(2) New Spectra 400 (Min 16 gal/hr each) with several special maintenance and usage features, for example,when flushed with fresh water, the filters and membrane are treated such that no growth occurs for 30 days.

Dinghy davits which are horizontal allows the dinghy to be pulled up tight.

Master electrical on/off switch easily accessible for safety.

Anchor chain locker designed so that even though the chain is 7/16” and is 83 m long, it doesn’t have to be flaked as it stacks nicely and easily without coming even close to the windlass.

Garaged swim ladders located at each transom swim step can be opened or closed from above or in the water.

Turnbuckles on whisker stays facilitates easily keeping them properly tightened (a too easy to underestimate the importance of these kinds of things for stressed conditions). These stays connect to a titanium bar (inside the crossbar) instead of the stainless bar (eliminating rust factor there).

2100 W of solar power and, Watt and Sea Hydro generator provide enough power to run all the equipment, including watermakers, hot water kettle, breadmaker, toaster, 16 ft.³ refrigerator, 12 ft.³ freezer + quick freeze freezer, winches and even some HVAC and dive tank filling from our own Brownie electrical compressor (all working from the batteries).

Special Lazy Jack system which reduces problems and risks of raising the full batten and square topped mainsail.

Salon roof designed with gutters for water catchment that goes direct to water tanks (when desired).

The 15” Nauticomp displays at each helmstation receive all the information from the Furuno (“Black box”) chart plotter, as well as that from MaxSea and Open CPN – switching from one to another is done by a simple push of a button at a helmstation or at the nav station.

Mastervolt electrical and electronics information is made available to an iPad through an onboard routing system. For example – both battery bank’s current, volts, and fullness, together with any desired wind, boat speed/direction, etc. information is available anywhere on the boat.

Removable and well-designed “Dodger” for each of the helmstations, to further protect the cockpit and helmstations – when desired.

All reefing and foresail furling is done from within the safety of the aft cockpit and at either helmstation. – Includes (2) RAMS, one each for the staysail and reacher tacklines, so that the luff tensions can be safely adjusted from the cockpit, particularly when changing foresails. Notched opening in the Bimini, above the main halyard winch, allows for operation by foot while being able to see, feel and hear everything when raising the mainsail.

An outdoor sink is in the outdoor cockpit, near the barbecue, which has hot and cold fresh water, salt water as well as a foot pump if electricity were to be lost.​

Carbon daggerboards with Vesconite bearings (with more freedom to raise and lower safely) to any level including flush with the bottom. Designed and built unique “daggerboard pole” system to be able to completely remove and reinstall the daggerboards directly in line with their outward and raked slope, without need of shore or other outside assistance.

Carbon board racks which allow securing surfboards, etc. easily, with a small trampoline built between the davits and, accessing the dinghy when up.

16 ft.³ fridge and 12 ft.³ freezer, each with drawers to maximize utility, to secure good airflow and, with the faces made of carbon, VIP insulating airbags and secure latches on the outside to not impact the insulation. Special airflow system to substantially improve the capabilities of the compressors. An additional small but more powerful freezer (per cubic foot) is used to more quickly freeze fresh caught fish and other foods, preparatory to putting them into the salon freezer.

Very strong, light and beautifully shaped North Sails 3di square topped mainsail, jib, and reacher.

Engine driveshafts exit the inboard side to allow for only about 25 inches (64 cm) of draft (with daggerboards and rudders raised).

The yacht has been strengthened and reinforced so that she can withstand all the rigors and demands placed on her. All of those exasperating, new design/build faults and weaknesses have been thoroughly sought, discovered and not only fixed, but in most cases substantially upgraded and improved. Added and improved deck hardware for strength and reliability as well as to better facilitate use of all winches, including to be able to see directly what is going on with any activity. Running rigging, including lines, clutches/jammers, organizers, etc. significantly upgraded in strength and function. Carbon jammers at the aft end of the boom for the clew reef lines, have been uniquely configured so as to set automatically and properly, and operated from the safety of aft cockpit. Steering cars and fasteners upgraded and improved for reliability. A very detailed preventive maintenance schedule for all the equipment is kept updated.

Special removable access panels into the forward bows from each forward cabin, facilitates bringing extra long standup boards and other long objects inside and out of the way for crossings. Panels are secured from inside the bows and with rubber seals so the bows remain a secondary crash box.

M&M 65' (19.8 m), current design, with all carbon, including the engineering provided for the lightest weight with proven high-strength, together with the reverse bows, 6m dagger boards encased by Veskinite bearings (which can be raised and lowered easily while sailing at good speed), rudders that can be raised to any level, etc.

Special Rudder well “Swisher Plate” system, with Venturi’s removing water when under way, to allow the full water line length of the vessel to be used (not having the Stern cut out).

(2) 4000 W inverters (so if one goes we still have another one).

UV resistent black acetal added where sliding (such as door and sliders) and to the sides of the anchoring chain plates – to greatly reduce wear, plus for refrigeration drawer latches, etc.

New 23Kw lithium iron phosphate batteries (not lithium ion), with 24V/960A capacity.

Good access has been created for all equipment, engine, plumbing, etc, to provide ease, and therefore better maintenance procedures.

Dorades’ for all 4 cabins and the salon with powered low amp draw fan, mosquito (or "no no") screened, most often negating the need for air conditioning.

Twin helm stations, with sliding hard covers over each (carbon “garaged” completely with gutters to drains), all allowing for the ideal view of all the sails, and surrounding horizon, leeward bows, the raising and lowering of the daggerboard’s, etc., all from either side, and with the full array of electronics at each one, double wide adjustable seats, etc.

3 speed self tailing winches (Harken) available at each helm position, providing the ability for very rapid furling and other applications.
