Description




New Dawn is an Aquanaut 1500 Drifter which was supplied by ourselves new in 2005 and was extremely highly specified for comfortable extended cruising of the European waterways and interconnecting coastal passages being a category B rated craft. She is presented in outstanding condition having benefitted from a full external repaint of the hull and topsides in September 2024 plus antifouling, anodes replacement. New Dawn has an air draft of just 2.93m which is ideal for the European Canals, making her an excellent alternative to a replica Dutch barge offing better handling and sea keeping. The list of her equipment is outstanding, and includes hydraulic bow & stern thrusters, generator, air conditioning, washing machine and dryer, dishwasher, separate fridge and freezer and so on.Inventory:Electronic steering compass – Raymarine ST60Depth – Raymarine ST60Speed Log – Raymarine ST60Windspeed and direction - Raymarine ST60VHF Radio – Simrad RS82 DSCGPS / Chartplotter – Raymarine Axiom 12 - New in 2024Radar – Raymarine QuantumAutopilot – Raymarine ST70001 With S100 Remote.AIS Combined Receiver & Transponder – Icom MA210 TRRadar reflectorRope cuttersVetus exhaust alarmsHydraulic bowthruster 160kgfHydraulic sternthruster 160kgfMastervolt 2500-watt InverterMastervolt 12 Ultra battery chargerMastervolt Whisper 12kw onboard generatorKabola diesel central heating systemAirconditioning 2400 BTUSiemens dishwasherSiemens four burner electric hob with Siemens extractor hoodSiemens electric oven and grillWaeco 115L fridgeWaeco Coolmatic 111L freezerBosch Maxx WTL121 6kg dryerBosch Maxx WFO3274 6kg washing machineCalorifier with 240v immersion heaterTwo electric marine toilets with holding tanks: one forward (180L) and one aft (180L)Double glazingVetus Hydraulic anchor windlass with remote controlTransom CraneAft deck canopy - New in February 2025Helmsman & Passenger seat - new in 2024Bathing Platform with ladderSmoke AlarmGas AlarmElectric bilge pumpsManual bilge pump
