1989 Custom Schooner Liveaboard

A 78-foot steel schooner built in 1989 for extended cruising and liveaboard use. The hull is steel construction, providing durability for ocean passages and long-term anchoring. The boat carries two cabins and one head, arranged for comfortable extended habitation.

Power comes from a Caterpillar diesel engine supported by a comprehensive electrical system. The fuel capacity of 300 gallons delivers an efficient cruising range of approximately 1,000 nautical miles under power. Solar panels and battery banks form the backbone of the electrical infrastructure, with an inverter providing 120-volt power throughout the boat.

The schooner's design prioritizes self-sufficiency for extended voyages and remote anchorages. The combination of fuel capacity, renewable energy generation, and battery storage reflects a boat built for independence from shore-based infrastructure.
