​​MYU​ is not your average “marina queen.”  This purpose built yacht will appeal to those who wish to explore the world in great comfort and safety in an understated, yet elegant, classic style.

Formerly ASHA, MA MU VI and HOPE, this 1992, Palmer Johnson 90 footer is the expression of what it is to live the exciting life exploring all parts of the world-wherever you may wish to go.

MYU sleeps six owners and guests in three immaculate staterooms, plus four in crew in two cabins.

Following is an in-depth spec sheet of everything this yacht has to offer, a description of what is right about a properly outfitted vessel.  MYU underwent a very extensive mechanical/systems refit at Front Street Shipyard during the winter of 2015.  Already a proven transcontinental Expedition yacht, she was made even better and safer with additional redundancy added to every critical system.

WILL ACCEPT CLEAN TRADES!

Cockpit/Lazarette/Swim Platform and Aft Deck:

All the way aft is a small cockpit with a sink and fish cleaning station on the port side (drain added during 2015 refit) with drawers for tackle underneath. On the starboard side of the cockpit there are (2) 100‐amp, 3-phase electrical inlets. On top of and at the center of the after bulkhead there is a SS mounting pin for the manual passerelle. To starboard is a transom door which leads from the cockpit down to the integral swim platform. The swim platform has (2) SS bollards and (2) Maxwell stern warping winches outboard to port and starboard, a folding SS swim ladder and a freshwater handheld shower. Both the swim platform and cockpit have teak decking. In the lazarette under the cockpit there is a backup hydraulic pump for the steering system, new Side Power stern thruster, spare 250lb. Kedge anchor with about 50’ chain, and miscellaneous spare parts.

A ladder leads from midships of the after bulkhead of the cockpit to the aft deck above. The aft deck has removable isinglass curtains, teak decking, and a stairway with teak steps to the boat deck above. On the port side of the aft deck are a built‐in, L shaped settee and small coffee table. To starboard is a varnished round dining table with matching chairs/seating for up to six. 

Main Salon
Sliding glass doors lead from the aft deck to the Main Salon. (Doors can be made Opaque electronically if one wants privacy when docked “stern to”). Paneling in the salon and throughout the yacht is Cherry. The carpeting here is new beige and white flecked. Outboard on both sides of the salon are three large thermal pane windows which give this area a very open feel and provides people sitting or standing the ability to enjoy panoramic views. (Hunter Douglas \"Duette\" blinds for the windows here as well as for other windows and ports throughout the boat). At the port end of the salon, just forward of doorway from the aft deck is a cherry wood bar with blue/grey granite bar top.

On both sides of the salon are built in cherry cabinets. Opposite the settee, starboard side, is a retractable 54” flat screen T.V. with storage cabinets underneath. Forward of this, at the starboard end of the salon, is a built‐in desk/computer station with a chair. Lighting in the salon consists of:

Master Stateroom
Varnished teak with nonskid steps lead down from the starboard aft corner of the salon to the private, full beam master stateroom below. (Steps here, as well as well as from the salon to the galley and from the pilothouse to below and forward, were custom built at Front Street Shipyard). At the bottom of the steps there is a secondary entryway to the engine room. A teak and holly companionway leads from here to the master. Farther along the companionway on the port side is a utility room with a linen locker, Dometic Combo Washer/Dryer and two access hatches for the after‐fuel tank and gray water tank. On the starboard side the companionway is a small storage room which has a fold down desk and seat, a safe, storage for storm ports, a fire extinguisher and fire hose. (Room was used by the present owner as a Ham Radio Room and is wired accordingly). Two port lights bring added light to this area.  

The master stateroom has (6) opening port lights (two to port, two to starboard and two larger ports in the after bulkhead which open up to the cockpit. There are screens and deadlights for all of these port lights as well as for the port lights throughout the rest of the boat). There is a king size berth mounted fore and aft on the centerline of the stateroom. On either side of the berth are built in bureaus, cubbies and bookshelves. Outboard on the starboard side of the room is a newly recovered settee. Above and behind the settee are additional cubbies and cabinets for storage. Mounted into one of the cabinets is a new Garmin GPS 6212. Farther forward is a double door hanging locker. On the port outboard side of the room there are additional cabinets and a built‐in vanity with mirror and stool. Mounted on the forward bulkhead opposite the foot of the berth is a 54” Samsung T.V.

Pilothouse
Just beyond the galley/dinette area is the Pilothouse. The Pilothouse can also be shut off from the galley by means of a pocket door. To starboard, aft, is an on‐deck head. Adjacent and outboard of the head are steps which lead to the flybridge above. At the helm is a spoked destroyer type wheel with a varnished wood rim. On the port and starboard sides of the pilothouse are varnished dogged and gasketed wing doors which were rebuilt and reskinned
during the 2015 refit. On the port aft side of the pilothouse is a leather bench seat with (4) small drawers and a long chart drawer under it. Above and inboard of the bench seat are bookshelves where the yacht’s drawings and equipment manuals are stored. Below these, in a cabinet are the “brains” for the VSAT and Iridium communication systems (run through Panasonic PBX), an HP Laser Printer and box for KVH TV. (Systems have been disabled but can be reactivated by a new owner).  Under this cabinet are the A.C. and D.C. panel for the bridge electronics and the Naiad controller for the stabilizers.  

At the port side of the pilothouse console is a chart desk/nav station which pulls out and away from the console for ease of studying and making notations. On the console are (2) Nauticomp Display screens for Nobeltec, Radar, NAVNET and surveillance cameras (2 in engine room, one aft, and one on flybridge). In addition, there is a Garmin GPS‐Map 7215 with Radar, Chart Plotter and the yacht’s Maritron Monitoring System.
