Mooring 4800 (Robertson and Caine International Yachts)

I decided to take photos of our boat for the week. Our boat was a Mooring 4800 by Robertson and Caine International Yachts.

The beds were okay for two people. There were two drawers and a cabinet along with the side shelves.

There are also floor sections that can be lifted, some which need to be lifted more often than others. For example, the one immediately in this photo needed to be opened so that we could close the holding tanks when in a protected port.

On the starboard side we had  two cabins and the same on the port side. There are variants that have a master suite.

Each bathroom also has a toilet and shower. The shower was not that cramped. You have to use a sump pump in order to scavenge and remove the water.

The toilet on the other hand was pretty cramped. The toilet paper closed and retracted the paper.

Underneath the stairs was a window that also serves as an escape hatch in the event that the boat is capsized.

The saloon had a lot of cabinets and storage. There was plenty of storage under the floor as well as under the cushions.

We did not use air conditioning except on the first night. The boat interior could get a bit stuffy. Under way with the doors and windows open the breeze was delightful.

The kitchen is rather small and unfortunately had a lower amperage circuit breaker than everything else. There was also a gas range and oven.

We also had a communication section with our radio, microphone, and the head unit for the stereo. Fortunately the head unit was Bluetooth capable.

All power was routed through this switchboard, which also had the circuit breakers. It also had the controls for the onboard generator.

The front deck had an area that provides shade (at times) and has three benches and two fold out tables.

There are also very large storage bins up front. Two of which hold the two 103 gallon water tanks (206 gallons total) and the other houses the generator. The center panel has the anchor.

Unfortunately I never took a picture with the sail up.

There is an exterior pilot's cab. The cranks for the rigging are all manual.

There is navigation and heading / depth information provided, as well as speed. There is also autopilot as far as heading is concerned.

The panels also include engine information.

The back section had the largest and most usable table. We ate most meals here.

This area also acted as a staging area for diving and snorkeling activities.

We also had two motors. One we needed to short the starter solenoid to start, the other was leaking oil. Also our dingy motor died twice during our one week trip (we had it swapped for a new one, and the new one died).

Not the most luxurious boat but a decent place to spend a week sailing and cruising around the Bahamas.
