New Air Conditioner Chillers for chilled water system

Beach to Beach could easily pass for a vessel that is much newer than her hull number indicates.  Every aspect of this yacht shows well from the new fabrics in the salon to the tidy engine room.  This boat is ready to cruise.

Low profile, seaworthy appearance, high bow, flawless exterior craftsmanship, superb joinery and proper equipment selection are always the initial feelings as you board any Marlow Yacht.  Passageways are wide and bulwarks high and safe.  Beach to Beach provides all that, as well as a very functional layout and warm, spacious interior.

This yacht feels much larger than similar length vessels due to her open floor plan.  When you walk in the salon you can see right through the dinning room and galley to the forward windows.

One enters the Salon aft from the Aft Deck and immediately observes a complete sight line to the forward windshield, as well as the large windows along each salon side.   You immediately see a properly shaped Salon and a very nice Dining Room forward of the Salon.  There are no long and skinny or short, stocky rooms here, just a feeling of comfortable proportions.  To starboard is a large settee just redone in high end off white upholstery fabric.  The cushions lift up on gas shocks providing lots of storage.   The end tables provide additional storage and house the very quiet air handlers which supply the longitudinal air distribution system in the louvered valence.  No hot spots or cold spots, just comfortable, quiet air distribution.

To port is the Pop-up television and room to place two luxurious chairs.  Forward to port is the wet-bar with Sub-Zero dual temperature wine cooler, extra bottle storage, stainless steel sink, and refrigerator with ice maker.  The sink and ice maker are supplied with specially filtered water from the drinking water tank.  All light fixtures, and cabinet handles and hardware are gold-plated for beauty and added protection from moisture.

MASTER STATEROOM: 

The full beam master stateroom takes great advantage of the warm and open feeling.  The king size bed is on centerline with abundant drawer storage and hanging lockers to port and starboard.  Also to port is a vanity.  Additional storage is located in drawers beneath the bed.  Shoji screens to port and starboard permit light to enter the stateroom while providing privacy in marinas.  The substantial stainless steel ports on both sides permit cross-ventilation when open and maintain watertight integrity at sea.  Aft on both sides are light and airy his and hers heads with a common shower.  Granite counter tops, Grohe fixtures, Vacuflush toilets are but a few of the luxuries in the heads. A full-size Bosch washer and dryer are locate in the forward locker in the Master Stateroom.

VIP GUEST STATEROOM: 

The VIP Stateroom will make your family and guests feel extremely welcome.  Developed for the owner’s family, this stateroom includes a king-size bed, two large hanging lockers, six large drawers and additional lockers.  It is light and airy, due to the opening deck hatches with Oceanaire screen and blackout shades.  The en suite oversize head is also light and airy, with granite counter, large Lexan shower stall with curved, teak trimmed Lexan shower door, opening port, Vacuflush toilet, Grohe fixtures and large mirror.  A separate door to the companionway allows this head to be used as a day head or to be shared with the adjacent starboard guest stateroom.

PORT GUEST STATEROOM:

This stateroom provides two single berths and an additional Pullman upper berth, hanging locker and drawer storage.  The en suite guest head has an opening port,  large Lexan shower, granite counter, and Grohe fixtures.

STARBOARD GUEST STATEROOM:

This stateroom is intended for additional overflow sleeping with upper and lower berths, large mirror, opening ports, and curtain enclosure.  When not in use, the curtain is left open, providing a more spacious feeling.

CREW QUARTERS:

The crew quarters are configured with three single berths, head with shower, hanging lockers, drawers and bins, a desk, refrigerator, microwave, TV and FM and CD radio, and a combination washer/dryer .  Noting that “a happy crew is a happy ship”, the owner has ensured that all furnishings are the same quality as provided in the guest quarters in Beach to Beach.

The Command Bridge is conveniently located ten steps up from the galley.  This enclosed bridge is finished in satin teak with teak and holly decks, Stidd pilot and copilot helm chairs, port and starboard L-settees (raised for full visibility)with elegant teak tables, and a refrigerator with icemaker provide the creature comforts to this fully air conditioned and heated space.  Port and starboard watertight sliding doors allow immediate access to the side decks.  The hinged aft watertight door permits access to the Boat Deck.  Large double layer tempered glass windows (laminated with hurricane film intermediate strengthening to maintain watertight integrity), provide 360 degree visibility.  Oceanaire hatches with screens and blackout covers allow ventilation.  The Marlow proprietary safety and control panel is located above the windshield.  A large L-shaped teak console with 3 monitors and dashboard displays navigation and engine condition information. Windshield wipers and washers afford excellent visibility in the worst conditions.  The spotlight remote controls and Kahlenberg trumpet horn controls are located at the helm.

