Vessel Background
INGRID was thoughtfully designed with one of the most versatile layouts imaginable considering its heritage and size. Unlike the Downeast boats of her size, with a traditional pilothouse and separate cockpit, her pilothouse can be enclosed for protection from the elements in bad weather, whether by closing it up via a hinged aft bulkhead which turns the area from the transom all the way to the helm and below, into one single open space. The available central air conditioning or heating can be utilized for further comfort.
Outfitted with the latest state-of-the-art technology and amenities, her elegant looks, sleek lines, and finishes are traditionally Downeast, with flawless teak decking throughout. Her pilothouse and topside awlgrip finishes are impeccable, and her brightwork gleams with perfection.
Built in 2007, it is better-than-new today. Its owner has spent his time lovingly improving it over the years. Her topsides were awlgripped in 2018, her deck in 2020. New Volvo IPS engines and drives were installed in 2019, and a Seakeeper installed in 2022. Easily handled with twin Volvo IPS Pods, simply controlled with a Joystick, the owner or any other captain can sail it solo without the need of a mate.
It has a full galley with an electric cooktop, wet bar, separate ice maker, outdoor BBQ, entertainment system that can be controlled for the different areas, a TV which disappears into a cabinet while not using it, central vacuum, a Seakeeper. This is a luxurious, custom Downeast in a class of its own for its value.
