M/V Kingdom

Salon: Brazilian Walnut floors enhance the original teak joinery, and create a casual yet elegant interior in the Salon, Galley and Day Head.  Walls are covered in neutral faux grass cloth, with ultra suede valances.  Window treatments are Hunter-Douglas wood blinds in complimentary rich finish.  Handsomely furnished with leather sofa, chair, ottoman, table lamps and Oriental area rug create a truly residential appeal. 2 stone top end tables incorporate wine storage, and Oriental Barrel table serves as liquor storage.  In-salon dining is accommodated with a movable tri-fold table which is secured to the aft interior bulkhead. Entertainment center includes Sylvania Flat screen TV, Bose surround sound speakers, Sony Audio Video Control Center and Magnavox DVD and CD player.

Galley: DuPont Stone countertops and backsplash sparkle in dramatic halogen track lighting, and gleaming stainless appliances make this a stunning area for entertaining and preparing gourmet meals. Stainless GE Profile refrigerator has upper side by side French doors with filtered chilled water, and lower freezer drawer with ice maker.  Stainless steel deep sink with side prep sink and upscale chrome handle faucet is located on the port side, with large opening window for fantastic ventilation.   Propane cook top and oven with black glass front, and built in stainless GE Profile microwave allow the chef to prepare any gastronomic delight easily.  Storage is abundant, including many drawers, cabinets, and pantry.  Broan under-counter trash compactor with stainless front is a wonderful appliance on long voyages.

Day Head: Most convenient!  Thanks Jack Hargrave for thinking this through! Featuring Electric saltwater’ flush head, white Corian vanity and sink, Grohe faucet, full sized mirror with halogen lighting, wood blinds, Brazilian hardwood floors, and salon matching wall coverings and valances.

Pilot House: Separated from the galley and salon by a teak door and equipped with night vision lighting this ships control center has comfort and safety features to brag about.  Fully air conditioned, recently refinished teak and varnish throughout and state of the art electronic equipment is impressive. The butter soft leatherette bunk expands from seating to berth, with plenty of locker, drawer, and chart storage beneath.  Both pilot house wing doors open to the deck companionway, including the Portuguese bridge, which has port and starboard engine controls and additional storage locker.  The Captain’s console houses the engine controls, engine gauges, chart plotters, SSB, VHF, computers, closed circuit camera screen, auto pilot, stabilizer controls, and a magnificent traditional ships wheel.  A teak ladder located on the starboard side of the pilothouse leads up to the Fly bridge deck.

Fly Bridge: A large, black canvas bimini top forward of the radar arch provides a shady spot for piloting from Captain’s and First Mate’s chairs, where controls and gauges for the engines, chart plotter, auto pilot, radar display, VHF radio, and CD player are visible and in easy reach.  A custom U-shaped lounge seating area with under-seat storage is perfect for relaxing underway.

Fly Bridge continued:

A Scottsman beverage refrigerator, U-Line icemaker and wet bar make entertaining top side easy.  The Zodiac RIB is easily lifted from the water onto the chalks with a powerful davit located port side, allowing lots of additional deck space for storing toys, and stretching out on chaise lounges.  Abundant storage as well as the galley’s propane tanks is accessible from the fly bridge locker.

Mid Ship Stateroom: Configured with full size twin berths, with ultra suede headboards, separated by a dresser topped with table lamp, and Sharper Image AM/FM CD Player. There is additional drawer storage under the berths, and hanging locker.  Air conditioning and 2 opening ports allow for fresh air or comfortable cooling.  The en-suite bath includes separate glass door stall shower, also with opening port, electric salt flush toilet and white Corian vanity, Grohe faucet, and designer halogen lighting. Stateroom flooring is textured Berber carpet and bathroom is Brazilian walnut. Custom spreads, bed and bath linens are included.

Forward Stateroom: Berths may be configured as custom over sized king, or two separate twin berths with upholstered bulkheads both port and starboard.  Large hanging locker, and under berth drawers as well as stowaway storage is plentiful.  Air conditioning, operable ports on both sides and large hatch to the bow ensure comfortable temperatures.  En-suite bath includes separate glass door stall shower with opening port, electric salt water toilet, Corian vanity, Grohe faucet and halogen lighting.  Stateroom flooring is textured Berber carpet and bathroom is Brazilian walnut. Custom spreads and bed linens for both mattress configurations and bath linens are included.

