84′ Troy Motor Explorer, MRS ROBINSON

Broker’s Comments

84′ Troy Motor Explorer MRS ROBINSON is in her fourth ownership. She was originally built for a German owner who insisted on the use of an American designer and equipment that was American or North European. This has very much added to the look, feel, capability and comfort of the yacht, including a glorious high gloss maple interior specified by him.

Sold to another European she was then purchased by a company that specializes in recovering artifacts from marine wrecks, for use in a support role. She was carefully assessed at this time for coding to MCA Category 0 that requires an additional bulkhead in the forward lower deck accommodation. Stability information and plans are available to intending owners for their review.

Her current owner has used her for local cruising with his family. He has run her easily without crew, finding her easy to handle in confined spaces and very comfortable at sea. During his ownership MRS ROBINSON has been fully serviced and put into a sound operational condition. There are some outstanding works which are in progress –

• Completing the overhaul of the air conditioning system.
• Refitting the watermaker which was removed for refurbishment by the manufacturers’ agent.
• Completing the rewire of the stabiliser system. The fins have been completely overhauled.

MRS ROBINSON is a very handsome explorer yacht with a striking flag blue hull and smart upperworks. She has a hydraulic crane for handling the dinghy, good access to the water with a large platform with retractable passerelle and bathing ladder, a large aft deck, protected side decks and a sunbathing area forward. The flying bridge is large and has very good vision when at sea.

Below there is a large bridge with seating area and seating behind, and access to the upper deck. There is a day head, and access to the practical galley which leads to the deck saloon with access to the aft deck. There are 2 guest cabins on the lower deck forward and a further 2 upper and lower berth cabins for crew or guests. All these cabins have ensuite heads and showers. Access to the owners’ stateroom on the lower deck is via steps in the main saloon. It is a large and comfortable area with king sized berth, heads, separate shower and walk in wardrobe.

The engine room and lazarette separated by a watertight door is spacious and can be accessed from either the stern platform or from an access door on the main deck.

She is perfectly suited to serious cruising with a range of around 2,600 nautical miles and is also well mannered for local cruising. She is always the most handsome yacht in the anchorage.

MRS ROBINSON has a current stability booklet and plans are available on request for the fitting of an additional watertight bulkhead if a new owner was interested in coding her to MCA Category Zero.

Owner’s Comments

MRS ROBINSON has been a joy for family cruising. She is safe, easy to manage and extremely comfortable. During the summers we have spent school holidays aboard and what I love most about her is that she is a real home from home. Well designed and with every comfort, she has been exactly like a house on the sea.

When I purchased MRS ROBINSON she had been laid up for some time and there was quite a lot of deferred maintenance to do. She has proved totally reliable but I felt it necessary to carry out a major service on the main engines and to review many of the yacht’s systems. The stabilizers were leaking on purchase and they have been totally overhauled. They now need commissioning, but it is worth noting that throughout my ownership we have cruised the yacht without stabilisers and she has a solid and secure motion even in big seas.

My plans have now changed and unfortunately I will not have the time to complete the MRS ROBINSON project by spending the time aboard her she deserves or to take her to the places that I had planned. I am very sorry therefore that she now has to find a new home. I am sure that her new owner will hugely enjoy this well designed, sea kindly and very comfortable little ship.
