History & Additional Information
Vreyhey was likely originally an open hull sailing vessel with lee boards and was converted to her current state around the 1980s in the Netherlands. It is unknown how or when the vessel traveled from the Netherland to Northern California. In 2021 she was hauled out at Bayside Boat works in Sausalito where she had her keel cooler replaced and hull stripped and repainted below the waterline. Additional top side paint was also applied up to the gunnels. Later in 2021 her electrical system was updated, replacing breaker and fuse panels, installing lithium batteries and a solar system.

Hull/Structure
Below the gunnels is mostly original to the vessel and is riveted iron plate. She has a flat bottom with no keel other than the "log splitter" on the front and two thin metal strips where the hull rises. Along the bottom of the hull there is a plate that appears to have been added later in the boat's life.The house and structure above the gunnels is welded steel and not original to the boat and likely was added when along with the interior and current engine in the Netherlands, likely in the late 1980s.The vessel has six "Divers Dream" 6"x12"x1" for cathodic protection for the hull. One located each side aft of the bow flare, forward of the stern taper, and alongside the shaft.

Plumbing
Two ~25 gal freshwater tanks are located under the main berth and can be filled via a deck port on the bow. Both tanks supply a pump and accumulator behind the tanks to port, and which distributes to the head, galley, and water heater via brazed copper pipe. Water was heated with a propane heater located in the head. Two ~40 gal waste water tanks are located forward of the freshwater tanks under the main berth. All utilities discharge into the starboard tank.An electric diaphragm pump located between the waste water tanks can be used for discharge to a 2" cam-lock deck connection on the bow or to a thru hull outboard of the head. A 2" hose can be connected to the deck fitting to discharge waste water if an appropriate connection is available, however the pump must still be controlled manually.

Fuel
One 120L (31.7 gals) fuel tank is located on the port side of the engine room with a sight glass as means to indicate level. The fuel manifold is located beneath the floorboards and controls fuel to the engine and heater.

Engine
The vessel is powered by a Mercedes OM617 five cylinder naturally aspirated diesel engine. The exhaust manifold was replaced with wet type, likely when the engine was installed. Engine cooling is provided by a keel cooler external to the hull along the starboard board with both inlet and outlet on the same side of the ER. The keel cooler was replaced in 2021 and is consists of two 18 foot length of 2" schedule 80 steel pipe with a U-fitting connecting the forward ends with small connecting tabs along the length. Engine oil is cooled by a inline cooler on the return of the keel cooler and a hand operated pump on the aft of the engine can be used to remove oil from the engine. The transmission is a Hurth HBW250 and the stern tube is a grease packed steel tube type with packing glands.

Bow Thruster
The vessel has a "Side Power" 12v bow thruster located in a tube in the "log splitter" with the head of the unit just forward of the waste water tanks under the bow locker and is powered by the lithium house batteries with heavy gauge cables run beneath the center of the cabin. The controller is a push-button type on the helm and the bow thruster can be isolated with a disconnect located by the main bus bar in the engine room.

Electrical
Batteries The main house batteries are two "Battleborn" 220ah 12v Lithium (LiFePO4) in parallel that were installed in January 2023.The engine start battery is a 12v Lead Acid Battery that was replaced in 2022 and is maintained with a trickle charge from the inverter/charger. A selector on the starboard bulkhead above the batteries is used to select the start battery. Inverter/Charger The Victron Multiplus 3kVA inverter/charger can select between using battery or shore power seamlessly to provide AC services and has advanced control functions to connect to shore power if a specified load is exceeded or battery charge falls to low. Solar Two Canadian Solar 340W solar panels are installed on the roof of the wheel house and are connected to a Victron MPPT Solar Charger providing power to the house batteries. This system is capable of providing up to 5kWh during the summer.
