She is a very traditional
looking yacht with a plumb bow and a fantail stern
forming the ends of an easily driven hull. Her forward
pilothouse meshes nicely with a large beamy main salon
aft of the helm/galley area. Comfort underway is of main
importance here with 6'4" head room in the main salon.
Four large opening windows in the salon area are set to
perfect viewing height while seated in the salon. There
is also a large 24" x 36" hatch/skylight on the salon
cabin top which hinges upward for ventilation.
The head is on the starboard
side, at the aft end of the main salon. With the water
closet and a remarkable Pullman-style sink/wash basin
that folds onto the bulkhead, this head compartment can
convert into a shower stall for longer cruises.
A solid-fuel heater is mounted
on the forward bulkhead of the head. In winter, the boat
is warm and dry without the sweating and mildew problems
normally associated with most boats in today's market.
In the summer, the feeling in the main salon is like
sitting in a large screened porch. Both settees are 68"
long and double as berths. There is a folding leaf table
which can accommodate anything from casual drinks to
formal dining for four.
Forward of the main salon is
the raised pilothouse with port and starboard helm seats
and galley space aft on both sides. Refrigeration tucks
neatly below the companion helm seat and there is
stowage on both sides under the counters. A propane
stove allows the cook to enjoy the ride in the
pilothouse with excellent visibility and full 72"
headroom. Forward in the fo'c'sle, accessible through a
hinged hatch, is a large berth and storage area. This
can be a private suite or out-of-the-way storage.
The twin 18 hp YANMAR diesels
will cruise Czarinna at 7 knots at 1900 RPM. The noise,
vibration and smell normally associated with high speed
boats just doesn't develop on Czarinna. Each engine is
tucked out of the way, under the settees, port and
starboard, in a sound insulated seat compartment. Fuel
consumption is very economical, two-thirds of a gallon
of diesel per hour, at her cruising speed of 7 knots.
It's hard to imagine cruising more economically than
this these days.
