Hva denne videoen dekker
A 1982 Pearson 40 named SV Marbella, hull 67 of 71 built, is for sale through owner Dimitrios, who has sailed her out of Mazatlan, Mexico for roughly three and a half years.1:55 The boat is a Bill Shaw racer-cruiser design displacing around 28,000–29,000 pounds loaded, with a swing keel that drops to 9.4 feet draft for upwind performance and retracts to just over four feet for shoal-water access in the Sea of Cortez, the Bahamas, and Florida.3:03 The flush deck maximizes interior volume and leaves clear foredeck space for a Highfield dinghy stowed on davits for coastal cruising or moved to the bow for offshore passages.7:20 Sail inventory includes a three-year-old main with three reef points, a 130% Genoa on a furler, and a mast-mounted whisker pole for wing-on-wing sailing.4:50 A hydraulic boom vang and hydraulic backstay allow sail-shape adjustment from the cockpit.5:58 Navigation instruments include a Raymarine radar with chartplotter, an older Garmin GPS, and Navionics on an iPad at the helm fed AIS via a Wi-Fi router.21:32 Fuel capacity is 50 gallons, water 100 gallons; fuel burn runs 0.6–0.7 gallons per hour.10:20 The engine sits reversed in the bilge, making impeller access awkward through the cockpit locker.28:40 The head faces fore-and-aft, which Dimitrios flags as a deliberate comfort advantage in a seaway.24:20
