Specifications
Ocean 80 “Arrow of Ayr” is a seaworthy schooner with comfortable living space and functional equipment.
The Ocean 80 "Arrow of Ayr" is a 24.21-meter sailing schooner, built in 1995 by the renowned Aquastar shipyard on Guernsey. The design comes from well-known yacht designer Doug Peterson, celebrated for his seaworthy and performance-oriented designs. This two-masted vessel combines classic lines with a functional layout, making it suitable for long ocean voyages, charters, or comfortable onboard living.
With a beam of 6.12 meters and a draft of 2.49 meters, the Ocean 80 offers a stable and spacious platform for both sailing and living aboard. The hull is made of polyester (fiberglass), contributing to relatively low maintenance and a long lifespan. It features a V-shaped bottom, which ensures good seakeeping abilities, especially in rough conditions.
Layout and Accommodation
The "Arrow of Ayr" features a spacious accommodation layout with a total of 13 berths, divided over 6 to 7 cabins. There are four guest cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom with toilet and shower. Additionally, there are three crew cabins, making the schooner suitable for professional use, such as crewed charters.
The living areas are equipped with air conditioning, ensuring comfort in warmer climates. The galley includes a refrigerator, freezer, oven, microwave, and stove, allowing for full meal preparation. Hot water is provided via an integrated system.
The saloon offers ample seating, suitable for relaxation or shared meals. Thanks to Starlink internet, there is a stable connection even at sea, enhancing onboard comfort and functionality.
Engine and Technical Equipment
Propulsion is provided by a Ford Mermaid Manta diesel engine with 170 HP. The engine has electric start and only 10 operating hours since its last overhaul or replacement. Cruising speed is about 11 km/h, with a top speed of around 16 km/h. The fuel tank holds 2,300 liters, giving the yacht a considerable range.
For power supply, the "Arrow of Ayr" is equipped with a 21 kW Phasor generator, six batteries, a battery charger, alternator, inverter, and shore power connection. The electrical system operates on 110V, 220V, and 24V, offering flexibility for various devices and systems.
Rig and Sail Plan
The schooner has two aluminum masts and a sail plan of four sails: mainsail, staysail, genoa, and an additional headsail. The headsail features a roller furling system for easier reefing and hoisting. The total sail area is approximately 250 m² (2,687 ft²), providing good performance even in lighter winds.
Steering is done via a tiller, with the helm position located outside on the aft deck. The rudder is single. The vessel has several electric winches, though two switches require replacement. The anchor windlass is also electrically operated, with two anchors on chain. The windlass switch and anchor locker seal both need replacement.
Navigation and Safety
Navigation equipment includes an autopilot, AIS, GPS, chart plotter, depth sounder, and compass, enabling safe and efficient navigation even in open waters.
For safety, the "Arrow of Ayr" carries a life raft, life buoy, electric bilge pump, and self-draining cockpit. Additional bilge pumps are recommended for increased safety. The yacht meets MCA (Maritime and Coastguard Agency) standards, making it suitable for professional or charter operations under the British flag.
Deck Equipment and Tender
The deck is fitted with a bimini and sprayhood for protection against sun and rain. Outside there are comfortable seat cushions, a cockpit table, bow and stern seats, fenders and lines, a swim ladder, and a bathing platform. The guardrail enhances safety on deck.
A 3.8-meter tender, only two years old, is included, equipped with a 30 HP Mariner outboard engine. This makes it easy to go ashore when at anchor or for short trips to the coast.
Maintenance and Condition
The "Arrow of Ayr" was last hauled out in 2023 for maintenance, including antifouling treatment. Known points of attention include electrical upgrades, replacement of a hatch in a guest cabin, paint and varnish work on the stern, and scratches on the starboard side. Some electrical components need attention, such as winch switches and the anchor windlass control.
No signs of osmosis have been detected. The yacht is registered under the British flag with registration number 189938. VAT is unpaid, which may be relevant for import or sale within the EU.
Use and Sailing Area
The current owner has used the yacht for pleasure sailing at sea. Sailing performance is rated positively, particularly during Caribbean voyages, such as around Antigua. The vessel is designed for ocean passages, offering comfort and autonomy for extended stays onboard.
Conclusion
The Ocean 80 "Arrow of Ayr" is a spacious and functional sailing schooner with classic looks and a practical layout. With its combination of comfortable living areas, comprehensive technical equipment, and seaworthy characteristics, this yacht is well-suited for long voyages, charters, or as a liveaboard. While there are some technical and cosmetic points to address, it offers a solid base for further customization or professional use. The British registration and MCA compliance also make it attractive for commercial operation.
