ROAMER 65
Designed for ocean cruising or charter work, the ROAMER 65 features six twin state rooms, each with a private head. Spacious galley and dining area. Dual cockpits, each with steering controls, plus inside steering. Full headroom, enclosed access to outer hull staterooms.
Twin 30 HP Yanmar Saildrive powerplants, with twin generators, offers excellent maneuverability and the safety of a totally redundant propulsion system. Spacious machinery space in main hull for dive compressors, air conditioning, third generator, batteries, fuel, and watermaker. Every luxurious option is possible in a yacht of this size.
The ROAMER 65 was designed for fully crewed, luxury charter operations. Each Ama contains two large private staterooms for guests. These cabins are separated by a short passage which connects under the bridge deck to the pilot house. The pilot house contains a steering station, navigation area, lounges, and doors leading to the port and starboard cockpits.
Forward of, and below the pilot house, is the main dining area and galley. Further forward are quarters for two crew. Aft of, and below the pilot house, is a large stateroom for the captain. The engineering spaces are located under the pilot house, and contain two main engines, two generators, two air conditioning units, and two watermakers. Additional room is available for a dive compressor and work shop.
Each cockpit contains a steering station and sail control winches, as well as twenty feet of seats and storage. The transoms are scooped out for "toy" storage and easy access to the water. The performance rig features a rotating mast with a full batten main and electric roller furling. A smaller ketch rig is an option for blue water cruising.
Hull construction is balsa cored fiberglass with five full beam primary bulkheads. All floors and decks are glassed into these bulkheads, forming a single rigid structure. The hulls and part of the floors are formed upside down, and glassed together. After turning rightside up, the insides are glassed and fitted with partial bulkheads. The bulkheads from each hull are then butted together, aligned, and joined with a sandwich splice. Decks and floors form the remainder of the primary structure, and are glassed into all bulkheads, both amas, and the main hull. The combination of cored construction, multiple load paths, and fiberglass results in a damage tolerant, rigid design.
Many custom features are possible for a project like ROAMER, depending on the individual needs of the owner. The complexity of these features and amount of design work needed will determine the overall cost of the project, but a minimum budget of $200k and two years is recommended.
