The hull is made of hand-laid GRP with integral longitudinal and transverse beams providing additional strength and rigidity. Structural bulkheads are hand-bonded to the hull and the engine bed is reinforced with steel plates. The lead keel is attached to a moulded extension beneath the boat using stainless steel bolts. The GRP rudder is moulded around a 30mm stainless steel rudder shaft with strengthening arms into the rudder blade, operated by a tiller in the cockpit and wheel (or as an option an autohelm) from inside. Rudder shaft bearings are of stainless steel with deldrinium glide-pieces. The standard hull is white with a blue waterline, with a dark blue hull and white waterline as an option.
The GRP deck is also hand-laid, with a balsa-cored sandwich construction providing added strength and good insulation. The hull and the deck are through-bolted and bonded over with hand-laid GRP. The raised toe-rail incorporates moulded scuppers and is finished with a practical rubber capping (which can be upgraded to teak, as an option). The deck surface features a moulded non-slip surface. At the bow, there is a self-draining anchor locker, complete with a 15kg anchor with chain and warp. The spacious self-draining cockpit has a very large full-depth locker on the port side, a second locker to starboard, and cave lockers with teak trims on both sides for smaller items. The cockpit seats are laid with 11mm solid teak, providing a warm and attractive surface. Deck Fittings Stainless steel pulpit, pushpit and transom ladder. Stainless steel stanchions with twin plastic coated stainless wires (630 mm high). Windows and roof hatches with aluminium frames and toughened glass. Two opening hatches above the pilot position and forward cabin. Two dorade vents above the main saloon, and a circular deck vent above the galley. Electric wipers to forward-facing pilot house windows. Four aluminium mooring cleats, two enclosed fairleads at bow and bow roller for anchoring. Teak handrails on pilot house roof and coach roof.
Aluminium deck-stepped single-spreader mast by Selden with internal halyards. Selden boom with rope kicker. Furlex headsail furling system, with genoa. Halyard winch on cabin roof. Two secondary winches on mast for halyards and reefing lines. Two genoa winches in cockpit. 25mm genoa-tracks with cars. Mainsail X-track with adjustable car. Mainsail with two slab reefing points.
The interior is finished in satin-varnished Burmese teak and teak-faced plywood as standard, with mahogany as an option. The floorboards are teak and holly-faced plywood. A wide choice of fabrics for the cushions and curtains are offered. Cushions are through-buttoned and finished with a knee roll for extra comfort.
Entering the cabin through the companionway, on the port side is the L-shaped galley. Set into the laminate work surface (Corian is an option) there is a gimballed two burner gas cooker with oven, an 80 litre cold box (ready for a fridge installation), and a stainless steel sink. A gas stop valve is located near the cooker. The 115 litre stainless steel fresh water tank feeds a pressurised hot and cold water system powered by an electric water pump. Hot and cold pressurised water is supplied to the sink, along with foot-pumped seawater for rinsing dishes. An extra galley work surface hinges up from the bulkhead adjacent to the saloon seating, with a cushion which allows it to double as a "navigators" seat. The top of the engine box can also be used as a galley work surface. On the starboard side of the companionway is the quarterberth, which extends back underneath the cockpit, and the internal steering and navigation station, with pilot seat and sloped chart and instrument table. Moving forwards, the saloon seating is on both sides of the boat. The saloon can seat up to 5 persons. The saloon table has drop-leaf sections that lift to provide a large table. The saloon seat on the starboard side has a "trotter box" for sleeping, and on the port side the standard seat is full length, though with an option to shorten this to allow the galley to be extended. Along both sides of the main cabin are various sliding and open lockers. Further forward, the heads compartment is on the port side. Included is a hand-pump marine toilet system including a 40 litre holding tank, emptied by a separate pump into the sea or via a deck fitting. Pressurised hot and cold water is supplied to the sink. In the forward sections of the yacht is a generous double cabin V-berth arrangement with plenty of storage. An opening hatch provides ventilation and an emergency exit route. Fitted carpets are an option.
The standard engine is the Volvo model 2030 29 hp freshwater-cooled marine diesel driving a fixed 3-blade propeller via a 25mm stainless steel shaft. The engine compartment is situated under the companionway. There is good service access, mostly from within the main cabin and the engine is well insulated by 25 mm aluminium surfaced sound proofing material. The stainless steel fuel tank holds approximately 115 litres and has a separate fuel valve. It is filled from the deck. The instrument panel at the navigator's station includes a rev counter and voltmeter, with warning lights and an audible alarm for water temperature, charging and oil pressure. Engine controls are provided both in the cockpit and at the pilot position. In the cockpit, a manual bilge pump is installed.
The 12 V DC system includes one 70Ah starter battery and one 70Ah service battery, charged by a 14V/55A engine alternator and isolated by separate battery switches. At the navigation station the hinged switchboard contains switches with automatic fuses, a fuel gauge and a 12v power socket. Lighting is installed throughout the interior including a chart light. External lights include international navigation lights and compass and instrument lighting.
Additional Equipment: Two fire extinguishers. Flagstaff. Two winch handles. Four fenders. Four 8 metre mooring lines. Although the UK specification Degero 28 MS has a good specification as standard, there are certain individual and package options you may consider to tailor your Degero to your exact requirements.