Companionway: This space can be used many ways.  It houses a full length of storage lockers under a twin sized counter which was originally designated as a crew berth.  It makes a perfect workshop, or provision storage area before long voyages. 2 hanging lockers are located under the spiral staircase, one with selves for a pantry.  Teak shelving above the berth and an operable port are located on the starboard side.  Aft of the berth is a freezer located in the space originally used for the washer and dryer.  Bulkheads are teak, and companionway floors are Brazilian walnut, with an Oriental hall runner leading to the Engine Room.

Engine Room: Two Detroit Diesel 471 Naturals continue to be the economical, reliable work horses they are famous for.  Easy access to everything in the stand up, walk around full width engine room makes service to the ships systems the envy of every boater in this class, as well as professional engineers.  A Reverso Automatic Oil changer (installed December 2007) makes changing oil in generators and main engines a breeze.  The engine room blowers quickly cool the room after cruising, and the ceiling mounted fan circulates the air while doing maintenance chores.

Aft Deck: Full width aft deck is furnished with 7’ teak sofa with Sunbrella cushions, dining table, 6 matching chairs, and end tables. White non skid deck surface was redone in ’09.   Glass wing doors access the walk around decks, and drop down screens provide

protection from the sun and occasional rain shower.  The combination Haier Washer/Dryer is housed on deck inside a teak console.  Fishing rod and 2 SCUBA tanks are included.

Master Stateroom: The full-width light and airy Owners suite has neutral faux grass cloth wall covering, textured Berber carpet, and white enamel finishes.  Centerline Queen Bed with under mattress drawers is easily accessible from either side. Two opening hatches are located at the head of the bed, with Hunter-Douglas wood blinds.   Starboard side of the cabin includes a walk in hanging locker, built in upholstered seating, and bedside nightstand and lamp. Both sides of the bed have adjustable arm reading halogens.  Port side in the cabin houses built in wardrobe cabinets including lockers and drawers.  Atop the built in cabinetry houses the Panasonic TV / VHF player and CD player.  Next to the bed are a writing desk, bedside lamp and chair. The Master bathroom flooring is Brazilian walnut, boasts a full size tub and shower with sliding glass enclosure, white Corian vanity, lavish mirror surrounds, electric salt water flush toilet, and recessed halogen lighting.  2 operable ports are located on either side of the stateroom and one in the tub/shower area.  The stateroom is tastefully appointed, spacious, comfortable, and the storage capacity is amazing!

Cockpit: The benefits of a cockpit are numerous; not the least of which include safe and easy dinghy access, convenient line handling, lazarette storage, swim platform access and fresh water wash down.  However, this also provides a safe and clean environment for the Force 10 Stainless Steel propane BBQ, new in ’09.  In the lazarette storage area, a replacement drive shaft, two spare props, dock water softening system, and cleaning supplies are stowed. The cockpit deck box provides convenient storage for stern and tow lines.  The 7 step Tide Rider boarding ladder stows cleanly against the aft rails.  The swim platform is 2 steps down from the cockpit, where the 4-step dive ladder is easily deployed, and a small retractable ladder is permanently attached.

Bow & Portuguese Bridge and Side Decks: Boarding the vessel from the dock via the 7 step Tide Rider boarding ladder to the mid ships is the most impressive introduction. (The Tide Rider may also be used as stern passarelle gangway).  The teak rails surrounding the boat, gleaming stainless stanchions, and shiny white superstructure never fail to impress visitors.  At night, the decks are lighted with side lights, and the classic lines of the boat are truly ship like, never failing to turn heads in any port.  The waist high enclosed side decks, including in front of the pilot house (the Portuguese Bridge), are a significant safety feature in rough seas.  From bow to stern, the full walk around deck allows a crew of 2 to effortlessly handle docking procedures. The foredeck has 2 secured deck boxes for additional ground tackle, spare anchor, gear and lines.  The bow pulpit boasts a powerful 32 volt windlass for deploying and retrieval of the 55 lb. Delta anchor and 250 feet of 3/8 inch anchor chain plus 250 of rode.  Secured to the bow starboard rail is a side mount Marquipt sea boarding ladder. Both fresh and salt water hose bibs are available.
