with instant alerts and geofencing capability.
Navigation and safety are well-addressed with a Raymarine Axiom 9 chartplotter, radar, wireless wind instruments, autopilot, AIS, dual VHF radios, and external Garmin GPS. The yacht offers two cabins and one head for cruising accommodation. The Beta Marine engine was installed as part of a comprehensive repower and upgrade program, with modern charging systems and well-maintained running gear throughout.
