I have had the privilage to sail on LIONESSA in the Caribbean, racing around Virgin Gorda and competing against three other Swan 66s in a friendly race. LIONESSA came out on top during this race. I was also on board when she was demonstrated to the press and various select clients in the Newport, RI area. I can therefore testify first hand the fine sailing characteristics as well as the attention to detail LIONESSA has received all her life. The captain of LIONESSA followed her construction very closely ensuring all the details were properly attended to and adjustments in her build were made to satisfy the demands of her owners. Two families own LIONESSA and the five year plan they initially had for her is now complete. The time has come to sell her. Highly recommended.

HULL

CONSTRUCTION

The Hull is of an E-Glass/Polyester laminate with a vinylester skincoat. Built in a female mould using the latest vacuum moulding technology for precision, the bottom laminate from the waterline down is monolithic for impact resistance whilst the topsides are of a foam cored sandwich construction containing a high proportion of unidirectional fibre in the laminate stack for strength and fatigue resistance.

Longitudinal stringers are glass/carbon lay-ups over pre-made hollow sections. Longitudinal girders and transverse keel girders are L section in a glass/carbon lay-up with Main Shroud and split backstay chainplates of a carbon composite construction bonded to the inner skin.

Structural bulkheads are of infused carbon/vinylester foam sandwich construction. Watertight collision bulkheads are installed between the forepeak and forward head, and the aft cabin and lazarette.

Engine bed is built in GRP with steel backing plates and bonded to the inner skin in such a way to form a drip tray under the engine to prevent oil and diesel from contaminating the bilge.

A separate airtight locker for 2 x 6kg LPG bottles is located in the lazarette. It is accessed via the port deck locker and vented overboard.

All through-hull fittings below the waterline are bronze, with good access for opening/closing and maintenance. Wooden bungs of the correct size are secured with to each through-hull fitting for emergency use.

Two tinted hull windows of toughened laminated glass are bonded into the hull on each side of the main saloon and lend a light, airy feel to the interior. Equipped with retractable blinds for privacy in harbour.

FINISH

Hull finish is Gelcoat NGA 9650 white; with bootline, cove stripe and coaming stripe finished in dark blue gelcoat NGA 7433. Below the waterline is finished with 2 coats of Black International Micron 66 antifoul. To help combat the increased levels of fouling likely to occur along a yachts waterline, 2 extra coats of antifoul have been applied from the waterline to a depth of 1m.

KEEL

The Keel is an L-type lead casting alloyed with Antimony and bolted to the monolithic keel stub integral to the hull. Keel bolts are high tensile steel.

RUDDER

The Rudder is built using carbon fibre/epoxy skins laminated over a foam core, with a tubular carbon fibre stock. A weed deflector is mounted forward of the rudder and the rudder is supported by dual JP3 supplied self aligning bearings with dual seals on the lower bearing to help prevent leakage.

STEERING SYSTEM

Dual 1.05m diameter carbon fibre steering wheels by Exit Engineering are mounted independently port and starboard on custom-built composite pedestals incorporating sealed roller bearings. A friction brake is installed on the starboard pedestal to lock the rudder/wheels in place. Steering wheels are linked by a combination of chain and wire via JP3 anti-jam steering sheaves to an aluminium steering quadrant bolted to the rudderstock. Steering wheel rims are covered in grey marine grade leather. An emergency steering tiller is stored in the lazarette. It attaches directly to the rudderstock and can be operated from the aft cockpit via a JP3 through-deck fitting.

TRANSOM DOOR/BATHING PLATFORM

The transom door doubles as a bathing/boarding platform and has a 9mm teak surface on the topside. Two custom-built stainless steel rams, operated via push button controls in the aft cockpit or wireless key fobs from the dock hydraulically open and close it. A pneumatic seal and associated 24v air compressor seal the door when closed. Deck fittings are installed for fitting of ladders allowing access to both deck and water from the platform. A custom-built bow roller to facilitate the loading and unloading of the tender from the lazarette locates in the same deck fittings. A freshwater showerhead with 3m flexible hose is stowed on a reel in the lazarette. A dark blue canvas transom cover is supplied.

