Motor Yacht Sparkman Stephens 1969

This classic vessel, expertly designed by the renowned Sparkman & Stephens firm, was crafted by the legendary Minneford Yacht Yard in City Island, NY, to serve as a tender for the famous 'Intrepid' during its Americas Cup campaigns. Originally named 'Spartan,' this unique boat was derived from the 'Escort' design, elongated specifically for its purpose. It's said that parts of this vessel were constructed from the leftover materials from 'Intrepid's' build. In 2015, it underwent a comprehensive repower and refit by Lyman Morse, incorporating modern systems for enhanced comfort and outfitted with reliable Yanmar engines. 'Escort' is equally suited for leisurely jaunts between yacht clubs and seaworthy enough for coastal cruising. **Propulsion:** - Twin Yanmar 6LY2X1 engines (approximately 800 hours) - Dripless stuffing box - Bronze 3-bladed props **Electrical:** - Custom solar array on pilot house overhead - Victron Solarsmart MPPT 100 charger - 30 amp shore power inlet - Auto charging relay between engine start and house banks **Navigation:** - Simrad touchscreen chart plotter with mirroring function to smaller Simrad display - B&G AIS/GPS - Simrad depth/multi readout - Ritchie Compass - Simrad VHF **Domestic Amenities:** - Isotemp water heater - Seafrost deep freeze - Galley refrigerator - Caribbean LPG stove/oven - Webasto Thermopro 90 diesel heater with blowers in aft cabin, forward cabin, and pilot house - Marine head **Ground Tackle:** - Muir DC windlass with Bonfiglioli electric motor - Stainless chain - Bronze plow anchor - Aluminum collapsible Fortress anchor in a custom bright-teak deck box **Tankage:** - Forward 70-gallon fuel tank with transfer pump to port and starboard - 100-gallon fuel tanks with inline fuel scrubber - Port and Starboard 50-gallon potable water tanks - 16-gallon holding tank with macerator for overboard discharge and deck pump-out fitting.
