MY Bethany finally got introduced to her natural home – the sea. She is not quite finished but what is left to be done is mainly finishing the interior and installing the deck rails.
MY Bethany – named after the first grandchild of Boboy and Gene Bangayan , is a 38 foot motor yacht, Bruce Roberts design.
It has the following hardware:
-
Seastar hydraulic steering system
-
Twin engine dual stations (lower deck and fly bridge)
-
2 x 185hp Deutz Marine inboard engines
-
Quick electric windlass and 16 kg. bruce anchor
-
7Kw Mase marine diesel generator
-
Coolmate marine air conditioner – seawater cooled
-
Raymarine Radar and GPS
-
Waeco Refrigeration
-
Rigid inflatable Westmarine dinghy
Electricals, instrumentation, navigation and indoor lights, wet exhaust system, pumps and plumbing, anchoring, exterior, deck and interior hardware, windows, Lewmar hatches and ventilation parts and supplies, and including the above (except engines), are all from USA and Canada. All others, including engines, alternator, batteries, propellers and shafts are either purchased or fabricated locally. Diesel and water tanks are also fabricated, each with a capacity of 200 gallons approximately.
The forward cabin has a queen sized bed, closets and shelves. The galley is fitted with a sink, a 2-burner stove and microwave. There is a separate toilet and a shower room. The spacious saloon also incorporates the lower helm position, settees on both sides with plenty of room underneath for storage. The aft section and fly bridge have seatings all around for outdoor entertainment and fishing. It is also equipped with swim n rinse shower head for quickly rinsing off after a swim in the ocean. Dinghy davits are on the fly bridge to keep the dinghy from obstructing the aft section of the lower level. Nothing is complete without a state-of-the-art stereo system to entertain and relax.
