Looking for a Carver yacht for sale? Check out the deal on a 56′ Carver

Pre-owned 56' Carver YachtAs soon as you step aboard the 56′ Carver Yacht “Queen Larina” you can tell that this yacht was lovingly maintained from the start because she is in such good condition. She is a fresh water boat (cruising on Lake of the Ozarks in Michigan) and ready to take her next owner on the water with only 325 hours on her twin Volvo diesel engines. Carver yachts are extremely popular and, although they handle equally as well in salt water, Carver yachts are often found on Lakes providing condos at sea for families around the waterways of the world.

How do yachts convert power as they travel internationally?

International yacht POwerYachts are essentially self-sufficient mansions at sea. With a typical layout with four guest suites and three crew quarters with two galleys and 7 heads, yachts can be considered six bedroom condos at sea. Yet, unlike your beach house, one month your yacht may be in Spain and the next you may be in Florida and how, then, does the yacht handle the conversion in power? Well, yachts can be outfitted with transforming units that enable vessels to plug into 50 hertz or 60 hertz of shore side power. Some examples of companies providing some of the most commonly found units includes A.C. and ATLAS power converters. To give you an example of one of these yachts, check out this video of a 90′ Falcon Yacht that has an A.C. frequency converter that enables her for world cruising.

As ATLAS says directly: ”Atlas supplies, to the yachting community, solid-state frequency converters from its ShorPOWER product line as a means of achieving clean and reliable onboard power from a dockside connection –anywhere in the world.  This conditioning of dockside marina power can be done without any type of power interruption.  With a ShorPOWER installed on your yacht, if you choose correctly, you’ll never again be concerned about whether the dockside power is 50 Hz or 60 Hz.  It won’t matter if the available dockside voltage is 208 volts, 240 volts, 380 volts, 480 volts, single-phase or three-phase.  That’s because the ShorPOWER frequency converter product line offers automatic conversion of any dockside power source, anywhere in the world, into power tailored to your yacht’s specific electrical requirements.” – ATLAS website

Why yachts are built to safety classifications like RINA or MCA

RINA, MCA, LLOYDS safetyThe world of yachting is vast and can be confusing. There is a lot of unique terminology to help make sense out of all the unique aspects and things around yachts. As the yachts get larger, and especially when owners start to consider chartering their yacht, safety classifications become increasingly important when choosing your next yacht.

There are lots of classifications from around the world. Lloyd’s of London has a safety classification that yachts can obtain. Two of the most popular and recognized standards of safety include the RINA from Italy (Registro Italiano Navale) and the MCA (Maritime & Coastguard Agency) also from the U.K. These classifications originated out of a need to cover risks related to loss or damage of the hull and rigging of commercial sailing ships. As time has moved on, they have grown to be used for both commercial and private safety standards and provide a scale of overall safety and sea-worthiness that shipyards achieve under construction and throughout performance. As RINA says:

“RINA Services is investing in the yachting market, developing new rules and services, which include all recent international standards, leveraging on its experience directly from the cruise ship sector. Its strength lies in its quick and highly valued service during the yacht’s life cycle, starting from the construction, testing of materials and components to the in-service periodical surveys for maintenance of class; all these matters ensure owners and manufacturers that their yachts meet the highest safety standards and enhance their commercial and qualitative value during their life-time.” -RINA website

Here’s why so many people think that Marlow Explorer Yachts are great

photo of 78' marlow ExplorerSitting alongside famous Las Olas Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale, FL, this 78′ Marlow yacht must have become one of the most photographed yachts ever! She is a real head-turner, partially thanks to her lapstrake hull and Portuguese style forward deck. The first time I stepped into the saloon of this yacht I was impressed by the comfortable atmosphere that is generated by all the wood finish. After spending some time on board, I grew to love the galley, from which you can see the entire main deck, and how the layout enables guests to have at least 4 private congregating areas while cruising. If you run your yacht and appreciate helm details then this vessel will be sure to keep you having fun with air traffic controller quality radar systems among many other goodies.

The beautiful wood work continues throughout the yacht and down into the staterooms. This consistent wood finish really gives you the impression of a classic quality yacht. The full-beam master suite has walk-through his and her heads to make you feel super comfortable when spending the night. Back top side, there is a comfortable aft deck and spacious flybridge with a sturdy tender ready to be dropped. This yacht was built by a knowledgeable owner who worked with Marlow through the entire build process to ensure that this is one of the most impressive Marlow Explorer yachts ever built!

What “Lapstrake Hull” means when talking about yachts

video of 78' marlow ExplorerThere are countless different yachts cruising the seas around the world and each one seems to manage to be different. After years of selling yachts, I still can have two identical yachts at the docks behind my office, next to one another, and the light switches aren’t in the same place! Alongside the complexity of the yachts, that we enjoy so much, is the attention to detail and the best way to “keep our ducks in a line” is to have our own brand of yachting terminology. Unfortunately, along with this comes a lot of questions. Questions range from “What are Arneson Surface Drives?” to “What is a Lapstrake hull?” Well, let’s answer one of those questions today.

A modern version of a Lapstrake Hull can be seen on this 78′ Marlow that we have for sale (you can see the picture above or be sure to check out the video). It is simply described as when a hull has the lines running horizontally along the lines of the hull. The term originated from Clinker boat building which started in Northern Europe and was successfully used by the Vikings (not to be confused with Viking Yachts :) ). This method is where the edges of the planks overlap and the ends of these planks are joined into a strake. Although modern hull building techniques vary, this type of hull design is commonly referred to as a Lapstrake Hull.
