- Entr'acte is a Nor Sea 27 sloop - also pictured is "Max" our silent crew.
|
|
- On Deck: Entr'acte carries 4 anchors, an inner forestay for hank on sails.
|
|
- Cockpit: The center cockpit is well protected from following seas. The grate raises to provide a sun deck and outdoor sleeping area when in warmer
clinates.
|
|
- Stern: The rail and boom gallows provide security at sea. This is Max our wind vane self-steering gear. Entr'acte also has an electronic autopilot for use in very light wind and when under power.
|
|
- Aft Cabin: The separate aft cabin offers privacy for the off watch. This
arrangement makes Entr'acte feel much large than 27 feet.
|
|
- Engine Room: - When the wind dies the Yan-Mar 20 hp diesel can move us along at six knots for 300 miles. It also powers a 125-amp alternator that supplies charging current to 260 amp/hrs of battery. Way in the back on the starboard side is a reverse osmosis water maker that converts salt water to fresh at the rate of 3 1/2 gal/hr.

- Navigation Station: Entr'acte has entered the electronic age. The navigation station consists of steering Compass, Hand bearing compass, GPS receiver, VHF/SSB/HAM radios,RDF, and CARD Radar detector,. We connect a Macintosh Laptop computer to the SSB radio and download weather maps while at sea. Yes, we still use the sextant and paper charts. We do not use Electronic charts.

|
- Dinghy: Our current dinghy is a Tinker Foldaway RIB. It is 9 ft long and when deflated folds up into a very small package which stows just behind the mast.
It also has a sailing Rig.
