1991 Lien Hwa Cockpit Sundeck

This 1991 Lien Hwa Cockpit Sundeck represents the build quality and long-range cruising capability that defined Taiwanese yacht craftsmanship of that era. Twin Lehman Sabre diesel engines rated at 275 HP each deliver economical cruising at 12 knots with excellent fuel efficiency of approximately 4.5 gallons per hour at 9–10 knots, while a maximum speed of 18 knots is available when needed. The 51-foot hull carries 640 gallons of fuel and 300 gallons of fresh water, supporting extended passages. Direct-drive propulsion with oversized rudders, deflector struts, and fixed stabilizers provide confident handling in varied conditions.

Below deck, two cabins and two heads offer comfortable accommodations. The galley includes a Seward electric ceramic-top range with oven, full-size Panasonic microwave, custom Sea Freeze refrigerator with remote compressor, deep freezer, and a newly installed single-lever faucet. Throughout the interior, hand-crafted teak joinery in the salon and staterooms provides the warmth and finish quality characteristic of Lien Hwa's partnership with brands like McKinna Yachts and Marine Trader. Air conditioning, diesel heating, a generator, inverter, washing machine, and electric heads support comfortable cruising or liveaboard use.

The expansive sundeck features a hard top for all-weather entertaining, complete with a Thomas Baker 40-inch folding teak table, matching teak chairs, and a Dickerson propane grill. Navigation systems include a Furuno FMD 1832 4K radar, Icom IC-M59 VHF, back-up camera, and rudder position indicator. An 8-foot Bullfrog dinghy with 9.9 Nissan outboard and Nick Jackson davit handle tender operations. Ground tackle consists of 300 feet of chain plus 150 feet of braided rode, an oversized Bruce anchor, secondary plow anchor, Maxwell 3500 windlass, and a Fortress folding grapnel.
