In 1995 MacGregor produced a twelve page color brochure that shows our boat perfectly. We have a small supply should you want one just ask.
Sea Ya II has not been modified except that an upper bunk (about 7 feet by 2 feet) with lee cloth has been added in the Forward Stateroom to function as a food pantry or dry goods storage area. The existing forward lower bunk is still utilized.
There are accommodations for 8 people (10 actually if the two bunks in the engine compartment are included) however that certainly would be a full boat. Twice we invited five crew members to join us (Antigua Race Week in May of 2002 and for an offshore race out of Key West) which was great fun. Generally, we limit the number of guests to two to four people.
There are two heads utilizing Vacu Flush system by Sea Land Tech. There are three fresh water showers, one in each head and one on the stern steps.
The fresh water system is pressurized.
There are twelve opening ports with curtains and screens. These ports along with the main companion way entrance, a mid hatch and fore hatch ventilate the boat very well.
All cabin cushion inserts have been upgraded within the last two years.
Self bailing Anchor Locker about 8 feet long ahead of a watertight bulkhead. We upgraded the area for storage of anchor chain, spare anchor/rode, fenders, chafing gear and dock lines. When we are at sea nothing is stored on the deck. The anchor locker has a flat deck a foot or so above the hull bottom adding greater strength and security.
On the other side of the watertight bulkhead is the Forward Stateroom which has a large V berth, two seats, an upper and lower bunk, double hanging locker and private head. A large and secure hatch is located directly over the V berth. I¡¦m told that several Mac65 owners have installed a washer and dryer in the two seats area. Under the V Berth is: the Offshore Marine Laboratories Water Maker model 500 Agean measured at 23 gallons per hour and one of the twin Aqua Air Conditioners.