The Engine Room has standing headroom and has been designed to allow very good access to all equipment.  Placing fuel tanks forward of the Engine Room allows the full beam to be used for equipment placement.  Attention to detail enables key maintenance access, which leads to proper adherence to maintenance cycles, which yields maximum operational time (rather than being stuck in port for repairs to equipment which had been ignored).  The twin cross-connected sea chests forward provide all the sea water to the Engine Room, a safety factor over boats built with ubiquitous inlets wherever it suits the builder.  Commercial and military vessels use sea chests.  Two 25 kW Northern Lights generators in custom sound boxes with clear Lexan windows provide redundant electrical power at sea (each generator will independently carry the entire vessel electrical load).  The dual, redundant and supplementary, chilled water compressors and the start/finish  of the circulating cold/hot water closed loop are here.  The redundant Naiad stabilizer hydraulics as well as redundant hydraulics for steering are located here.  You won’t lose steering or stabilizers if you shut down one engine.  On the forward bulkhead is the simplest fuel management system.  Due to tank location (at the vessel center of gravity), no fuel is necessary for trim or ballast, allowing all supply and return valves to remain open unless equipment isolation is desired.  Aft are the Centaflex couplings which allow vibration isolation of the engines and the exhaust systems, something done by no other yacht builder, and contributing to the Marlow Yacht reputation for “smooth ride.”  Exceptional sound isolation of this compartment and the additional sound isolation provided by two bulkheads and 3500 gallons of fuel tankage enable normal conversations to take place in the Salon and the Master Stateroom while operating at the 27-knot full speed.  Stainless steel engine beds support the engines, absorb the forward thrust from the large thrust bearings of the Centaflex couplings, and transmit it smoothly to the hull.  A Sea Recovery watermaker system has been provided.

A separate pump room is located in below the forward berthing compartments.  This space contains the fresh water and drinking water filters (to remove particulates, taste and odors) and pumps, redundant water pump and water distribution manifold.  The water maker output connects to the separate drinking water and fresh water systems here.

Beach to Beach is built using the most modern materials, taking advantage of light weight and extremely strong characteristics to provide  fuel saving at any speed, Kevlar in the outer laminate provides resistance to punctures, tremendous strength at sea in bad weather, and the friendly open feeling of a hull without many unnecessary view-interfering bulkheads.  The drystack Resin Infusion Vacuum Assisted Transfer (RIVAT) technique saves weight and enhances strength.  The Corecell core is engineered for strength, laminating ease and resistance to any water intrusion.  

Three major, complex molds are used to build the vessel, minimizing the number of seems and maximizing strength.   The primary structure consists of inner and outer laminates  highly engineered E-Glass and Kevlar in combination with SAN Corecell foam sandwich, laid up with modified epoxy resins.  

The under body is unique, with twin Velocijet strut keels and mild propeller tunnels.  The tunnels permit the propellers to be raised and the thrust along the shafts to be more in line with the forward direction of the vessel.  The tunnels improve water flow into the propellers, enhancing thrust.  The Velocijet strut keels house and completely protect the shafts and extend below and protect the propellers.  They are strong enough to support the boat when out of the water in a boatyard, or during an unfortunate grounding. The Kevlar skin protects against impact with logs, deadheads and minor and major debris.

The hull is finished with Oyster White Awlgrip Paint.  All false planking lines are crisp and the hull shines.  The deck drains and scuppers lead to the continuous drainage system, which runs from bow to stern and prevents water from running down the side of the boat.  No black streaks on this girl.

The decks are finished with custom non-skid contrasting surfaces and large waterways carry away any water.  Teak decks are provided under the covered aft deck and side decks and also on the centerline of the foredeck where secure footing is so useful in moving to and away from the windlass and anchor gear.  The Maxwell anchor windlass is controllable at the bow and at the helm station.  A stainless steel plow and Bruce type anchor are provided.  All chain is provided on the primary plow anchor and chain and rode on the secondary anchor.  Low profile, heavy duty hatches are provided on the foredeck, above the Office and over the Pilothouse.  Custom curved large oval shaped stainless steel handrails provide safety and security and the quality of the welds displays the artistry from the stainless steel shop at NORSEMEN Shipyard, the captive Marlow building yard.  Moving aft, one walks through the centerline gate in the Portuguese bridge, so substantial that it had to be made in two pieces to permit easy handling.  There is substantial storage volume for fenders, lines and deck gear in the Portuguese bridge.  At the front of the cabin on each side are tank fills for Drinking Water and Fresh Water.  Continuing aft on either side deck, open the hatch in the cabin side and see the tank fill, off the deck so no contaminants can enter.  You can fill the tank from either side without needing to drag the fuel hose across the deck.  Notice the drip pocket to catch those last few drops that want to fall on your clean deck.
