Dumbledore – Well-Equipped Cruising Vessel

Dumbledore is a well-equipped fiberglass cruiser designed for comfortable and economical cruising. A wave-piercing speed bulb helps provide a smooth ride in moderate seas, while bow and stern thrusters make docking and maneuvering easier. She cruises economically at approximately 7 knots.

Two helm stations provide flexibility in changing conditions, with excellent visibility from the flybridge and a protected lower helm inside the main cabin for foul-weather operation.

Recent electrical upgrades include four Super B 160Ah LiFePO4 batteries, two 425-watt solar panels, a Victron MPPT solar charge controller, and SmartShunt battery monitoring. These upgrades significantly reduce reliance on the onboard 5 kW generator.

Dinghy

An 8' Walker Bay inflatable dinghy with a 5 HP Honda four-stroke outboard is included. The dinghy is carried on a custom davit system that raises and lowers it by winch.

A 2021 survey is available. Since the survey, the vessel has received numerous electrical, solar, navigation, and equipment upgrades.

The onboard watermaker was previously used for washing and showering. A new membrane would be required before relying on it for drinking-quality water.
