Overview
About this vessel
The Dark Side, with her downeast design and Claret hull, is stunning. She has had the very best care, and is offered for sale by very knowledgeable owners who spared no expense making sure she is the best she can be.
Her Zeus pod drive system allows ease of operation and increased efficiency, along with a beautifully quiet ride.
Her galley is down, just across from the owner's stateroom and is a great place for the cook. Loads of counterspace and storage allow easy entertaining and gourmet meals.
The owner's stateroom is amidships, and takes advantage of the widest beam of the boat. It allows full walkaround area of the bed, lots of storage, and is absolutely gorgeous, thanks to the Shoji style design.
The guest stateroom is forward and is well separated from the owner's stateroom. Both staterooms have a private head and shower.
The main salon is entered from the large cockpit. It is light and bright, with 360 degree views and even has a large skylight for star gazing. The outside areas are great for entertaining and relaxing.
When entering from the spacious cockpit, you enter the light and bright salon. To starboard is a settee that accommodates 4 people and a sliding settee opposite that seats 2. Dinner for 6 is no problem! Opposite the Stidd helm seats is an "L" shaped settee that is raised, allowing 3 people comfortable, raised seating.
The helm, with its double Stidd seats, is comfortable for long passages and affords easily seen gauges. There is also a door outboard of the helm area which allows quick access to the side deck during docking.
Down a few steps and to port is the galley, and opposite is the owner's cabin with private head and shower. Forward through a passageway is the guest cabin with private head and shower.
The really interesting part of this overall design is the living space/workroom that is forward of the engine room. It is accessed by sliding the port settee in the salon forward, revealing a stairway to this area. There is a bed, for crew, if you like, and work space. Very unique!
The galley is midships, down several steps and to port. It is very light and bright, with great counter space. There is a large fixed deadlight in hull over galley counter and an opening stainless steel portlight over galley.
The placement of the Master stateroom makes perfect sense. Being amidships, the motion of the boat is much more subdued, lending to a more restful area. The cherry interior is particularly inviting and warm. The Dark Side is fully climatized with reverse cycle heat and air to keep you comfortable.
The hull was repainted with Claret Red Awlgrip in 2020 and is stunning. The varnish was completely stripped and finished with multiple coats of Awlwood. In September 2024 the toe rail, cockpit table and eyebrow were all stripped and finished with Awlwood gloss.
She has always been cared for by an excellent marina where she is docked. There are inspections performed when she is being commissioned and decommissioned. Battery checks and oil samples are done. During one of these inspections in 2023, leaks around the shaft seals were discovered. The gear cases were torn down, prop shaft hubs removed and she was given new shafts, and completely serviced. She has been monitored since and all is well. Later in 2023, due to a possible lightning strike a distance away, she had an auto pilot module, CCM module and J Box replacement. Again, she was sea trialed, thoroughly tested and used—and works perfectly.
She is a boat that sits beautifully on her lines, and will draw many admiring glances.
