The Apollo 32 was designed and built by Klaus Baess, who chartered the first hull in Kalvehaven in 1971 - here in a very well-maintained copy of the so-called TT DL Deluxe model from 1984, where DL (Double List) means approx. 10 cm extra headroom in the cabins. The Apollo 32 is a robust, safe and well-sailing semi-planing motorboat that combines practical functionality with comfortable interior design.
"Nena" has two Volvo Penta TAMD 40 A / AQ 40 A engines with fixed Nivo screw shaft and black jack on both shafts with venting, as well as bronze propellers. According to previous sales documents, there are indications that either one or both of the engines have been restored in 1993. Both diesel pumps have been restored in 2022, allowing the engines to run on GTL diesel. The engine compartment is also secured with an automatic fire extinguisher.
The layout on board is practical and comfortable with a large bright cockpit with good visibility, an aft cabin where the toilet has been removed to create extra closet space and a cabin in the bow with integrated pantry and separate toilet with shower. The cabins have about 10 cm extra height compared to the standard model, which combined with the large windows gives a light, airy and spacious feel. The pantry has ample cupboard space and is equipped with all the necessary amenities, including crockery, fridge, oven and double gas hob.
The navigation equipment consists of two Simrad NSS7 chartplotters incl. sea charts as well as 3G radar and AIS function. The Sleipner SE80/185T stern and bow thruster can be operated either in the cockpit or elsewhere on the boat via remote control, providing extra flexibility when maneuvering in port. The hydraulic steering system is connected to the Simrad chartplotter, making it possible to plan a route and then let the autopilot sail it.
Other equipment includes a bow and stern anchor, a searchlight operated from the cockpit, a Webasto air top 3500 diesel lighthouse, Vetus water heater, Centaur Charger and a separate battery bank for the thrusters. The boat's electrical and hydraulic system and plumbing work has been continuously updated and carried out with care.
Also included are fenders, ropes, various safety equipment including a 6-person life raft (to be serviced) and new physical charts (100 and 103).
