Our aim is to provide the ultimate boating experience whilst at the same time ensuring a sound financial investment.
The Pacific hulls have been designed using a combination of Dutch and U.K skills with the latest in CAD technology to a Category B, C or D rating for the Recreational Craft Directive.
HEATING SYSTEM
Webasto 9kw thermo 90s, diesel fired central heating system with programmer, running 4 radiators through a twin coil 16 gallon calorifier. This system is also connected to the engine cooling circuit meaning that the engine will heat the hot water. A 1 kw immersion is fitted to the calorifier. The main cabin utilises radiators and a blown air system, the bathroom has a towel radiator with the forward and aft cabins using a concealed fin radiator system.
240V POWER SYSTEM
These craft come with a 240v system as standard, tested and installed to the relevant RCD standards with plenty of sockets. All boats carry a t 2000w Inverter with 100 amp battery charger as standard - this unit has an automatic switching capability to switch between power sources and a detailed remote battery monitoring system. In addition to this, our Mitsubishi engine has a 240v engine mounted 4kva generator fitted as standard giving our customers 3 alternative sources of AC power. All our electrical systems have various upgrades as a design option.
GENERATOR OPTIONS
Our generator packs offer various ratings from 4kva - 12kva. All are acoustically housed and raw water cooled offering extremely quiet AIC power.
24V SYSTEM
4 x 110 amp semi-traction domestic batteries which are charged by a dedicated 110 amp alternator. These are connected to a Blue Sea distribution panel - as well as having individual breakers for all of the appliances it also has a good visual system display, giving you extremely effective battery and charging management. The main lighting is provided by a combination of wall lights and halogen down lighters throughout the boat complimented by under gunwhale mood lighting.
WHEELHOUSE
Constructed in a dark hardwood known as Sapele this traditional wheelhouse creates that "old ship feel" whilst combining the practical element of being fully collapsible. A strong emphasis has been placed on structural strength giving peace of mind for those coastal passages. As well as being the "bridge of the ship" this area has teak effect decking and a day bed whilst doubling up as a dining area with a free changeable view!
CABIN LINING AND INTERIOR HARDWOOD
The cabin is lined in Oak faced veneer with Oak trim throughout. All hardwood is screwed and dowled before receiving four coats of rub effect satin varnish. The galley doors have cherry inlay panels with all the gunwhale trims being Iroko.
FLOORING
Teak and cork decking in the wheelhouse flows through to fluted hardwood oak steps which lead down into the main cabin area. Both of the bedrooms and the saloon area are fully carpeted with a deep underlay. Both the bathrooms are tiled and the galley area has a hardwood Oak floor.
PACIFIC
FORWARD

The whole area is lit with halogen down lighters with two angled reading lights over the bed.
AFT CABIN
Similar to the forward cabin a king size double bed with 2 large drawers under (offer further storage), wardrobe on the port side, and 2 sock drawers by the bedside. The ensuite bathroom is situated on the starboard side.
GALLEY

The stainless cooker with separate hob are mounted in an oiled hardwood work surface with stainless fridge discreetly hidden under. A utility area situated opposite the galley houses a full size washing machineldryer (we can also offer a dishwasher and freezer option in this area).
SALOON

Designed predominantly for free standing furniture this large living area has attractive units and bookshelves built under the gunwhales offering discreet ample additional storage.
CONCLUSION
