1997 Forbes Cooper Pilothouse

This 1997 Forbes Cooper Pilothouse is a 78-foot fiberglass cruising yacht built for serious extended-range operation. Powered by twin MAN diesel engines producing 2,100 horsepower combined, she delivers efficient cruising performance with good fuel economy at displacement speeds. The design emphasizes owner-operator capability with excellent visibility from the pilothouse and straightforward systems that don't demand a large crew.

Accommodations span five cabins with a full-beam owner's suite, VIP cabin, and two guest cabins, along with six heads distributed throughout. The main saloon is generously proportioned, and the galley is well-equipped for extended cruising. Climate control includes reverse-cycle air conditioning and diesel heating to maintain comfort in varying conditions. Large fuel and water tankage support multi-day passages without requiring frequent refueling.

The yacht was built in British Columbia with robust fiberglass construction and quality materials throughout, reflecting a proven design known for seaworthiness and durability. The layout prioritizes livability with a home-like environment despite the 78-foot size, making her equally suited to cruising or living aboard. Systems are arranged for practical owner operation and long-range capability.
