A Bukh DV20, twin cylinder (20 BHP) diesel engine drives a fixed, three-bladed propeller via a conventional stainless steel shaft. A 'Deep Sea Seal' is fitted to the inboard end of the stern tube for a relatively convenient and minimal maintenance, dripless seal. 

Engine fitted with an easy change 'Speedseal' impeller cover 

 

The electrical systems have been updated over the years and two 120 A/hr batteries fitted for the 2022 season. The batteries are selected through a rotary switch to enable either battery to be used for engine cranking or domestic 'Services' use, or to be linked. Charging is by means of the engine mounted alternator and/or a 4-step battery charger (when connected to shore support on a marina). A 150W semi-rigid P.V. [solar] panel has been temporarily used in 2022 to establish that its size is suitable to balance the needs of the fridge etc. before fitting a rigid panel. This temporary panel will be included in the inventory of equipment sold with the boat. 

 

The deck-level navigation lamps, together with the masthead-mounted lamps have been fitted with LED bulbs; as have the main saloon's reading lights. 

 

The vessel has been based in France for a number of seasons, consequently some Continental-style AC outlets have been fitted - in addition to the British 13 Amp sockets within the galley and at the quarter berth. 

Being of post 1984 vintage, the joinery within 'Lucy Louise' is of the more desirable teak-faced plywood with solid teak cappings, head-linings are of foam-backed vinyl; the majority of which are original and have been re-attached as necessary, albeit without the foam in some areas. Headroom of some 6' 1" at the base of the companionway steps. All berths are 6' 3" long with those in the saloon, straight and parallel to the centreline and provided with lee boards thereby making excellent sea berths. The cushions and covers were renewed in 2014. 

 

The for'cabin offers a conventional double 'V'-berth with stowage beneath and shelves, some 6' in length on both sides. Despite deploying the infill there remains standing room to change clothing abaft the head of the berth, with a dedicated hanging locker, in addition to the more communal locker opposite the heads compartment. 

 

The heads' compartment is forward and to port of the centreline, with an optional additional deck hatch over for greater light and ventilation. A Lavac marine toilet is fitted. Pressurised cold water is supplied to the stainless steel handbasin. 

 

The saloon settees, re-upholstered in 2014, convert to sleeping berths utilising the space beneath the side locker units to increase width right to the side of the hull and the settee backs provide leeboards. The port side settee converts to a double berth for harbour use and there is good daytime stowage of pillows/blankets/duvets behind the backrests in addition to the space beneath and lockers with deep fiddled shelves over, above. The double-leafed table is a wonderful feature of the Fulmar's interior; genuinely big enough to accommodate six diners and securely mounted to the hull structure and thereby offer secure support/handhold to crew in a seaway. 

 

The Navigation Station is to port and enjoys a dedicated seat rather than relying upon the head of the quarter-berth. The forward-facing chart table, with chart storage under, will accommodate a folded Admiralty chart and is supported by a 3-drawer plinth. There is also a 5' long locker with sliding perspex doors above and bulkhead-mounted navigation instruments. 

 

Aft of the Nav. Station there is a very generous quarter-berth that is 3' 10" wide at its head and an opening portlight to the cockpit well lends valuable light and ventilation to this area. 

 

The "L"-shaped galley, to starboard at the base of the companionway, offers a large inset stainless steel sink with pressurised cold water supply. There is an electrically refrigerated icebox (operating on either 12V DC or 240V AC and a gimballed, replacement gas cooker by Dometic (approx 8 years old) featuring a hob with three burners, grill and oven. There is excellent stowage with cut-outs in the aft bulkhead for crockery, a cutlery drawer and a locker under the sink, and an additional locker with three shelves.

The Cockpit affords seating in comfort for up to six adults and provides tiller steering, single lever engine controls and instrumentation. There is a deep (climb down into!) locker to starboard with a gas canister locker immediately ahead. 

 

Both the 'Primary' (sheet) winches and the secondary (halyards and other controls) winches have been replaced with relatively modern self-tailing winches by Lewmar. 

 

Sail controls are led aft by way of turning blocks and rope clutches to the winches mounted on the cockpit coaming and coachroof. 

 

Ground tackle includes a 35lb CQR main anchor with 60m of chain (new 2022) cable handled using a 12V DC windlass. 

 

Other deck equipment includes: 

High spec. tiller extension by Spinlock. 

Teak sheathed cockpit seats and teak gratings to cockpit sole. 

White-painted, anti-slip finish to deck and coach roof surfaces (in minimising the cabin temperatures in hot climes).
