True Love

The first owners were an experienced cruising couple who owned several sailboats and purchased two Grand Banks trawlers before deciding to order one final yacht that would satisfy their desires for the ideal cruising boat.  It had to be appealing, practical and above all, easy to operate and maintain.   They studied the trawler models marketed by the leading yacht builders but could not find anything suitable.  They came to the realization that a stock boat would not work.  They were in the fortunate position to afford a custom new build which ended up being their best solution.  They engaged renowned naval architect, Gregory Marshall, to work out the profile and layout that they wanted.  With designs completed, they interviewed several builders in Canada (their home country) before selecting Park Isle Marine in British Columbia for construction. 

For the size and performance they were looking for, it was determined that aluminum alloy construction would give them the strength and weight they needed. Their boat savvy and marine trade experienced son was hired as project manager to oversee his parents’ ambitious goal.  A very positive collaborative effort was commenced in 2004.  

Every aspect of the boat was thoroughly researched with the goal of achieving their “perfect floating home”. The design was enhanced by creating a bill of materials that specified the best available, industry leading equipment. The launch was a huge success, a beautiful build completed with compliments and congratulations all around. Then the vessel was shipped to Florida for test trips and a Bahamas cruise.  Unfortunately, one aspect was a huge disappointment.  The original concept specified a diesel electric propulsion package which, unfortunately, was never able to meet the performance promises.

The final solution after many trial runs and conferences was to start over.  Two Scania engines (branded Yanmar) were installed by Deltaville Boatyard in Virginia.  The propulsion change meant a two-year delay in their ability to go out cruising and even though the build year is listed as 2005, the owners were not able to enjoy True Love (originally called Retired Sailor III) until 2010.  After several years of very enjoyable cruising, they were satisfied and had accomplished their objectives successfully. With time catching up, they completed their boating adventures and decided to sell their beloved boat.  She was listed for sale for three and a half million dollars in 2015. 

The owners of Deltaville Boatyard were her custodians and were also granted cruising privileges, a win/win situation for remote ownership and ultimately an arrangement was made to transfer possession to the people who knew this boat the best. 

Hours reported in December 2022 are:

Port main                    = 3,198

Starboard main           = 3,198

30 kW Generator        = 3,786

12 kW Generator        = 5,999

True Love is best summarized in one word “innovative”. She boasts a collection of best-in-class features and equipment.  A comprehensive list of these selections is included here to help you understand the thought and attention to detail that went into this project.  Reading through this write up will acquaint you with the thinking and detail, along with the time and effort that defined this build.  However, nothing will tell her story better than actually getting aboard to see for yourself.

MAIN DECK

The large swim platform aft serves as the most convenient access from floating dock and by tender. You can also board the main deck (double walk around) of True Love using the Marquipt removable stairway through four gates in the side decks. 

SWIM PLATFORM

A great first impression!  You will appreciate her dock-sized swim platform for easy boarding.  You can adjust the safety rail and detachable swim ladder. The large, hinged storage lockers are conveniently installed outboard in the transom where they secure fresh water hoses, shore power and assorted miscellaneous gear. The centerline promenade stairwell is wide with large steps that easily transition to the aft deck cockpit.  The stairwell includes a hot and cold freshwater hand shower and has two opening port lights for the aft stateroom.

There are portable chairs and tables for relaxing as well as storage locker. There is a sink, ice maker and refrigerator as well as a sidebar beverage dispensing system. A safety gate is located at the top of the stairwell to fence in the cockpit and swings open for access to the swim platform.  You can enter the saloon through the double French doors or go forward along either side deck.  There are two boarding doors aft and moving along the side you will see engine room ventilation grills and fuel fill gauges.

The anchor deck is a raised stage with the windlass and chain lockers.  The dual anchor well is angled forward to drain the mess from anchor wash down. There are two anchors ready to deploy with chain stoppers and cleats. The large deep chain lockers have a separate shelf aft for the Glendinning shore power retrievers and fresh water hoses. There are rollers and cleats for dock lines as well.   Along the side decks are fender storage racks, cleats and freeing ports.  The sole is durable Marine 2000 non-slip.  Aft, below the reverse raked windows is a huge, hinged storage container for stowing lines and shore power attachments.

There are large opening windows, and the beautiful cherry wood is accented appropriately with warm colored ultra-suede wall covering. The cork flooring adds a practical and decorative touch that also has sound insulation advantages. The saloon was designed for both lounging and dining with a generous gathering area featuring a comfortable upholstered couch and matching arm chairs which are dogged down. There is an innovative high low coffee/dining table which can seat eight. An entertainment center with flat screen television is located in the aft starboard cabinetry with controls for the upper and main deck speakers.

You enter through a Diamond Sea Glaze door with viewing window. The engine room is easy to move around in and has railing inboard of the engines for hand support. The sure-footed flooring locks in place. The centerline walk way enables instant access forward to the stabilizers and watermaker.  The two generators are installed aft.  There are three fuel tanks, two outboard and one beneath the sole. Aft is an electrical panel with breakers and spare fuses. Each raw water system has a separate through hull for intake. A unique discharge water sea chest returns overboard. The Delta T ventilation system moves a massive amount of air.

UPPER DECK 

 

FLYBRIDGE

The flybridge stairs from the main deck level below lead to a sliding door with screen, which secures the interior living areas from the upper deck. This top deck is all on one level with the area forward of the mast enclosed with clear Lexan panels. The side panels are mounted on separate tracks allowing them to be opened independently or they can be removed and stored in vinyl bags. This area has proven to be the most popular area of the boat, whether underway or at anchor and can be temperature controlled. Centered forward is the helm station which has all the necessary nav /com electronics easily reached from the two-seater Stidd helm bench. Below the console is storage space for life jackets etc. and there is a movable chart box on top. The crew enjoys the forward-facing seating port and starboard. For meals there is a U-shaped seating area with a drop-leaf table. The aluminum hardtop has opening hatches giving extra lighting and ventilation. The flybridge and boat deck are divided by the mast which has a clever lowering apparatus for powering under low bridges and easy access to the mast head electronics. One of the highlights is the built-in dumbwaiter from the galley which allows the easy delivery of food and drinks between levels. 

The area between the flybridge and boat deck is designed as open space for sunning, exercising or just relaxing. There are legacy bike mounts (no bicycles included). Plasteak flooring provides a finished and practical surface.

The boat deck stores the Apex 15’ RIB mounted athwartships and the Steelhead crane, which can launch off the stern or either side.
