| The triple fiberglass and double end grain balsa core hull is 2.5-3.0 inch thick to a depth of 9 inch below the waterline, then transitioning to solid glass approximately 1 1/8 inch thick. Decks are 3/4 inch plywood double treated then 5/32 inch fiberglass layup and covered with 3/4 inch teak planking. The original teak decks were replaced in 2002.
Beam shelf carlines and deck beams all select New Zealand heart Kauri. All fastenings are bronze or stainless steel. The steel fabricated keels each weigh 5.5 tons with approximately 4.5 tons of lead. Each has capacity to hold approximately 170 gallons of fuel. Twin steel rudders and stainless steel shafts with protecting skegs. Cabin sides are thicknesses of 7/8 inch spinal solid core Rosorcinal glued plywood and 1/4 inch teak ply inside and glassed outside up to a ? inch thick on the turns. All tanks, water and fuel, are vented above deck level. The ship has a high capacity engine driven emergency bilge pump with five permanently plumed pickup positions selectable by manifold valves in the engine room. Virtually the entire bottom of the boat is tankage forming a "double hull". In addition to the engine-driven bilge pump, there are two electric bilge pumps forward and two electric bilge pumps in the engine room with automatic float switches and high water alarms in each area. The alarms and bilge pump controls are wired to the pilothouse. The twin keel design produces an extremely stiff boat. SHIBUMI rarely heals more than 12 degrees regardless of the wind velocity or sail set. The twin rudders and the propeller are also protected by a skeg. There are two steering stations, one in the pilothouse, the other on deck aft. The steering gear was completely rebuilt in 2012 including rudder bearings and tubes. The entrance doors to forward and aft accommodations from the pilothouse are 1/4 inch aluminum plate and can be partially or totally closed. Lockable stainless steel grates provide an alternative secure ventilated closure for long term storage or insecure anchorages. |

| The Gardner 8LXB engine (s/n 180147) is a very reliable, low RPM, long-lived engine. The manufacturer recommended oil changes every 600 hours and overhauls every 20,000 hours. The maximum RPM is 1,300, but cruising RPM is 800. At 5,000 hours in 1987, the heads were removed to clean carbon and grind valves. At the same time, the heat exchanger, oil coolers, and bronze and carbon steel salt water pump were rebuilt per the manufacturer's specifications. In 2003, the heads and exchangers and raw water pump were rebuilt again. In 2011, the fuel injection pumps, governing systems and injectors were rebuilt. There is a spare Gardner starter and eight spare injectors, complete instructions, and special engine tools. Other features include Morse controls for both steering stations. It has a built in oil and fluid change pump system.

| Three voltages are available: 110 VAC, 24 VDC, and 12 VDC. A 240/110 VAC isolation transformer allows different shore side power hookups. All AC motors (refrigeration and air conditioning) can run on 50 or 60 cycle power. Both generators feed 240 VAC power to the AC electrical distribution panel. Both the 24 VDC, 12 VDC and the 110 VAC distribution panels contain circuit breakers on all circuits, voltmeters, and ammeters with selector switches for various power combinations. There is a secondary 24 VDC circuit breaker panel in the pilothouse for navigational systems. A Newmar 24 VDC/12 VDC 35 amp converter supplies 12 VDC power for the SSB radio and other electronics. Aft Lazarette wired for dive compressor.
Shore power of 50 amp 240 VAC is supplied using a standard power cord. A 240/110 VAC Charles 12KVA International Universal ISO-transformer allowing use in Southern Pacific, Southeast Asia and Europe. There is a Guess Galvanic isolator. Batteries: There are four deep cycle batteries for the ship's power and four to start the main engine. The batteries can be paralleled for greater engine starting power or a larger amperage reservoir for the ships needs. Batteries are charged by the engine?s alternator for engine and ship?s battery banks, or by a Freedom 25 Charger/Inverter that will also charge both banks. Wind Generators: - Air-X Marine 24VDC wind generator - KISS High Output 24VDC wind generator |
|||
