Detailed Vessel Description
The "ISLAND WATERS" was well on its way to an extensive refit when the oldest Robb sibling Dee passed away leaving about 40% of the renovation work to be completed. Fortunately, all the work performed on the vessel to this point matched the quality and results that would make the Fairmile Construction craftsmen proud as every refurbished task undertaken by Dee until now was subject to the high standards and respect for the vessel established by Fairmile. Much of the work he commissioned was the type that took major elbow-grease to recondition and repair, which included the engine room, the exterior of the hull and superstructure. The hull was hand-ground to bare metal, faired and repainted while the engine room appears like new with fresh paint and new or refurbished equipment and machinery that provide the vessel the readiness to cruise aboard once she has been totally refit

Accommodations
Entrance aboard "ISLAND WATERS" is gained from the port side which provides movement fore and aft on the teak overlaid side deck. Turn aft to the covered Fantail deck with its pleasing elliptical canoe-stern or move forward to the safety of the gated Portuguese Bridge and the painted steel foredeck. Port and starboard side decks are covered by the bridge deck overhang or eyebrow that provides shelter for crew handling lines or passengers moving forward and aft in complete safety. The Bridge/Boat deck access is from the starboard side wing door of the wheelhouse. The substantial Promenade/Boat Deck allows ample room for entertaining, viewing, lounging or to secure tenders and toys aboard. The main salon is entered from the aft deck through a center-line water tight door with a step-over bulkhead sill that opens to a generous 20' X 15' main salon with a wide starboard side companionway forward to the 8' deep X 15' pilothouse. The stairwell to to the private master and VIP suites is located to the port aft corner of the main salon. Located ahead of the main salon's forward bulkhead is the galley. Moving forward of the galley along the starboard companionway is the stairwell to the below deck guest quarters and engine room. Mahogany steps lead to the raised 8' X 15' wheelhouse. It was the consensus among knowledgeable mariners; at the time the "ISLAND WATERS" was constructed, that the additional length, wider beam, low center of gravity and heavier displacement of trawler yachts built by the Fairmile Construction Company compared most favorably against long range motor yachts constructed in previous decades. Gurnee Munn, Jr. the first owner of "ISLAND WATERS" was convinced that the comfortable sea keeping qualities of the Fairmile 82 was due to the wide beam and length; an opinion he based upon his personal experiences aboard the vessel while crossing the Atlantic when cruising home to Florida from Scotland in stormy seas. Following that adventure; he embarked on a three year circumnavigation tour of the world.

Galley
The galley is located aft of the raised wheelhouse with access from the starboard companionway just forward of the main salon to the wheelhouse. The area is fitted with a large custom built double door refrigerator/freezer and double stainless steel sink with butcher block countertops. Pantry, cupboard, cabinet and drawers secure dishes, cutlery and provisions for extended cruises.

Construction
Construction The Fairmile Construction Company LTD at the Berwick Shipyard Upon-the-River Tweed, Scotland had a reputation for construction of heavy built military launches for the Royal Navy during WW II and continued with fishing trawlers, ferries, tugs and yachts following the war. The Corten steel hull is fabricated with compartmentalized heavy watertight transverse steel bulkheads fitted with water-tight batten-down doors to seal-out the possibility of water intrusion. The Corten steel hull plates are 3/8" welded and riveted on transverse frames 3" X 1/4" angle on 16" centers with longitudinal stringers of 3" X ¼" angle on 3' centers. The Bow Crash Bulkhead and Aft Athwartships Crash Bulkhead provide safety against flooding if struck or damaged. The steel hull was welded and riveted in a time intensive process while the steel decks and boat deck, the raked and flared bow were welded. The decks were overlaid with 2" teak and teak cap rails and trim are affixed to bulwarks. "ISLAND WATERS" was constructed to Lloyds of London Maltese 100 A-1, which was renewed in 1976 and 1981.

Electrical
Due to the need for redundancy and back-up requirements on extended voyages the "ISLAND WATERS" has two model D-320 Caterpillar 3 phase 110/240 Volt 40 Kw generators; one fitted with air start and the other with hydraulic start. The main 150 lbs. PSI air compressor is new. There are numerous bilge pumps, freshwater circulating pumps, hydraulic pumps and saltwater pumps aboard.

Engine Details & Mechanical Equipment
The main 170 HP air start Caterpillar D-342 diesel engines are in excellent running condition. As with nearly all Long Range Cruisers of that era the motors are dry stack exhaust which flows out through the funnel located aft of the Wheelhouse cabin top. The Main Engines and Generators are Fresh-Water-Cooled through Heat Exchangers located within the vessel interior with Cool Raw Sea Water supplied by two sea chests eliminating the need for multiple through-hole fittings for machinery cooling. The machinery and engine room equipment is cruise ready. Air Compressors supply air to pressure tanks for starting both main motors and one generator. Three heavy chemical fire retardant bottles are fitted within the engine room for safety in the event of fire. The Lube Oil Tank is 150 gallons and a 500 Gallon Day Tank with a visual sight gauge is located on the forward engine room bulkhead which provides gravity feed of fuel to the diesel motors while underway. Tools, workbench, storage and handsome Mahogany Engineers Desk make the heart of the "ISLAND WATERS" a well organized small ship to safely function under all conditions when cruising extended passages to far distant locales. Vosper stabilizers were installed in 1976. Twin 48" X 41" three-blade Bronze propellers, stainless steel shafts and a massive barn-door type rudder are fitted aboard.

Broker's Remarks
It is always gratifying to be associated with classic yachts with proven pedigrees, which stand the test of time due to the quality of design, construction and ownership. The "ISLAND WATERS" is such a vessel with nearly five decades of providing her owners with priceless adventures aboard whether circumnavigating the globe or cruising the inside breakwaters of Long Beach Harbor with celebrity guests aboard on the 4th of July. The craft is a rugged and serious passage making steel trawler with any ocean capabilities. She has aged gracefully; yet it is time to complete the refit to start her on her journey moving forward toward the next five decades of excellent service for new owners
