I could see myself in that! I could also see that on a trailer behind my old truck.

The South Steyne is for sale. I`m an unashamed admirer of this vessel, a former Manly Ferry which serviced the Sydney-Manly route for many years before a fire saw her retired, and into a series of refits, owners, and uses. Built in the UK, she was delivered by sea, including through the Suez Canal,to Sydney. I hope she finds an enthusiastic owner or consortium, perhaps the Sydney Maritime Museum will pick her up, but I doubt it.

I used to use a white noise generator with the diesel thrum of the Manly Ferry as a sleep aid.

South Steyne is a steamer, her steam engine was originally coal fired,later diesel fired. But I`m sure there are diesel gensets onboard.

Very nice restoration. Is the original Passagmaker? I recall there was a couple here who bought it after it had sunk and started a Go-Fund-Me to rebuild it.

 

[CharlieO.]

Yes, it is the same couple that posted here at the beginning of the refit.

This classic yacht, designed and built under the direction of the legendary Robert (Bob) Beebe, underwent a two year, complete overhaul, restoration and upgrade, finishing in 2023.

The hull, of Burmese teak, was found to be in good condition, requiring only stripping of old paint and recaulking.

The deck of mahogany plywood, had some areas of water intrusion where deck hardware was installed. Those areas were removed, repaired and then covered (the entire deck) with bi-axial fiberglass, epoxy and painted.

A new SS bowsprit was fabricated and installed along with all new SS stanchions.

A new teak swim platform and SS dingy davits were installed as well.

The rub rail and cap rail were replaced with new teak.

The Ford Lehman engine, one of the most reliable diesel engines of all time, was removed from the boat and completely overhauled by the owner, a Mercedes trained diesel mechanic and has just 300 hours since the rebuild.

The boat was rewired, 9 New batteries were added along with

4 solar panels and controller.

The plumbing system was renewed, including servicing all bronze seacocks, all new freshwater pumps and piping, including toilets, faucets and macerator pumps. A new hot water heater and a watermaker were installed.

The galley was completely redesigned and updated with new countertops. The cupboards and table tops were revarnished, walls painted and all new custom cushions and upholstery installed.

The refrigeration system was replaced with modern, 12V systems, and a newly restored, 3 burner, propane stove with oven installed.

Both the forward and aft cabin have been entirely renovated and painted. The forward cabin features a double bed, the aft cabin also has a double bed plus a newly installed desk and dedicated work space. New mattresses in both.

The sole throughout has been refinished, including the wheelhouse floor where the carpet was removed and replaced with beautiful teak stripping.

In short, Passagemaker is a classic boat, updated to modern standards, capable of giving the new owner years of safe, comfortable, happy sailing!
