If you're reading this it's safe to assume you either have or want a BCC. For most of us the want cannot be translated to the have because of the cost. But here is a living, working BCC at a really affordable price.

MANDY has been lovingly cared for as well as thoroughly used for what she was designed for ... long distance cruising.

Number 32 of the 127 exquisitely designed and built BCC's, MANDY has had just three owners and has provided a home for each. Her interior is clad in beautiful raw timber, gleaned from a farm house far older than her.

Complete maintenance and trip logs are available along with documentation of almost every facet of MANDY's life.

Most recently she has been repowered, wired, plumbed and improved to take her proud owners from Southern California, through the Panama Canal to Columbia, the Central Caribbean and on to the East Coast of the U.S.

With her new engine, new solar panels, new electrics and batteries, new water tanks, new refrigerator, new Raymarine Chart plotter and radar and new Lyle Hess designed Montgomery 7' 11' hard dinghy she has truly fit the Pardey mantra of 'make your boat unstoppable'.

Where others have spent time looking for parts and mechanics Mandy has been on to the horizon.

MANDY was repowered in 2007 with an extremely clean installation of a Universal M-25XPB which turns a 15 1/2” feathering KiwiProp. Whilst similar to a Max Prop the KiwiProp has the advantage of being simple to maintain and adjust. The pitch can easily be reset whilst the boat is afloat. A new electrical system was installed in 2007 by San Diego electrical guru Shea Weston. Four Trojan AGM Gp. 24’s provide a 400 amp hour house bank, with an Optima Blue top as the starting battery. The Universal drives a 105 amp alternator (the factory 75 amp is the spare) all managed through an Ample Power combiner and regulator and monitored with a Link 10. Two Kyocera solar panels (85 watts and 65 watts) can be inclined correctly and run through a Blue Sky Solar boost regulator are a wonder of production. In her 4,500 mile cruise down the West Coast and through the canal MANDY has only once had to run her engine for charging purposes, and that includes six months of very cloudy tropical rainy season. Whilst you are enjoying a peaceful sundowner that great big generic white boat over there will have its crew in earplugs.
