Launched in April 2004, M/V Evening Star is the ultimate Cape Horn. Built under the supervision of Peter Sever of the Cape Horn Trawler Corp. and by A.F. Theriault, M/V Evening Star is the culmination of all of the Cape Horn modifications including interior layout by renown megayacht designer Jane Plachter-Vogel. This 2nd generation Cape Horn 65 has it all, including azimuthing Z drive, active fin stabilizers, bow thruster, flybridge, walk-around engine room, full side decks, and loaded with the finest of equipment.
Cape Horn trawlers were built to be the safest luxury yachts and have proven themselves to be worthy of their goals in surviving hurricanes, groundings, and even a knockdown in the tsunami in Phuket. "First in Safety, Safety First" is the company motto that has been substantiated.
The original owners lightly cruised New England from 2004 to 2009. The second owners were experienced sailors who enjoyed cruising from Newfoundland to Bahamas. The 3rd owners owned this CH hull # 15 for over 7 years. The current owners have enjoyed cruising the Pacific Northwest and Alaska for the past 3 years. Due to personal circumstances, the owners are ready to hand over this ready-to-go yacht to her new owners.
M/V Evening Star offers a unique opportunity for the cruising couple who wants a luxury expedition yacht where safety and redundancies are paramount.

Entry to the salon is through the watertight door from the aft deck or forward from the starboard side entrance into the galley. The salon features near panoramic windows, natural, halogen, and LED lighting, and provides for a feeling of warm ambiance combined with elegance and spaciousness. To starboard is an ergonomically designed 7' couch that seats six. The two cocktail tables are a clever design in that in addition to raising and lowering for cocktail or dining height, they can also serve as pedestals for a large dining table (stowed in custom cabinet to port) for 10; or the aft table alone acts as a pedestal for a 36" square card table (also stowable) or informal dining for 4 - 5. To port are two swivel recliners; the port cabinet houses the electronics for the 8 zone music distribution center.
Watertight door from starboard side into galley. The salon is separated from the galley by the custom designed island.

Entry to the pilothouse is up 2 steps from the galley/salon or from port or starboard watertight doors or from the flybridge. The pilothouse is every helmsman's dream: Panoramic windows, Stidd captain seats, pilot berth, settee for several guests, and electronics with redundancies.
In addition to the extensive array of electronics and nav equipment, and their redundancies, there is a well designed phone system that includes a Panasonic PBX with stations in all rooms providing access to cell lines, Iridium, shore lines, room to room calling, and paging. Cell phones connect to the ship's phone system via Bluetooth for incoming and outbound calls from anywhere on the ship and connect through an amplified antenna on the mast.

The utility room provides a large work area for housing equipment and provides a separation between the staterooms and the engine room. A watertight door to the engine room has a view port.
