General Description

MOE IPO is a custom Stubenberg 65 motor yacht with flybridge originally built in 1937. She was then refitted in 1987 and underwent a major refit in 2002 by its current owner in Honolulu, Hawaii, where her underwater hull plating was renewed. The displacement hull has a deep-V entry tapering aft along her chine, rolling chock stabilizers along her underwater hull sides, moderate deadrise, and a vertical

transom carrying a cantilevered stainless welded swim platform. The vessel is arranged on multiple levels with a flying bridge, main deck, and lower accommodations. Twin diesel motors coupled to conventional straight shafts provide propulsion with a single rudder centerline.

Flybridge Deck

The flybridge deck is situated atop the entire length of the main deckhouse and extends outwards to the vessel's beam, creating an overhang on the port and starboard sidewalks. Upon ascending the teak planked stairway from the aft deck to starboard up to the bridge deck, there is a four-person jacuzzi hot tub secured onto a wooden base to port, which is drained upon getting underway. Moving forward, there is an aft lounge deck furnished with cushioned removable bench seating to opposite sides of a low table. The flybridge helm station is situated forward of the mast and exhaust trunk. The helm station area is arranged with molded bench seating along the sides of the Portuguese-style bridge drop-leaf teak

dinette, and is protected overhead by canvas on aluminum framing with roll-down canvas weather curtains.

The pilot command station is positioned centrally on a teak console and orderly arranged with propulsion controls, a wooden ships wheel, an oversized compass in bronze housing, and port and starboard analog instrument panels. Forward of the flybridge is reserved for the sun deck with two chaise lounge chairs. The flybridge deck perimeter is guarded by a 36" tall two-tiered safety guard rail topped with teak.

Main Weather Deck

The main weather deck is accessed from boarding gates to port and starboard. The foredeck is arranged with 12" mooring cleats and a dual drum 12 VDC horizontal windlass. The 26" wide sidewalks along the deckhouse and narrow at a step up as the deckhouse widens and leads to the aft deck. A flush aluminum deck hatch to port leads down to the lazarette, which serves as storage, houses the freshwater tank, and provides access to the steering gear. There is a wooden propane locker beneath the flybridge stairs, and

wall mounted electric water heater. The swim platform is accessed down a two-step ladder equipped with a freshwater washdown bib and a two-burner propane grill. The swim platform serves as additional lounge seating when moored pier side. The main weather deck perimeter is guarded by a 36" tall two- tiered safety guard rail topped with teak.
