Description
LADY CHEBUCTO is a unique offering. She was built for the Canadian government as a fisheries patrol vessel with a duty range that included the Arctic Circle. She remained in active service through 1998. A significant refit was completed in 1988 which addressed every area of the vessel excepting the Fairbanks Morse main engines, which were later overhauled in 1997. During the 1988 refit, the deckhouse and superstructure were removed and replaced, the entire vessel was rewired and three new Cat generators were installed, all asbestos was removed and all coatings were replaced upon clean steel.



She would serve very well as a research vessel with few, if any modifications.



As a "shadow" or support vessel, LADY CHEBUCTO may require some deck modifications to create additional helicopter and/or small yacht storage space.



She is a very suitable candidate for yacht conversion. Preliminary conversion studies were conducted on site by Tom Fexas Associates with the conclusion that the current stability profile would support a much larger superstructure. In addition, it is expected that the propulsion system is sufficiently reliable to provide decades of servicce. The electrical and generator system was replaced in 1988 and offers appropriate reserve capacity for a conversion scenario.




Of specific importance is the vessel's speed capability: in keeping with her original design brief, she was charged with enforcement of fisheries regulations. Her logs note 550 successful interdictions. She has operated at sustained speeds of 17.5 knots while still maintaining suitable reserve power.



Maintenance currently underway includes the painting of decks and deckhouse. Vessel was last dry-docked in Spring of 2008, bottom coatings were renewed. Her owner currently lives aboard.

Accommodations
LADY CHEBUCTO is currently outfitted with sixteen single cabins and three double cabins, six of which include ensuite head and shower. Additional spaces include a gymnasium, radio room, laundry room, ship�s office, engineer�s office, crew mess, dining saloon, machine shop, pump room and recreation room. Storage spaces are generous and include bosun�s store, forepeak, paint store, galley store and engine spares locker.




The galley was replaced in 1987: all surfaces are clad with stainless, all appliances are of commercial grade and are also finished in stainless. Freezers and coolers are walk-in size. Separate bakery / pantry is also finished in stainless.



Cabin furnishings are in Formica, soles are vinyl tile and cabin bulkheads are fire-resistant SIP�s. Some passageways and common spaces have been upgraded with ceramic flooring. It is important to note that the entire deck structure was removed and replaced during the refit of 1987/88 with the result that galley and accommodation spaces have only been in service since 1989.

Maintenance / Refits
LADY CHEBUCTO was built to Canadian Shipping Act (C.S.A.) standards, which are easily equivalent to those of Lloyds. Annual inspections were conducted by Ship Safety Branch of Transport Canada with the specification that vessel condition must meet or exceed CSA standards.



The comprehensive 1987/88 refit was performed in Ontario, Canada. The vessel was stripped down to hull and engines, all asbestos was scrupulously removed and the following replaced:



Aluminum deckhouse and superstructure replaced entirely.

Comprehensive re-wiring

Installation of Siemens power management control panels with three Caterpillar 215KW generators

Engine controls replaced to four stations with Prime Moving Controls

All piping and valves replaced, new sea chests

Stainless galley installed with walk-in cooler and freezer

All accommodations redesigned and replaced

All tankage cleaned, dried and recoated as needed.



Cost of this overhaul was in excess of $6,000,000.


Brokers Comments
Lady Chebucto is in commission, her owner lives aboard and observes a conscientious maintenance program. She is a unique offering for a number of reasons:

Proven operation in ice-prone, Arctic waters

Exceptional range at speed

Minimal hours on Fairbanks Morse main engines SMOH, engines still in production

Recent drydock period for Cathelco 2000 antifoul and corrosion protection system

Asbestos free


Comprehensive spares inventory valued above $200,000.

Ship's plans and drawings organized, stored and available



LADY CHEBUCTO is immediately deployable as a patrol or research vessel.



As a conversion candidate into an expedition style yacht, she offers a handsome hull form with intact, high-value propulsion and generation plants.


Inquiries and offers encouraged.
