Sailing / Passage Making

Tyrian was specifically designed for safe and easy handling in challenging weather both inshore and offshore. Her wide sidedecks make mast access straightforward, even in heavy weather circumstances. Her standing rigging was ‘over engineered’, designed to withstand the toughest of conditions with much redundant capacity built in. This standing rigging was completely renewed in 2024 by FKG Marine, St Maarten.

Tyrian is a cutter rigged ketch which allows for a very wide range of sail plan options. There is a demountable bow sprit and whisker pole for downwind sails (spinnaker on board), a furler drum on the forestay (with yankee and genoa no. 3 sails to suit), an inner forestay for hank-on sails (with 2 different stay sail sizes on board), a main sail (3 reefs), a mizzen sail, a mizzen stay sail and a storm jib with its own dedicated halyard and hoisting system. With 8 tons of ballast and a long keel, she is extremely sea kindly and comfortable both under sail and at anchor.

For motoring, she has a 4 blade 24 inch Maxi prop feathering propeller which is powered by a low revolution 80hp Ford New Holland engine (supplied and installed by Lancing Marine). She has a hydrovane fitted for sailing without the need for power. This provides a secondary rudder option too. She also has a B&G T3 Ram autopilot fitted complete with NEC 3 autopilot computer, rudder feedback system (installed 2023).

At Anchor

Tyrian benefits from a very robust anchoring system designed for serious hold in heavy weather. She has approx. 80M of 13mm (1/2 inch) anchor chain and 100M of heavy duty warp on board for deep water anchoring. A 40kg Rocna anchor (installed 2023) is secured to the chain by way of a Mantis swivel shackle and can be effortlessly deployed by using the 2300w (24V) Lofrans Titan winch (installed 2023).

Live Aboard

Tyrian benefits from 50mm foam insulation throughout keeping her cool in hot climates and cosy in cold climates. She has a Dickenson Lofoten diesel stove (installed 2023) as her primary heating source with an independent fuel tank (which can be refuelled automatically from the main tank).

She has 6 berths in total (2 singles in aft cabin, 1 double in fore cabin and 2 singles in saloon). All have lee boards and lee clothes installed. All below deck areas have excellent head room (the boat was designed for a man of 6’4” to be able to walk through freely). The interior is fitted out in ash wood which provides a high quality, light and airy finish.

The saloon is spacious and homely with the central table permitting the sitting of 12 people maximum. There are plenty of deep storage lockers and wall cabinet storage area built in too. The navigation table has two seats allowing it to be used as a ‘break out’ area for eating etc when need be.

All cabins benefit from warm LED lighting for general use and separate red lighting system for use in nighttime passage making. The galley is well appointed and organized for aiding in preparation of meals on passage with a fridge/freezer unit (refrigerator installed 2023, 4” insulation all round), double sink unit, hot/cold water taps, a saltwater pump and plenty of storage space.

The heads are utilitarian in design, allowing for easy access to plumbing work for ease of maintenance on passage. Heads pumps are manual and not reliant on battery system. Hot/cold taps to sink with shower head extension. Outgoing effluent can be fed directly out to sea or via black water tank with macerator. Both fore and aft cabins are private areas and benefit from large capacity storage lockers built in.
