Description
This 70' FPB (Functional Power Boat) long range expedition motor yacht is hull number # two, It was designed by Steve & Linda Dashew and built by Circa Marine & Industrial Ltd. in Whangeri New Zealand of aluminum in 2019. She was launched in April of that year, and after sea trials the new owner took her first voyage through Tahiti and onto Hawaii. After Hawaii he ran her to Dutch Harbor Alaska, down the British Columbia coast to Ventura California. Once establishing Ventura as home base, she made two round trips to Mexico up into the Sea of Cortes. Most of these voyages were done with the owner and one other crew member! With her eight fuel tanks holding 4300 gallons of fuel, you will have a range of approximately 4000 miles @9.5 knots running at 1700 RPM. Taking her down to 6 knots will give you about a 5000-mile range.
This vessel is a true passage maker built to handle all types of sea conditions! Her forward decks are designed to handle the wettest and roughest sea conditions one would ever want to encounter! The Niad Stabilizers have built in compartments around them to prevent flooding, if a Stabilizer was broken off, forward crash bulkhead, three water tight bulkhead doors, two automatic fire suppression systems and 50 gallon a minute emergency crash pump are just a few of her safety features! This type of engineering/redundancy is throughout the entire vessel!
The gourmet up galley is aft of the dinette and is fitted with Hi Mac counter tops with custom rolled edges, along with high quality appliances, and a farmhouse sink. The saloon and galley are fitted with large windows allowing excellent visibility from anywhere in the space.

Machinery
This vessel is powered by a pair of John Deere 4045AFM85 (4.5 liter) diesel inboard engines, each producing 165 horsepower. These are commercial motors rated to run 24 hours a day! The main engines are driving ZF 280-1 reduction gear transmissions, each turning a ratio of 2.47:1. The main engines and Cummins / Onan genset are located forward the lazarette bilge beneath the forward section of the aft deck. The engine room can be accessed from the interior companionway aft of the galley or from the lazarette bilge, both points are fitted with water tight bulkheads and doors. The engine room is exceptionally clean, well laid out, lit and maintained, access for servicing the machinery and equipment is excellent. The main engines are well maintained with 2300 hours.
The genset port aft in the engine room is within a hard sound shield. The exhaust for the machinery is wet and exits port and starboard from the hull sides above the waterline. The exhaust systems are fitted with aqualift mufflers, fiberglass tubes, silicon and neoprene hump hoses.
The fuel system consists of eight aluminum tanks, fore, mid, aft, port and starboard wing and ballast tanks along with a day tank. The fuel is pumped from the tanks to the day tank after it has been filtered. The fuel system is plumbed with neoprene high pressure hose with inline Racor primary filters along with stainless steel ball shutoff valves and manifolds. The day tank is fitted with a level sight tube while all tank levels are monitored via the Maretron system. The main engines are controlled by ZF Cruise Command single lever fly by wire controls from three stations.
