2000 Aleutian 70

SummaryGlobal Surveyor is a fully certified Ocean Going Steel Constructed Charter Vessel. The Aleutian 70 was designed to sail safely, comfortably, and without worry to all parts of the globe She is very strongly built, which gives a tremendous feeling of security and confidence. The size, displacement, and design give masses of room aboard, and a steady comfortable motion. She can make fast passages and requires only a modest effort to sail. This is a pleasure cruise, and while the vessel will be sailed to a high standard of seamanship, there will be the minimum of shouting, rushing about, and being soaked by icy waters. This is boat for someone who wants to go extreme latitudes in ice or North West passage with enough bunks to do it commercial and that's hard to find. Currently category 0 commercial registration under EU Czech Flag with 4 years remaining (recoded 2025) Built by Graham Lacelles on Isle of White and design approved by MCA for category 0 Global Surveyor was designed in conjunction with a naval architect, and built with the help of two welders. It was constructed from 20 tonnes of steel piece parts. All were cut to +- 1mm which ensured easy, quick, accurate and trouble free construction to a high standard. For a safe, comfortable and fast passage maker, with the ability to routinely and with peace of mind sail to all parts of the globe from the tropics to the edge of pack ice. Capable of being easily sailed by a crew of two, while having berths for a potential twelve.. To have four equal status double cabins for possible charter. To have an excellent load carrying capability (5 tonnes) to enable the mounting of diving and scientific expeditions. Without any compromise to safety, to produce a vessel that is easy and economical both to build and run. To produce a vessel with its own distinct ethos. Something that equates to a ‘working vessel’, a ‘little ship’ that can earn its keep, rather than just another pleasure yacht. She has Water tight bulkheads x 7 Reinforced bow for working through ice, designed to withstand collision with iceberg or container. Yacht comes with all original plans and drawings. Safety, Comfort, and speed, generally increase with size. 20m was chosen as the largest that could be easily handled by a crew of two while providing enough room t o sleep a possible 14 and provides exceptional comfort with lesser numbers. The deck length was kept just below 20m to minimise possible regulatory impacts. Maximised to increase internal space, reduce the entry and exit angle of the hull and to give the greatest sailing speed. A moderate beam is utilised to reduce resistance especially to windward and minimise the broaching tendencies of wider hulls. ( Coincidentally 5m is also the maximum that is generally road transportable in the UK ) The waterline beam is maximised to give good initial stability and load carrying without increasing deck weight. This also gives a massive amount of usable room down to sole
