COMMENTS AND NOTEWORTHY FEATURES AT A GLANCEA tried-and-true Blue Water Cruiser ready for the next adventureRobust Build- With her solid construction, beefy rigging, reliable electronics and bullet-proof auxiliary power plant, RUTEA can take her next owners anywhere in the world, as she has with her current ones RUTEA best feature is the way she sails - from dead-down wind to close hauled, miles disappear in her wake. Beautifully balanced on any point of sail, it's remarkable how little correcting the autopilot must make, even in significant seaways Spares for spares. The current owner heavily invested in making sure there was no major system on RUTEA that could not be rebuilt or replaced in here travels. RUTEA’S systems have been continuously updated and upgraded under the present ownership. Since 2009 the current owner and their family have ventured over 49,000 miles and 39 countries in their circumnavigation with RUTEA.ACCOMMODATIONSOwners Interior Comments: All the way forward inside of RUTEA’S cabin, a ’wet’ head is separated from the anchor locker by a water-tight bulkhead. This well-varnished head has two sinks, two hanging lockers and a direct-discharge Raritan PH-II marine toilet.Immediately aft of the forward head, on either side of the hull, are two cabins, each with a door to the forward head. Both cabins have upper and lower bunks, all bunks have very comfortable, custom-made mattresses and each bunk is also fitted with a Hella two-speed fan and an LED courtesy lamp. All berths aboard RUTEA have both lee cloths and lee boards except the aft stateroom which only has a lee board.Aft of the forward cabins is RUTEA’S main salon with her massive drop leaf table, ample seating (we have served up to 13 people at this table) and commodious storage spaces. The table has a beautifully built silverware caddy built in and under the caddy is a well-hidden liquor storage area. When we were in Thailand, we had the veneer of the table replaced with a 5mm-thick teak veneer and 12 coats of varnish.Aft of the main salon, to port, is RUTEA’S L-shaped galley with a double stainless-steel sink and granite counter tops. There are two refrigerators, both with access from the top and one with a front access as well. A gimbaled 4-burner Force 10 range is fitted with a Xintex propane solenoid control and gas sensor. Above the range is a custom-made spice rack and behind the range are 3 lockers for storage. In front of the range is a stainless-steel safety bar that keeps the person cooking from falling into the range if the weather gets heavy - it also has attachment points for a ‘galley strap’.Aft of the main salon, to starboard, is the forward-facing navigation station with its large chart table and convenient storage underneath.Directly behind the navigation station is the workshop. This well-lit space has a large work bench (complete with a 120mm Heuer vise) and plenty of storage for tools and spare parts. There’s also a hanging locker, a 12-volt 'auto-plug' plus access to the engine and genset. Unlike most sailboats of this size, RUTEA provides access to the boat’s mechanical systems in a place where it doesn’t hinder passage of others. On most sailboats of this size, you either must lift the companionway ladder or remove floorboards when you need to access the engine - not so on RUTEA.On the opposite side of the hull from the workshop, just aft of the galley, is the aft head, with double doors.RUTEA’S aft cabin is a delightful and private retreat. With a very comfortable double bunk, two hanging lockers, a spacious settee, a folding vanity and plenty of bookshelf space, it’s the perfect place to sleep or just relax.CONSTRUCTIONHull Material:                        Fiberglass w/Balsa coreDecks Material:                    Fiberglass w/Balsa corePaint:                              Hull, Deck, and bottom painted in 2023CAPACITIESGross Tonnage:                      19Fuel Capacity:                       681 Litres     180 GallonsFresh Water Capacity:               454 Litres     120 Gallons              Speed      Consumption p/h       Range         RPMEconomical:      6 Kts          .9 gal/hr          1000 km       1400MAIN MACHINERYMain Engines:          Beta Marine 90 Kubota V3800Engine Hours:          5,000 approximatelyGear Boxes:            Transmission – Hurth ZF45A 2.48:1 S/#17432UShafting:               Aquamet 35mm, Flex coupling –R&D Marine P/# 910-009                     Shaft Seal – Lasdrop Gen II 35mmx51mmPropellers:             Gori 24”x18” 3-blade Left hand rotationGENERATORS & ELECTRICITYOutput/Electricity:        12 voltsGenerators:            Aqua Marine Kubota EA330-E (-NB1) with Leece-Neville 150-amp AlternatorGenerator Hours:        2200 approximatelySolar:                2-Kyocera KD215GX 215 watts w/Morningstar Tristar MPPT controllerShore Power:           Single 30-amp circuitBatteries:              Trojan T-145 6-volt Deep Cycle Batteries (quantity of 8)Battery Chargers:        Victron Energy MultiPlus II Inverter Charger 12VDC -
