TECHNICAL TOUR of Our Highly Modified Expedition Machine!

Anchor Locker and Trash Management

Lumi’s furling gear, made by Selden, provides easy sail handling without compromising performance. Proper maintenance ensures longevity and reliability even in challenging conditions.

Furling Gear

Lumi’s owners have chosen to leave some areas with bare aluminum, such as where welding was done for rigging additions. This practice avoids the potential for corrosion from trapped water and ensures structural integrity.

Diesel Stove and Components

In the bow, the anchor locker stores trash separately from living areas. The design allows for easy organization while keeping unpleasant smells contained.

Welded Components

The chimney for the diesel stove is located near the rear of the cabin, and lines for the centerboard control system pass through a pipe into the box. Lumi’s aluminum construction offers lightweight but strong components with a cosmetic trade-off in paint.

Shoreline Storage

In the bow, Lumi’s anchor locker is located forward of the cabin, separated from living areas to prevent unpleasant odors or sights. The chain’s extra weight in the bow does not affect the vessel’s balance.

Features and Accessibility

Forward of this area are red bags housing 600ft of shorelines, designed to securely tie Lumi to the shore. The bags’ deep but narrow shape and mesh bottom provide efficient storage without tangles or water retention.

Navigation and Power Systems

Behind the rear arch is an outboard engine, a landing net for fishing, the Cape Horn wind vane (currently not working), systems to hoist the dinghy and secondary anchor, and an additional outboard engine. This section also features a reserve steering system accessible with a single bolt.
