Overview
About this vessel
MENTOR is a round bilge steel schooner, the hull design is a copy of the Royal Navy's sea cadet training brigantine "TS Royalist". She was built to Lloyds A1 survey requirements with 4 main watertight bulkheads and a total of 6 watertight doors.
The vessel was built in Fremantle Western Australia by Hoffland Boatbuilders and was completed in time for chartering during the 1987 America s cup Challenge in Fremantle that year. Designed for chartering, she did so for five years including three years in the Whitsunday islands on the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland.
MENTOR moved into SE Asian waters some decades ago as home to her original owner and he has enjoyed life afloat for these past years but now sees the time to move to a smaller yacht. He hands the vessel to a new owner in constantly maintained condition, can help with all manner of technical information, indeed he has written manuals on all aspects of maintaining his yacht from refrigeration to removing the rudder.... In fact the vessel has also spent many years ashore here in Langkawi when the owner was away to work. The vessel is a truly well maintained vessel and deserves the attention of anyone seeking a charter yacht or expedition type vessel.
The accommodation is vast. The companionway lands you amidships in the saloon and galley area. Two tables and settees opposite each other for dining and the bar and freezer area to port complements the galley opposite.
Full forward is the sail bins and workshop, complete with a 1 metre lathe for metal turning, next is the pantry to port and the forward bathroom and then two twin cabins port and starboard.
Full aft are the two double staterooms port and starboard, moving forward two triple cabins and then the aft bathroom and laundry to port and a starboard double cabin opposite.
This totals 3 x Double Cabins, 2 x Triple Cabins, 2 x Twin Cabins and two bathrooms.
The yacht has good tank capacities... 8000 litres of fresh water, 4000 litres of fuel, a 200 litre grey water tank and a 300 litre black tank.
