Pulp Motor Yacht


 

 

A luxurious, medium-sized steel-hulled motor yacht, built to carry six passengers and a crew of six. The master suite has two beds, water closet and bath; aft there are two cabins with single beds, and another cabin with two beds, plus two more bathrooms. The master, engineer, cook, steward, and two sailors berth forward -- with a shower for their use. Not much laundering can be done on board -- normally, laundry is sent ashore. The funnel is mostly decorative, as is one of the cowl ventilators next to it.

 

While the vessel is technically capable of crossing the Atlantic Ocean (for example), the normal crew would be too small for safety.
