Sailing Charter Sailboat Description

Seascape is a 41' Morgan "Out Island" ketch

Practically everything on SeaScape has been up graded, redone and  refinished  ( and of course, this is an ongoing process). . The cushions have been redone. All of the interior teak has been varnished with up to 14 coats!  The cabin sole was extended to teak and holly through out.  The galley and table have been completely redone. A swim step has been added at the stern with a fold-up swimming ladder.

The engine is a 62hp Perkins. The diesel tank is 128 gallons, enough for 80 hours of running time with 25 gallons in reserve. Seascape burns about 1 1/4 gallons per hour. There are two water tanks, one of 128 gallons on the port side and another of 45 gallons besides the engine in the engine room(in addition we place aboard 18 to 30 gallons of purified drinking water). The galley also has a saltwater pump to rinse dishes. The battery banks have been increased to two and one half times their original size. There is a total of over 1000 amp hours of house batteries.  There are two alternators, one each for the engine and house banks. The banks can be combined, and one alternator can charge both in an emergency, and both banks can be used to start the engine.
 
The jib is 135% with Profurl roller furling. The sails are in excellent shape with the jib new in 2004, the mizzen in 2006 and the main in 2007. . In 2008, we installed a lazy- jack  system with its built-in sail cover for the main. The electric windlass is a Muir purchased in 2008. The anchor is a 45# CQR with 200' of chain.  The back up anchor is a 60# Northill type anchor with chain and rope.

There are two heads with showers. Both heads are electric. There is a swim shower at the stern above the swim step and ladder. The refrigerator is front-loading and in addition there is a large icebox that we fill with block ice before your departure (we also fill an ice chest). The stove is propane with an oven and broiler. There is a microwave oven.  There is a Xantrex 2000 inverter/charger to power the microwave oven and other 110 AC needs while underway and charge the batteries up at anchor. On the stern is a large Force 10 barbecue with its own propane tank

Seascape sleeps seven in three separate cabins. The table in the main cabin makes up into a very comfortable double bed. The seat opposite the table makes up into a single berth. The aft cabin's bed is larger than queen size, with its own separate head and shower. The forward cabin has two berths, over and under. The forward head has two doors, so that each of the forward cabins can be blocked off  ( please go to the layout and picture page).. Some people choose to sleep up on deck. We also have a hammock that hangs between the jib and the main mast. When there is a skippered charter, the skipper sleeps in the cockpit. I have slept up there many times even when not out on a skippered charter.

Seascape is well equipped for either warm weather or windy conditions. There are fans above each of the five bunks. There are a total of 17 ports and 6 hatches. The whole interior has a fiberglass headliner with 1" to 2" of dead airspace between the headliner and the deck. There is not a cooler sailboat in the Sea of Cortez during the warmer times. The bimini has sunshades for warmer days and a plastic window with side curtains that changes it into a dodger for windier weather.   There are custom made cockpit cushions.
There is an am/fm radio with a CD player. There are also two speakers in the cockpit. Besides the VHF radio, there is a cellular phone with the antenna atop the mizzen mast. Many charters call home!  Shortly we will have a satellite radio.

Seascape is equipped for fishing with four rods and reels. Two rod holders are installed in the stern. You can fish from Seascape, the Boston Whaler, the  kayaks or from shore! And cook your fish on the barbecue grill.

The 13' Boston Whaler comes with a 20hp, 2006 Honda and is available as an extra, as are two person kayaks and a 14’ Lazer.sailboat.

SEASCAPE IS THE MOST CHARTERED SAILBOAT IN THE SEA OF CORTEZ
