Layout Southern Belle is a 1995 Fountain Pajot, Venezia-42 catamaran
sailboat. There are 4 double private cabins with closets, 2 in each hull, each
equipped with a fan and ventilation hatches. There are also 2 forward “crew”
cabins that currently serve as storage. Each hull has a head equipped with a
toilet and hot/cold shower. There is also a shower on the aft steps. In the
center bridge-deck is a spacious saloon/galley that can seat 8 adults at the
table. The cockpit can easily seat 12 and also has a dining table. Weather
protection for the cockpit is provided by a fixed bimini/dodger with removable
plastic windows and screens. Ample space for lounging and sunning is available
on the forward nets.
Water We have hot/cold running water with 150 gallon water tank capacity and
a 30-gallon hot water heater. We make our water with an Aqua Marine engine-
driven desalination plant capable of making 24 gallons per hour.
Galley The galley is equipped with a 3-burner propane stove with oven, a
double sink with hot/cold fresh water and salt water; a large refrigerator/ freezer;
and our latest addition...a portable ice-maker. On the aft rail is a Magma
propane gas grill.
Power 12V and 110V power is supported by eight 12V batteries – two for
engine starting, six for the house bank. Power is supplied to the batteries by
two 110-watt solar panels, an Air-X Marine wind generator, a 2 KW generator;
and/or the diesel engines, as needed. The 110v capability is provided by a
2000 watt inverter/charger.
Navigation/Propulsion Southern Belle is a sloop-rigged catamaran with a
130 genoa equipped with Profurl roller furling, a mainsail with 3 reefs, and a
spinnaker. Auxillary propulsion is provided by two 27 HP Yanmar diesel engines
capable of moving the boat at about 7.5 knots. The fuel capacity is 100 gallons.
An Autohelm ST6000 autopilot assists with driving duties. Navigation support is
provided by a Garmin 2010C GPS Chartplotter and Furuno 24-mile Radar
along with the usual boat speed/windspeed/compass instruments.
Communication We have a marine single side band radio (ICOM M710) for
long-range communications equipped with a Pactor modem for
receiving/sending e-mail and weather information and a VHF radio for short
range boat-to-boat communications. We also have an EPIRB (emergency
position indicating radio beacon) should the unthinkable occur and we need to
call for emergency assistance.
Entertainment Flat screen TV with DVD/playstation, huge DVD and video
game library, stereo, guitars, other assorted musical instruments, a roomful of
toys and games, kayaks, snorkel equipment, surfboard, and the world fulfill our
entertainment needs. In addition, to move about anchorages we have a 10-ft
inflatable dinghy equipped with a 15hp 4-stroke outboard.
