The current owners acquired the “A. H. Dauntless” vessel in 2005, initially for private use. In 2007, the vessel underwent significant enhancements at The Yard Shipyard in Brisbane. This included the installation of a new 620HP Yanmar 6LAH-STE engine, complemented by a new 28 KVA Onan generator. Additional mechanical and electrical work was also undertaken at this time. Notably, extensive external modifications were carried out at The Yard to align with the preferences of the new owners. The interior showcases meticulous craftsmanship, featuring New Guinea Rosewood finishes. Following these adjustments, a complete repaint by G.T. Mack & Company in Brisbane breathed new life into “A. H. Dauntless,” rendering her ready to conquer the open seas.
Her performance at sea is commendable, with the 620HP Yanmar 6LAH-STE shaft drive diesel effortlessly propelling her at approximately 8 to 9 knots, all while maintaining an economical fuel consumption rate of just 60 liters per hour. The inclusion of KeyPower hydraulic underway stabilizers ensures a smooth and comfortable voyage, minimizing unwanted rolling.
Navigating tight spaces is a breeze, thanks to multiple control stations, including the main helm, port-side wing control station, and the wireless Dockmate remote controller. Swift sideways movement, facilitated by the KeyPower hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, simplifies docking.
“A. H. Dauntless” offers generous accommodation across her six cabins, comfortably sleeping 14 individuals across three levels. The spacious saloon and dining area contribute to a relaxed and enjoyable maritime experience. The wheelhouse offers exceptional visibility and is equipped with a comprehensive suite of electronics required for extended cruising. The Nobeltec computer navigation package and Raymarine sounder combine to ensure seamless navigation. Notably, the master cabin’s strategic placement behind the helm ensures proximity to the vessel’s action while at sea.
The vessel’s overall volume is impressive, with the back deck housing a versatile 5.0 MT AB RIB inflatable tender, featuring a 60HP Mercury 4-stroke outboard engine. The Gormagh 40000-E hydraulic variable-weight knuckle crane davit simplifies tender lifting. A retractable electric-operated awning forward of the tender provides shade for a custom-built table, offering a comfortable space for up to 10 individuals.
