This classic yacht, designed and built under the direction of the legendary Robert (Bob) Beebe, underwent a two year, complete overhaul, restoration and upgrade, finishing in 2023.
The hull, of Burmese teak, was found to be in good condition, requiring only stripping of old paint and recaulking.
The deck of mahogany plywood, had some areas of water intrusion where deck hardware was installed. Those areas were removed, repaired and then covered (the entire deck) with bi-axial fiberglass, epoxy and painted.
A new SS bowsprit was fabricated and installed along with all new SS stanchions.
A new teak swim platform and SS dingy davits were installed as well.
The rub rail and cap rail were replaced with new teak.
The Ford Lehman engine, one of the most reliable diesel engines of all time, was removed from the boat and completely overhauled by the owner, a Mercedes trained diesel mechanic and has just 300 hours since the rebuild.
The boat was rewired, 9 New batteries were added along with
4 solar panels and controller.
The plumbing system was renewed, including servicing all bronze seacocks, all new freshwater pumps and piping, including toilets, faucets and macerator pumps. A new hot water heater and a watermaker were installed.
The galley was completely redesigned and updated with new countertops. The cupboards and table tops were revarnished, walls painted and all new custom cushions and upholstery installed.
The refrigeration system was replaced with modern, 12V systems, and a newly restored, 3 burner, propane stove with oven installed.
Both the forward and aft cabin have been entirely renovated and painted. The forward cabin features a double bed, the aft cabin also has a double bed plus a newly installed desk and dedicated work space. New mattresses in both.
The sole throughout has been refinished, including the wheelhouse floor where the carpet was removed and replaced with beautiful teak stripping.
In short, Passagemaker is a classic boat, updated to modern standards, capable of giving the new owner years of safe, comfortable, happy sailing!
