Chessie Racing 4 (ex Spirit of Jethou) was purchased by the present owner in the fall of 2012. He liked the way this Swan 601 performed so much he has traded up to the new model Swan 80 which will give him even more performance. Nautor has now taken Chessie Racing 4 in trade and is fully motivated to sell her. During the short time of ownership Chessie Racing 4 was upgraded including four new sails, three of which have never been flown. Also, the services of one of the crew members off the recent Volvo Race was hired to go through Chessie Racing 4 to further optimize her for racing. As well as being a very competitive race boat Chessie Racing 4 also has the ability to turn into a performance cruising boat with electric winches and headsail roller furling. Chessie Racing 4 is in impeccable condition and she is highly recommended.

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.
{gallery}brokerage/66.701.Lionessa.Sailing{/gallery}
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
{gallery}brokerage/66.701.Lionessa.Exterior{/gallery}
The deck is an infusion moulded carbon/glass sandwich structure with a foam core. High density foam core or solid laminate is used under deck fittings. Deck beams of carbon/glass lay-ups over a foam core are used to stiffen the deck.
Laid teak of 65mm width and nominal thickness of 9mm is glued and vacuum bagged on side decks, coach roof, forward cockpit sole, aft cockpit sole and seating areas. The hatches for the anchor locker, sail locker and lazarette are finished in teak and sit flush with the deck. A pair of removable teak footrests for the helmsman are located one each port and starboard.
Coamings and coach roof are finished in white gelcoat NGA 9650 to match the hull, and coaming stripe finished in dark blue gelcoat NGA 7344 to match the bootline/cove stripe.
An aluminium mast collar is integral to the deck and designed for use with Spartite mast support and sealant. Tie rods link the mast collar and mast step to counter compression loads on the deck structure.
There are deck hatches leading to all cabin spaces and living areas. Deck hatches are Nautor custom made and flush mounted, with tinted acryic glass and teak surround. Gutters and frames are carbon composite and painted white. All hatches are supported by stainless steel gas struts and equipped with combination roller blinds and mosquito screens.
The hatch for the forepeak/crew cabin is 60cm x 60cm instead of the standard size 50cm x 39cm, and is lockable from the inside. Both the crew cabin hatch and main saloon hatch are equipped with dark blue canvas wind scoops.
The lockable main companionway has a manually operated sliding hatch and dropboard of tinted acrylic glass. An additional aft companionway gives access to the master cabin. It is built using a Nautor custom made flush fitting hatch of tempered glass with teak surround supported by stainless steel gas struts, and a white acrylic dropboard. Both companionways are equipped with mosquito screens for the dropboards and the aft with a suction blind for the hatch.
Four Goiot Cristal 40-24R tinted acrylic opening portholes are flush mounted in the coaming with anodized aluminium frames. One opens into the galley area, one into the master cabin bathroom and two into the master cabin itself. All equipped with mosquito screens and retractable blinds
Two tinted windows of toughened laminated glass are bonded into the coaming on each side of the main saloon and in conjunction with the hull windows, lend a light, airy feel to the interior. Equipped with retractable blinds for privacy in harbour.

A B&G remote vision wireless remote control receiver is installed in the aft cabin and handset at chart table.
Fully integrated with the B&G system using NMEA, is a Furuno Navnet vx2 radar/chart plotting system consisting of one 1834CBB/NT black box radar/plotter with a 17” LCD monitor at the Nav station. The 24” 4kW radome radar scanner with a range of 36nm is mounted on the front of the mast on a custom made stainless steel bracket. A Furuno Navnet GP-320B GPS/WAAS receiver situated on the pushpit is the main source of accurate position data for the black box, B&G H3000 system and the B&G autopilot system. A Furuno GP-37 DGPS/WAAS navigator with receiver on the pushpit is installed as back up. A changeover switch selects whether navigation data is inputted to the B&G from the Navnet network or the GP-37.
Connected to the black box network by Ethernet cable is a Furuno Fax-30 Weatherfax/Navtex dual frequency receiver, a Furuno FA-50 Class B AIS transponder and two Furuno GP1920C/NT 10.4” GPS plotters situated one on each pedestal on custom brackets (2010). Dark blue canvas covers for the plotters. The chart system for the Furuno Navnet network is C-Map NT MAX in SD card format. There is also an infra-red webcam connected to the Navnet system which monitors the engine room. Its signal can be viewed at the chart table and the starboard pedestal. All plotter diplays are capable of controlling any component connected to the Navnet network.
The main yachts computer is a Dell Optiplex 745 Ultra Small Form Factor (USFF) computer. Located in a vented locker above the chart table it is connected to the same 17” LCD monitor as the Furuno Navnet black box radar/plotter. A VGA changeover switch can select which system is displayed on the screen and a wireless keyboard and mouse is provided.
To complement the Furuno Navnet vx2 system, the computer has Maxsea Navnet software installed and is connected by ethernet to the Navnet network. The addition of a C-Map chart card reader and a change over switch to select either the GP-320B or GP-37 as NMEA input for the maxsea software means the computer can become a complete backup navigation system should the Furuno system fail. Maxsea navnet software includes Navnet Commander, performance module, routing module, AIS/ARPA module and Maxshell.
The yacht also has a wifi enabled local area network. A Linksys WAP54G wireless access point and eight port ethernet router connects the computer to the Inmarsat Fleet 33 transceiver and Sat C Transceiver for Met information, email and web browsing via satellite. Using a wifi adapter, the wifi network allows the computer to print to the wifi enabled all-in-one printer in the crew cabin. The computer is also linked to the entertainment system and digital movies and music can be played from the Computer to the Bose system and TV.
A Thrane & Thrane Fleet 33 provides voice / Fax / Data satellite communications, and a Thrane & Thrane Sailor Sat C provides GMDSS capability using Easymail software on the PC and a dedicated distress button at the chart table.
