1934 PILOTHOUSE MOTORSAILER / WILLIAM HAND Jr. “GUILDIVE” $175,000

GUILDIVE has had an impressive history starting with her build on Coney Island, NY at the Wheeler Shipyard in 1934, originally given the name RESTLESS.  She was built to William Hand Jr.'s design who is recognized as one of the most respected yacht designer of the 20th century.  She was first under the ownership of a well known politician and businessman from Long Island.  She spent much of her early life in the waters of Long Island, New York Harbor, and New Jersey.  After a few owners she was taken into the WWII coastal picket force and used as a patrol vessel along the New Jersey and Long Island shores.  A few pieces from that time are still shown on the boat.  She returned to private ownership and was taken to Marblehead.  After her time in New England she was sold and brought to the Caribbean.  The owners were one of the first people in the Caribbean to offer charters in the U.S. Virgin Islands.  Many of her past guests and crew still remember her down there.  Sold in 1980, an extensive 8 year refit in Puerto Rico was completed and they continued to own her for a total of 30 years.  The vessel, at that time, cruised the coast of the United States and Canada and was well outfitted for cruising and double handed sailing.  Presently GUILDIVE is used as a day and overnight charter business along the east coast ranging from the Chesapeake Bay to the Penobscot Bay, Maine.

Mechanical and Electrical:

GUILDIVE's machinery, batteries and fuel tankage is located below the pilothouse where there is ample space for tools, spares, lubricants and miscellany storage.  The overall dimensions are 12' X 16' with 2 hatch accesses.

 

Engine: Detroit Diesel 4-71

Engine Hours: Post engine rebuild in 2015, 100 hours

Engine Power: 140 Horse Power

Generator: 10kw Isuzu QD-27, 2-cylinder engine with a Lima SN series

Generator Hours: 2100

Propeller: 3 Blade 32” Luke

 

Fuel: 600 Gallons in 4 isolated tanks, port/stbd fuel fills with no corrosion or rust

 

Fuel is supplied to both generator and main engine through Racor fuel filters before the engine mounted primary fuel filters.  Propulsion is transferred via the Capitol Marine Gear 3:1 reduction gearbox to the 2" stainless Aquamet 22 main shaft with a 32X28 full feathering Luke propeller.  The shaft linkage is made up of a primary shaft and a stump shaft to allow in-water service of the propeller.  The Luke propeller is well matched to manage GUILDIVE’s 46ton displacement and offers ample power in forward and reverse through all tide, current and sea conditions.

 

The potable water system was renewed in 2011 with PEX piping, new pressure tank, 32volt pump and new storage tank in 2013.  The hot water system is heated through both heat exchange with the main engine and 120volt water heater.

 

Electrical power is managed through 3 battery banks: 2-32volt banks and 1-12volt bank, all new 2012.  Charging the batteries is accomplished through the main engine alternator for 32volt banks and the generator alternator for the 12volt bank.  Additionally, there are two AC 120volt 12volt chargers and one AC 120volt 32volt charger for shore power supplied battery charging.

 

GUILDIVE’s electrical panel is divided between 32volt,12volt and 120volt systems.  The 32volt system includes the majority of house and deck lighting, navigational lights, radar, 32volt/120volt inverter, potable water and shower discharges while the 12volt system operates navigational equipment (AIS, NEMA-2000 Weather Station), VHF Radio, LED house lighting, Sounder, cook stove solenoids, stereo, blowers and fans.  All wiring is modern construction and sized accordingly allowing for potential expansion of 12volt or change to 24volt systems.  The AC 120volt system is supplied via the Lima generator or via shore power connection.  The shore power connection is provided through an Isolation Transformer.  The AC 120volt system provides power for the refrigeration/freezer unit, battery charging, hot water heater and standard 120volt outlets in the main cabin, engine room and aft cabin.
