Engine
The engine is a three cylinder 20 HP Volvo 2020 marine diesel installed in
the Summer of 2000. This is mounted below
the bridge deck/cockpit sole. The engine drives a three bladed fixed propeller via conventional flexible shafting and a
Hurth reduction gearbox. Full
engine control (single lever) is provided from the steering position.
The fuel tank is mild steel and has a capacity of approximately 25
gallons. This is placed aft of the engine, just below the cockpit sole, and uses gravity feed via copper
fuel lines.
The engine has a dedicated starting battery which is and also has a 60 Amp-hour
alternator. The house supply is provided by two independent 12 V batteries
which are charged via the engine alternator. Isolating switches are fitted
as is a Volvo split charge relay.
Rigging
The mast is deck stepped with a keel mounted support below decks. The
mast, boom and spinnaker pole are of anodized aluminum and the standing rigging
is made of 7 mm stainless steel wire.
The jib is roller furling and the mainsail fitted for slab reefing. The standard
sails include a half battened main, 156% roller reefing genoa, 100% (working) jib,
storm trysail, and spinnaker.
Sergeant Pepper has a removable
inner forestay which is taken from just below the masthead to a point on the
stemhead fitting. Fitted in 2001, this enables her to carry a proper working jib
or storm jib in heavy weather, with the roller reefed genoa firmly secured. The
forestay is tension with a SeaSure Hyfield lever as used by the Royal Navy for
securing large life raft canisters.
Deck
Twin bow rollers lead off a dedicated stowage compartment for the
anchors. A stainless steel Sampson post also serves as a hawse pipe.
Fitted throughout with lifelines and leading aft to a stainless steel pushpit,
the deck is made safer still through the provision of deep scuppers and
stainless steel jack lines.
On Sergeant Pepper, the ground tackle is as follows:
Main anchor:
25 # CQR + 175' x 5/16 chain.
Storm Anchor:
35 # Fisherman + 60' x 3/8" chain + 150' x 3/4" braid.
Spare Anchor / Kedge:
20 # Danforth + 60' x 3/8" chain + 150' x 3/4" braid.
All lines are lead aft fairly to two single speed winches and the sheets to two
dual speed self tailing Harken 44ST winches. The lines are not interfered with when the
heavy duty spray hood is fitted. The deck has a moulded -in non-skid
surface and has several teak grab rails for safety. The cockpit has one of
the two Henderson manual bilge pumps ready for
use, the other being located within a locker in the cabin.
Steering is via a laminated wood tiller, supplemented by a Raymarine Autohelm 4000+ control for
use under power.
