Urchin Sailing Yacht is a 56 foot long pilot house monohull, designed with an immensely strong aluminium hull, with a lifting keel and rudder, to a very high specification, for the specific purpose of being able to venture into the high latitudes and ice. She is extremely well appointed, with three different central heating systems, all round views from the pilothouse, a very spacious galley and three separate cabins, each able to accommodate two people. She boasts a 150 litre per hour watermaker, a washing machine, microwave oven and an above average capacity for frozen foodstuffs. She is equipped with two very robust zodiacs each with their own outboard. The diesel tanks can carry 2100 litres of diesel, and the water tanks 1100 litres of water. The lifting keel and rudder provide opportunities to access very shallow anchorages, which offer many advantages, including the ability to anchor outside of the path of large moving ice in the high latitudes. She is a very comfortable and very secure vessel.