FRESH WATER SYSTEM

All fresh water pipes are polypropylene, nylon or copper tubing. A pressurised hot and cold water system is installed with an 18 litre pressure accumulator tank connected. The system is run by two 24V pressure activated progressive pumps for quiet operation. A 75lt stainless steel hot water tank/water heater is thermostatically controlled and can heat water with a heating elelment running off AC power or from a seperate heat exchanger on the main engine which heats the hot water circuit whenever the engine is running. Hot water tank is equipped with non return valve to prevent back mixing and a pressure relief valve to prevent over-pressure. A thermostat mixing valve is installed to regulate hot water temperature in the system. All hot water pipes are insulated. The system is supplied from a 500lt baffled and vented stainless steel tank located under the floor in the main saloon. The tank can be filled either via the dedicated deck fill whilst in harbour or from the watermaker whilst out at sea. A guage on the main panel displays water level. The system supplies water to all washbasins, sinks, showers and there is one fresh water outlet on deck in the anchor locker. In addition, the system provides charcoal filtered fresh water to a dedicated drinking water outlet in the galley and also to the icemaker.

WATERMAKER

The watermaker is a Spectra Newport 700. Rated output approximately 100lt/hr depending on water quality and conditions. The unit is 24V and includes an in-line salinity test probe which automatically switches the product flow from overboard to tank once a satidfactory salinity level is reached. The unit is also equipped with an automatic fresh water flush system which rinses the unit through every five days if unused. A remote control panel fitted at the nav station monitors the system and push button controls can start and stop the system automatically. In addition, a Spectra Z-Brane electronic water treatment system is fitted preventing the build up of bio-slime and organic growth in the membrane housings by electrostatically positively charging water molecules so they cannot bond to each other. This virtually negates the need for cleaning or storing with harsh chemicals unless the system is shut down for prolonged periods and so prolongs the life of the membranes and the overall efficiency of the watermaker.

SEA WATER SYSTEM

There are bronze seacocks for all through-hull connections below the waterline all located in accessible positions. The inboard side of all seacocks is fitted with a spigot long enough to take twin hose clamps. All seawater pipes are reinforced rubber hose or nylon piping.

The tank is fitted with a level switch indicating ¾ full (high) and full with lights on the main panel. Tank ventilation equipped with saniguard vent filter to prevent odors. The grey water tank is emptied by a 24V pump, fitted within the tank, to seacock via siphon break. The pump has three settings; Off, Manual and Auto. When auto is selected, the tank will empty itself when the high level is reached.

BLACK WATER SYSTEM

All toilets are connected to a 210lt stainless steel baffled and vented black water holding tank. The tank is fitted with a level switch indicating ¾ full (high) and full, with lights on the main panel. Tank ventilation equipped with saniguard vent filter to prevent odors. The black water tank is emptied by a 24V pump, fitted within the tank, to seacock via siphon break. The tank can also be emptied by suction line from a dedicated deck outlet when in harbour.

TOILET SYSTEM

Toilets in guest cabins are Tecma silence plus 24V. Flushing is by freshwater from the pressurised cold water system. Consumption per flush approx 2.5lt. Operation is by touch button controls located in each bathroom and the function cycle is completely automatic. A high performance macerator pump installed in each toilet enables the complete fragmentation of organic residues and transfer of waste to the black water holding tank. The full level switch in the black water tank automatically shuts down power to the toilets when the tank reaches the full level. A manual Jabsco toilet is installed in the crew cabin with facility for Fresh water and sea water flushing, and can also be emptied to the black tank when in harbour or straight overboard when far enough out at sea.

BILGE PUMP SYSTEM

There are 3 separate bilges; Forepeak, Main and Lazarette. Each bilge is equipped with a 24V submersible pump rated at 140l/min. There are two whale titan manual backup pumps rated at 100l/min. One located in Crew cabin which empties the forepeak and main bilge (and also the chain locker) and one in the aft cockpit which empties the lazarette and main bilge.
