NSS Pattam Charter Information. Comfort
NOISE RAIN ROLLING HEAT PLUMBING
|
These are just some of
the items that can make
your charter miserable.
Whenever you are
considering a yacht for
charter, whether it is a
sailboat, a catamaran, a
trimaran, or a power boat,
these 4 items will be
considerations that relate
to your comfort and the
comfort of each person in
your party.
Noise is a very
annoying disturbance
when you are trying to
sleep in any place, but
boats can have more
noises than you imagine,
and that can make your
charter very trying.
Whether it is a sailboat or
a powerboat, if you
expect to have the
comforts of air
conditioning indoors,
some generator will have
to be running
continuously, whether
you are sailing or
anchored. The noise of
this generator throughout
your charter will be a
large measure of how
much fun you have.
In addition to the
generator, if the boat is
moving, some engine
will be involved unless
you are purely sailing
(which is rare), and this
can also be very tiring if
you have to raise your
voice to be heard. Some
yachts have unmufflered
engines so they are
extremely loud, reducing
your enjoyment.
Rain is not supposed
to appear during your
charter. Unfortunately this
is rarely the case, and it
rains almost every day,
even if just for a few
minutes, and many times
just during the night.
Now you are on a boat
that you told the crew to
stop the air conditioning
because of the generator
noise, and now you have
to get up and close the
hatches, or be wet. In
addition, after you close
the hatches you will start
to sweat and so on.
You need to have the air
conditioning running to
avoid this scenario.
Rolling on a boat is
nearly unavoidable, even
on very large cruise ships.
All anchorages we use
will give you a smooth
ride while at anchor.
While underway, unless
you like the rolling motion
of a boat, a stabilized boat
is a must to counteract
the motion of the waves
and to make the
movement of the boat
smooth.
Heat is great when
you are in the water or on
the beach, but you would
probably be better off
without heat when you
are inside or trying to
sleep.
Again, full time air
conditioning is a must.
Most air conditioning
systems cannot cool the
boat during a few hours
before going to sleep if
the system is off during
the day.
A quiet central system
with no compressors in
your stateroom is what
you need for quietness
and home-like comfort.
Plumbing is
something you usually
do not think about at
home. We just take it for
granted.
On many boats the
plumbing is not like at
home, and in some it is
close to camping. You
need to know that the
yacht should have a
fresh water flush system
like at home, preferably a
quiet one, with just a
button you push to flush.
No pumps and valves to
deal with.
How much will you enjoy
having to move the toilet
paper to take a shower if
you do not want it to get
wet? This does exist on
some yachts and you will
not know about it until it
is too late.
NSS Pattam has
generators that are so
quiet you are not aware
they are running. They are
also enclosed in a
soundproof box and have
double sets of hospital
type silencers for extreme
quietness.
The main engines are
quiet and intrinsically
balanced 6 cylinder 3306
Caterpillars with
silencers. You can carry
on a normal conversation
anywhere on NSS Pattam
while underway.
The stabilizers are always
on while NSS Pattam is
underway making the ride
smooth.
The centrally air
conditioned system on
NSS Pattam is quiet and
is always on for your
comfort.
The central fresh water
toilet system on NSS
Pattam is Headhunter,
the best available and
quietest system, with
push button flush.
