HISTORY:
The boat was built by the original owner in Oregon in the late 80's.
Construction was completed and she was launched in 1991. Steeldiver
is of all steel construction. The hull material is 3/16 inch steel and
the keel construction is 1/4 inch steel, bottom plate is 5/8 inch steel
and the decks and cabins are 1/8 inch steel. She is insulated throughout
with spray-in-fire resistant urethane foam, which has been covered with
fire proof paint.
Steeldiver's maiden voyage took her to southeast Alaska, down the Pacific
Coast to Baja California Sur, Mexico. The boat has sailed coastal mainland
Mexico as far south as Manzanillo. Most of the 6 years afloat have been
spent exploring the Sea of Cortez. She was built for long distance cruising
and is a stable and comfortable sailing vessel. A minimum of wood to
care for makes her a very low maintenance vessel. All the interior wood
is teak and Honduras mahogany. The companion way steps and hatch trim
are oak. White marlite is used on the ceilings to lighten the interior
and counter tops are formica, in a butcher block pattern. The interior
floors are newly carpeted with indoor/outdoor carpet in a blue grey
tone. All the cabinetry is mahogany with cane fronts for ventilation.
The newly upholstered settee is in blues, greys and mauve. The two swivel
chairs are mauve, as well as the V berth bunks.
There are about 60 hours on the re-built engine and the boat has recently
been hauled out and sandblasted; the hull and topsides repainted. The
builder of Steeldiver has lived aboard her for 6 years. She has proven
to be a very comfortable home and great recreation on the water.
INTRODUCTION:
The main salon is entered from the cockpit by means of a sliding Lexan
hatch and hatch boards. To the right of the helm's seat is a ladder
with three steps leading to the cabin below. On the starboard side,
is the galley; immediately ahead and including the port side, is the
main salon. The galley extends down the starboard side of the boat and
includes a propane refrigerator, double stainless steel, extra deep
sink, 2 burner, propane stove and oven. A propane Paloma water heater
is under the stove. A long work counter has shelves and storage cupboards
under it.
Proceeding aft is the master stateroom. The passageway between the
galley and the engine room allows entry to the engine room through 2
doors on the starboard side. Along the port side, across from the engine
room, is a long work bench. The chart table is located forward of the
work bench and directly portside of the companionway stairs. Above the
chart table is a shelf to accommodate a HAM radio and antenna tuner.
A file cabinet is below the chart table and extra storage under that.
Forward of the chart table and mid-ship is the main salon with a U shaped
couch and fold out table. 2 swivel chairs across from the table allow
8 people to sit around the table.
Forward of the dining area, on the port side, is the head with toilet,
shower and wash basin. Across from the head , on the starboard side,
are 5 deep drawers and small hanging locker. A large hanging locker
with 4 deep shelves in the back stands next to the small hanging locker.
The door from the head and the door from the large hanging locker can
be opened and latched to form a small dressing area when exiting the
shower. The V berth is forward with 2 bunks on either side. A mattress
wedge fits between the bunks to create a queen size bed. There are shelves
above each bunk. On the port side of the V berth is a door to access
the chain locker. Located throughout the boat are four large overhead
hatches which provide ventilation and emergency exits. One is in the
V berth , one in the head, one in the hallway outside the head and one
over the master stateroom bunk.

Cabin Plan.
15 Bomar Rain Drain opening portholes provide good cross ventilation.
All cabins have 12 volt florescent lighting and the master stateroom
has two reading lights at the head of the bed. The wheel house is lighted
by a florescent tube light and so is the aft deck and lazarette area.
THE MAIN SALON:
The U-shaped, wrap around couch sits 6 and can sleep 2 when a mattress
insert is in place. When the fold-out table is extended, 8 people can
dine. Under the 2 swivel chairs (which tip up) is a very large area
for storage. Behind all the seat backs and under all the seats are storage
compartments. Behind the swivel chairs is long and deep storage. Book
shelves, a counter for a CD player and disc storage are also in the
main salon. In the middle of the cabin sole are 2 floor panels which
open into the bilges to house the fresh water pump & valves and
can also store very large items. Access to the transducer is trough
the largest of these two areas. It is located portside, under the couch
area. The entire boat has recently undergone remodelling. Every nook
and cranny throughout the boat is utilized for storage.
THE GALLEY:
The galley is located just slightly aft of the main salon area, on the
starboard side. The propane refrigerator (Dometic) is to the left of
the stainless steel, extra deep, double sink with storage beneath. A
slight rise in the floor in front of the sink and stove holds canned
good or sodas when stored on their sides. The 2 burner propane stove
with oven is to the right of the sink. At eye level, just below the
portholes, is a shelf for plates, glasses, spices, etc. The paloma water
heater is directly under the oven. Proceeding aft of the stove is a
long work counter with a cupboard on the left and a pantry at the right
of this counter. 3 large drawers and fold down cupboards are under the
work counter. A florescent light illuminates this working area.
MASTER SUITE:
The master suite is directly aft of the galley area and is the full
width of the boat. A double bed occupies 3/4 of this cabin and could
be expanded to a queen size bed with the addition of foam against the
port side hull. There are 4 large drawers under the bed, a vanity and
seat with storage under each and an additional area for articles left
of the foot of the bed. Right of the drawers is a short hanging locker
and next to that is an area for scuba tanks or whatever. Over the head
of the bed is another long storage area.
WORK BENCH:
Located on the port side of the boat, across from the engine room, is
a work bench approximately 9' long. 4 large drawers and cupboards beneath
it allow for ample storage of tools and equipment for maintaining the
boat. A complete set of mechanics tools, vice and basic maintenance
tools are included. At the aft end of the work bench is a door that
leads to a vast area of storage under the bed. Long items, lumber, etc.
fit nicely here and the rudder head and hydraulic steering cylinders
are housed here. Beyond this area, across the entire stern is the lazarette,
which is entered through a hatch topside and down a ladder into the
9' X 5' X5' space.
ENGINE ROOM:
The engine is located under the cockpit sole and is accessed from 5
doors. 2 are across from the work bench area on the port side, 2 doors
on the starboard side and a door behind the companionway steps. There
is extra room to carry stackable crates for storage, as well as the
house batteries.
HEAD:
Forward of the main salon, on the port side is the head equipped with
sink, shower and a Groco marine toilet. The walls are white Marlite
with a navy blue formica counter top. Storage under the counter extends
the length of the head. Shower water is pumped out with an electric
pump from its own sump. The holding tank is located under the sole in
the hall way outside the head. Across from the head are 5 deep drawers
and s short hanging locker over them. Right next to this locker is another
long hanging locker with 4 deep set drawers in the back of the closet.
By opening the head door and latching it against the short hanging locker,
one can create a dressing area when exiting the shower.
