Charter the "Martha R"
in the beautiful British Virgin Islands

Experience a charter on a 2007 Lagoon 420 Catamaran powered by twin Yanmar sail drives

The "Martha R", a greener sailing experience than other 420's

   Be one of the first to charter the "Martha R", an all new Lagoon 420 catamaran. What sets the Martha R apart
from other 420's, is her unique 110V AC power system away from the dock. The boat is equipped with a 4000 Watt Pure Sine Wave
Inverter that converts 72V DC from a battery bank into household 110V AC power. What this means to you, the charterer, is the
ability to run major appliances, such as the air conditioning, microwave, etc., without having to run the generator all the time to
power them. This is the only 42 footer in the Caribbean that can accomplish this feat. Depending on what the electrical draw is,
the Martha R can go from 4-7 hours before the generator will automatically come on for 1 hour to recharge the batteries. This
means that you can pick the time that is most convienent for you to run the generator, like when you are ashore. If you plan right,
you can go all night running the air without the generator coming on until morning. No noisy, smelly, generator running while you
are sleeping, and not only that, you can also get up early in the morning and fix your breakfast without waking others up with the
generator starting up, just to use the toaster or microwave.

   If you don't plan on sailing much, and will be mostly motoring around, or you need to run the air conditioning 24/7, then this or any
other 420 is probably not the boat for you. But on the other hand, when managed properly, the Martha R can be a very fuel efficient
boat, compared with other similar cats with a generator and air conditioning.
The air conditioning system is designed for night time use only, and is comprised of one 16,000 BTU unit with
3 cooling outlets: 1 in each hull and 1 in the salon area. In our use of the system, we were able to set the unit at 74 degrees, and it would
cycle on and off during the night, running on battery power, without needing to run the generator at all, until morning. Since there is only
1 cooling outlet to service each hull, berth doors need to be left ajar to aid with cool air circulation.

   The "Martha R" is a 4 cabin, 4 head and 4 shower layout, with four "island queen" berths that let you get out of bed from either
side without crawling over someone! All of the beds are the same size, so there is no need to quarrel over who sleeps where.
(see layout in photos)

    The Martha R is powered by twin 40 hp diesel sail drive units, one in each hull.

Free wireless WiFi now available with Lime Wireless Gateway!!

You can now access the internet from the comfort of the Martha R. Coverage is good in BVI waters, about double the speed of dial up, or 150-250 kbps.
