Overview

**NEWS FLASH!!! QUINTESSENCE HAS ARRIVED IN ST. PETERSBURG FL!!!!**

QUINTESSENCE was bought by the present owners in January 2008 and has benefited from a $70,000 refit as part of the preparation to complete a circumnavigation planned by the new owners. Due to a change in personal circumstances the current owners are now unable to continue with their plans and are reluctantly offering QUINTESSENCE for sale.

This boat is in excellent condition and all major systems have been replaced, reconditioned or upgraded as part of the 2008 refit.

All bills and invoices can be made available to any prospective purchaser to confirm the thoroughness of the preparation and the extent of the investment in QUINTESSENCE.

A very thorough survey of the vessel was commissioned by the owners in December 2007 and the owners have addressed all of the significant recommendations and suggestions made in this survey. These were completed to the highest professional standards by well known and highly regarded Marine Professionals in Florida and the Caribbean (details available upon request). As with the purchase of any yacht, a survey is always advisable and the owners are absolutely confident that QUINTESSENCE will pass any survey with flying colors.

The 2008 program of work included the following :
� New standing rigging throughout the boat
� New Raymarine Type 3 Autopilot with S3G AST course computer and ST6002 Cockpit controller
� New Raymarine Wireless Autopilot Remote & Instrument Repeater
� New Raymarine ST60+ Depth/Wind/Speed Instrument system & new masthead transducer
� All Ball Valves/Thru-Hulls replaced or repaired
� Complete overhaul of the steering system including lubricating all cables/sheaves, removing the rudder, reconditioning the rudderstock, replacing the bearings, refitting the rudder and finally repacking the rudder stuffing box

� Safety Equipment replacement including:
� New REVERE OCEAN XTREME Liferaft
� MOM8 Man overboard capsule
� New Lifesling2 Man overboard system
� EPIRB
� New Fire Extinguishers throughout the boat
� New Flares (Red Handheld, Red Parachute, White, Orange Smoke, Flare guns, etc) that meet and exceed Ocean going requirements.
� Main Genoa, spare Genoa and Staysail have all been professionally reconditioned, including new UV strips.
� New CORIAN countertop in Galley
� PERKINS Engine serviced and reconditioned (e.g Oil Heat exchanger and Water/Coolant Heat exchanger removed and reconditioned, new Perkins Freshwater circulation pump installed, all Injectors removed and replaced/reconditioned, etc)
� Kohler Marine Generator serviced and reconditioned (e.g heat exchanger removed and reconditioned, injectors replaced/reconditioned, new Seawater circulation pump installed, etc)
� Novurania Dinghy & Yamaha Outboard serviced
� New 32� Sony Flatscreen TV ($1000)
� New Pioneer DVD Player
� New TEMPUR-PEDIC Mattress for Queen sized centerline berth in Master Cabin ($2,500)
� Air Conditioning units serviced
� Complete Imray Iolaire Waterproof charts for the Caribbean (retail at $1200)
� Interior joinery work to improve storage and address cosmetic wear and tear
� New RARITAN PHII Marine Toilets and plumbing in both heads
� Refit of Galley with all NEW (2008) top of the range Pots, Pans, Crockery, Utensils etc

This list only includes the major upgrades and a far more extensive list of maintenance and upgrade is available.

A particular feature of the TAYANA 55 is the walk-in Workshop. As can be seen in the pictures, this provides an impressive workspace with a workbench and vise. The workshop is completely fitted with every tool needed to repair and maintain all mechanical and electrical systems on board QUINTESSENCE. The complete contents of the workshop are included in this sale and represent a considerable value in their own right. The new owner will not have to provide so much as a single screwdriver in order to tackle any job on board.

Another often overlooked but very major expense in acquiring a new yacht is the necessity to carry a wide range of spare parts. The owners have already outfitted QUINTESSENCE with a very extensive selection of spare parts for all of the major boat systems. These range from the routine spares like fuel/oil filters, belts, hull/heat exchanger zincs to much more expensive critical spares including spare Starter Motor, Alternator, Freshwater pump and fuel pump for the main engine and a two year supply of replacement filters/cartridges for both the 12vDC and 110vAC Watermakers. These are just a few of the major spares on board which represent a major investment and provides peace of mind to any new owner that is unlikely to be matched by many other vessels offered for sale.
Also included in the sale is an extensive range of fishing equipment, custom made awnings to protect the deck, and much other boating equipment is included.

A common assertion made of yachts for sale is that they are in �turn key� condition or �ready for a circumnavigation�. Rarely is this the actual case, but QUINTESSENCE is arguably unique in that this statement is true since all a new owner would require is to provision her and bring aboard their personal effects before setting sail!
