Many of these boats are used for long term cruising or circumnavigations.The American Peter Ibold is the architect of the ship. The Seebeart is a 12 meter long (40') ketch rigged  two-master sailing ship. The ship is particulary suitable for long-term traveling and/or permanent residence The positioning and quantity of windows in the “deck-saloon” enables an excellent view. There are two sleeping cabins. Additionally, the ship offers sleeping places for up to 7 persons. The spacious flat deck is furnished in teak, the same is the case for the interior. The long keel ensures a comfortable sea ride and security when touching the ground. The ship is extremely strong build; with a very thick  hull and double rigging, resulting in a high degree of safety. The hull is painted blue with a white horizontal line from front to back. The build up is white with a blue bimini and blue sail bags. The ship is equipped with all the modern facilities, is well maintained and ready to go.

Description

The cockpit, positioned behind the mizzen mast, has a maximum of six seats: two on both sides and two on the bench behind the rudder. The floor and benches are furnished with teak. To make sure the cockpit is rapidly emptied of seawater, in the case of high waves, it has two large water outlet pipes. The wooden rudder is classically shaped. Connected to the rudder is a windvane which is positioned in the back of the cockpit.

Besides  reefing the sails, which has to been done next to the main mast, all handlings to the sails can be done from the cockpit. The cockpit is furthermore equipped with a retractable table that is connected to the steering column, four open cabinets which could be used for storing lines, and a bimini and  sprayhood that gives the cockpit the necessary protection against for example rain or sun.

Depending on the weather and ones preferences, the bimini can be adjusted by lowering the sides to offer more protection. By doing so, one can completely or partly close the cockpit. At the same time, the windows in the sprayhood gives the necessary view. Furthermore, the cockpit has its own windscreen around the  back guardrail.   

A framework (Davids) for lifting and storing the dinghy is available at the rear of the cockpit. The dinghy’s outboard engine is connected to the side railing, the same is the case for the safety equipment (Lifesling and two flags) and the flagpole. The backstay of the head mast, which ends up in the cockpit, is used as an antenna for the SSB receiver/transmitter. Below the benches are three lockers located; two on both sides and one at the back.

The gas locker, of which the connected gas hose runs straight to the galley, is positioned next to the rear locker. Below the sprayhood one will find electric plugs to connect extra equipment, the VHF, plotter, autopilot and speakers. Two varnished wooden doors separate the cockpit and salon from each other. The wooden nameplate is secured, behind the cockpit, against the rear of the ship. Additionally, the cockpit offers the possibility to manually use an emergency bilge pump and rudder. Both the rudder and connected table are equipped with covers. The rudder is furthermore fitted with a compass and a fuel lever. Various cushions offer comfort in the cockpit.

Finally, the heater and steering installation are build underneath the cockpit. The bathroom, with separated draining to store sail clothes, is located in the same part of the ship.

The Galley

The galley is positioned a little bit lower than the salon; this is the result of the flat front deck under which it is build. It is separated from the salon by an upstanding bar-shaped platform on the port side of the ship. Underneath the bar are cups and glasses in sea-fixed holders. The galley has been recently equipped with a brand new dresser with round corners and upstanding edges. Above spacious stainless steel sink are two large water taps: one for cold and warm water and one for seawater. The three pits stove is located on the right hand side of the dresser, and has a build-in oven. It is possible to cover the stove by lowering a flap of the dresser, this gives the opportunity to use the ‘stove area’ for general kitchen use. Above the cupboards that surround the dresser, is an open space to dry dishes and store vegetables (in nets). Further to the right of the dresser is the fridge which is equipped with a stainless steel framework and “beer can machine” to keep everything at its place during sea swell.

Underneath the dresser are cupboards to store cutlery, sauce- and frying pans, cleaning supplies and dispose garbage. The galley is furthermore equipped with a fan and a ventilation hatch.                             

Captain’s Cabin

This cabin is positioned opposite the galley on starboard side and could serve as a either a quest stay or storage room. The single bed (with springbars) can be extended to a double bed. Above this bed is another single bed equipped with a swing-sheet. Additionally, the cabin is outfitted with a hatch, lights, and a lines closet with storage for shoes.

The bathroom and Washroom

After the galley and captain’s cabin are the bathrfoom on port side and the washroom on starboard side. Both have their own door, lights and ventilation. In the bathroom is a shower (warm and cold water) and sink with large side mirror. Under, as well as above, the sink is storage space for toilet requisites. The shower is separated from the sink by a shower curtain.

The Deck

The Seebaert has an nice large and flat deck which is entirely furnished in great condition teakwood. The rubbers between the teak have been renewed in July 2009.
The ship has a leading point on which an anchor terrace has been built, giving space to two anchors; a 30 kilos Bruce anchor with 70 meters of 10’’ galvanized chain (new 2009), and a CQR anchor with 40 meter line and 10 meter 8’’ chain. Both anchors are served by an electric anchor winch. The side edges of the ship have also been furnished with teak and are covered with stainless steel slides.  The ship has on both sides 3 bollards, in the front, middle and rear, which are heavily carried out.

On both side of the salon are sheet lead constructed. Furthermore, on the deck of the salon two 30 watt solar panels are fitted.

The yankee  is installed with a furling system. Behind the yankee the jib with also a furling system. See for specifications the inventory list. After the jib the main mast which has steps build on.  Behind the main mast you will find the live raft between the deckheads of the galley and the captains cabin

A radar and a wind generator are fitted to the mizzen mast. The wind generator can be handled from the saloon. Bothe the main and the mizzen masts have sail dropbags. There are six sail in very good condition:  the yankee, jib, main sail (fully battened), mizzen (battened).
spinnaker and stormjib.

All hatches on deck have covers which enables them to stay open during rain. Connected to the rigging of the head mast are cleats to tie up various halyards. The main mast has both a combined (LED) top light and (LED) anchor light as steam light. Separated navigation lights are placed on the pulpit and stern guardrail.

The front- and mainsail both have a travellerrail with sheet. The mizzen is also used as a crane for the outboard motor of the dinghy.

Engine Compartment

The engine is positioned in the lowest part of the ship, underneath the salon and directly on the keel. It is a VolvoPenta D2 55 HP engine, installed in 2004 and has around 2550 engine hours. The engine, which has proven itself reliant and silent, powers a four-blade propeller.
When the engine is running it provides heating for the 20 liter boiler. The boiler is also heated when the wall current is connected to the ship.

Underneath the engine is the bilge in which a bilgepump with a float chamber and reserve pump is connected. If these pumps would stop working, an installed alarm will inform the crew of a possible rise in bilgewater. Additionally, the bilgewater could also be pumped out manually by using the pumps in the cockpit. 

The hot air heater has been installed in the back of the ship and is accessible from the salon. This heater provides hot air in the salon and bathroom, but could also be used for ventilation purposes.
