Fitted with a replacement Volvo Penta MD2030-B, rated at approx. 29HP. Fitted in Feb 1996, together with a high rise exhaust elbow and a Vetus waterlock. 

Subsequently, the propeller shaft has been replaced (2018) and a rope cutter by Ambassador Marine fitted, while the currently fitted engine mounts date from 2020. 

 

An exhaust temperature sensor with a remote indicator (the latter fitted in the cockpit) are fitted for peace of mind. 

 

The engine drives a fixed, two-bladed propeller through a conventional propeller shaft, with a flexibly mounted conventional packing gland to the sterntube. 

 

This yacht has just been ashore in late January 2023 for cleaning, polishing, fresh antifouling, servicing of the Blakes seacocks and replacement of another. The engine has been fully serviced, a new cutlass bearing fitted and stern seal overhauled, all work done professionally. 

 

Electrical Systems 

The 'Domestic and Services Battery' bank comprises of two lead acid batteries of 110 and 115 A/hr capacity. 

A single 100 A/hr battery is fitted for engine cranking. 

The original rotary selection switch is retained so that either battery bank can be used for either function. 

Battery charging is by the engine-driven alternator (to which a Sterling 4-step charge regulator is fitted to maximise the efficiency of the alternator's output), plus a 215W photo-voltaic [Solar] panel regulated by a Victron regulator, with its output monitored by a display facing the chart table. 

A 220-240V AC battery charger is also fitted to support the batteries while the vessel is connected to a shore support supply. 

12V DC systems are selected and protected by two 8-way high quality circuit breaker panels by 'Blue Sea Systems' to replace the original switch panel supplied by Westerly. 

All navigation lights about the vessel have been fitted with LED lamps, while internally the lights still have filament bulbs. 

5 to 6 berths in two cabins with headroom of some 6' 1" at the base of the companionway steps. 

All berths are 6' 3" long with those in the saloon, straight and parallel to the centreline and provided with lee boards - thereby making excellent sea berths. 

 

Forward Cabin: The forward cabin offers a conventional double 'V'-berth with infill cushion. Stowage beneath the berth and open shelving above on each side. Even with the infill cushion fitted, there remains standing room to change clothing abaft the head of the berth. Hanging locker aft to starboard, in addition to the more communal hanging locker opposite the heads compartment. 

 

Heads: The heads' compartment is forward and to port of the centreline, with the optional additional deck hatch over for greater light and ventilation. A Lavac marine toilet is fitted. Stainless steel handbasin with manually pumped fresh water 

 

Saloon: The saloon settees convert to sleeping berths utilising the space beneath the side locker units to increase width right to the side of the hull and the settee backs can provide leeboards. The port side settee converts to a double berth for harbour use and there is good daytime stowage of pillows/blankets/duvets behind the backrests in addition to the space beneath and lockers with deep fiddled shelves over, above. The centreline double-leafed table is a wonderful feature of the Fulmar's interior; genuinely big enough to accommodate six diners and securely mounted to the hull structure and thereby offer a secure support/handhold to crew in a seaway. The cabin windows are of toughened glass, rather than acrylic; so no crazing present. 

 

A CD/radio by Sony, together with stereo speakers is fitted with the saloon. 

 

Nav Area: The Navigation Station is to port and enjoys a dedicated seat rather than relying upon the head of the quarter-berth. The forward-facing chart table, with chart storage under, will accommodate a folded Admiralty chart and is supported by a 3-drawer plinth. There is also a 5' long locker/book shelf above with sliding perspex doors and bulkhead-mounted navigation instruments. 

 

Aft of the Nav. Station there is a very generous quarter-berth that is 3' 10" wide at its head 

 

Galley: The "L"-shaped galley, to starboard at the base of the companionway, offers a large inset stainless steel sink with foot pumped water supply. There is an electrically refrigerated icebox (with 'keel-cooled compressor) and a gimballed, replacement 'Neptune' gas cooker by Plastimo (approx. 7 years old) featuring a hob with two burners, grill and oven. There is excellent stowage with cut-outs in the aft bulkhead for crockery, a cutlery drawer and a locker under the sink, and an additional shelved locker. 

 

Head-linings are of foam-backed vinyl down to the hull/deck joint, with needlecord nylon to the hull sides below this level, all completely renewed in around 2015. The cushions (Both foam and fabric coverings) were replaced approx. five years ago

The cockpit affords seating in comfort for up to six adults and provides tiller steering, single lever engine controls and instrumentation. There is a deep (climb down into!) locker to starboard with a gas canister locker for two bottles immediately ahead. The cockpit seats and coamings have been laid with synthetic 'teak' sheathing, while the original cockpit gratings by Westerly are serviceable and have been retained. 

 

Sail controls are led aft by way of turning blocks to two banks of rope jammers and clutches to winches mounted on the aft end of the coachroof.
