2004 Custom Simon Rogers One Design

This is a 2004 custom sailing yacht built to the Simon Rogers One Design, a steel-hulled cutter-rigged yacht designed for extended ocean research and expedition work. At nearly 71 feet in length with an 18-foot beam, she was purpose-built for worldwide deployment and carries MCA Category 0 certification, maintained in class.

The yacht accommodates four cabins and two heads, providing comfortable quarters for a working crew or extended voyages. Her single Yanmar diesel engine produces 370 horsepower, providing reliable auxiliary power for independent operation. The design emphasizes a quiet operating platform, an essential feature for research applications requiring minimal acoustic disturbance.

The steel construction ensures structural durability for remote operations and challenging ocean conditions. Her layout and systems reflect her operational heritage, with accommodation and machinery configured to support long-term missions away from port infrastructure.
