Salthouse 52 | Port River Marine Services |
Sitting alongside the wharf, the 52 looks purposeful, with a clean, flowing profile and curved 8mm thick glass windscreens to round off its modern styling.
The hulls are hand-laid using vinylester resin in a female mould, with a core of 22mm kiln-dried, end-grain balsa and four, big, full-length composite stringers for rigidity. The balsa core creates a much stiffer boat with better noise and thermal insulation.
Carbonfibre is used in stress areas or where weight is a consideration (such as fly bridge and fore deck). Decks are fitted to a flange - glued, bolted and fibreglass taped. Hull and decks are then sprayed inside and out with two pot polyurethane paint to give an attractive, easy-to-maintain gloss appearance. Hulls are all built to Lloyd's certification.
Salthouse hulls are warped planing designs - relying on a fine entry curving back to a minimal six to eight degree dead rise aft, to maximise efficiency. This allows the boats to surge straight up onto the plane at 12-13 knots and stay there with minimal throttle action.
Stepping onto the boarding platform, two sliding doors on heavy plastic runners allow access to the aft cockpit, all single level with laid, teak decking.
A Salthouse signature feature - the spiral staircase - winds up to the flybridge on the port side. A moulded fridge is to starboard with an enclosed toilet/shower area, handy to the water recreation area forward of it.
Built for family cruising, the three-cabin layout optimises the space available within its 16'4" (4.98m) beam. Clever use of available space is noticeable throughout with offset bulkheads and shared spaces.
Stepping through the sliding door into the saloon, a full-sized domestic Fisher & Paykel stainless fridge nestles back into teak surrounds to starboard, and a full galley to port features two bench-top gas burners and two electric elements with a convection microwave oven below.
A Corian counter, backed with brushed stainless steel, separates the galley from the saloon proper but enables whoever's cooking to stay in contact with conversation around the big teak table in the saloon. The semi-circular seating around the table is in white leather upholstery, which, combined with cream vinyl bulkhead liner and deckhead trim, help create a bright and light ambience.
The oval seat/coffee table is a particularly clever feature. Inverting the leather-bound seat transforms it into a nifty teak coffee table. More sumptuous seating in white leather lines the starboard saloon side.
A short staircase (which can be raised on gas struts to access a washing machine/dryer combo) leads down to the accommodation. The master bedroom has a queen-size berth set against the watertight bulkhead forward, with ample hanging locker space on both sides and drawer stowage underneath.
Deck hatches pour natural light into the cabin and en suite facilities are shared with the two-bunk cabin to starboard. The generously-sized bathroom is accessible off the companionway and features a circular shower base and rotary perspex shower door with stainless steel fittings and highlights.
The door slides round easily to enclose the shower area, allowing maximum space within the shower and easy access, while keeping the water where it should be.
A creamy, café au lait suede finish covers the bulkheads in the sleeping areas and gives a soft, intimate feel. Another double cabin with island berth bunk and en suite circular shower and toilet is to port.
A large, flush hatch in the expansive cockpit deck leads down to the engine room. Alloy stairs lead down between two 1500-litre fuel tanks - both equipped with generous water traps. Stainless steel valves and fuel lines feed through primary filters on the forward bulkhead.
The vessel's pair of 660hp, Cummins QSM11 and Twin Disc transmissions, rest high on wood cored bearers. All round accessibility is good and Acoustop insulation is used to line the deckhead. The 13.5 kVa Onan generator, in soundproof box, is mounted athwart-ships forward of the motors.
The Cummins' two exhausts are suspended by webbing straps where they transit the aft bulkheads to reduce noise and vibration and they exit the hull underwater right aft.
Deep gutters drain any errant water from the engine room and lazarette hatch openings but inflatable seals are available to meet watertight survey requirements. The seals are inflated by using a dive bottle and controller located under the flybridge stairs. Another hatch right aft leads to a spacious lazarette which houses a 3600-litre per day Sea Recovery water maker, 150-litre holding tank, 2 x 500-litre fresh water tanks and hydraulic steering.
Back on deck, the spiral staircase to port leads through to the flybridge, offering outdoor entertaining par excellence. Seating, interrupted amidships by a drinks fridge, surrounds the forward perimeter of the area. The midships steering console is equipped with two swivel seats. Air can be ducted from the air-conditioning unit below to defrost the windscreen and clear screens aft can be removed to allow natural air circulation as necessary. All round visibility is excellent.
