Worth knowing

Aqua Star Ltd.; cover, cost and conditions

Aqua Star builds its yachts on Guernsey in the Channel Islands. The yard looks back on more than four decades under continuous management. In the seventies it built glassfibre fishing trawlers, in the eighties sailing maxis of 81 feet, and today a range of motor yachts from 38 to 85 feet. The defining idea is weight distribution: engines and fuel tanks sit amidships so the yacht rides easily in a seaway. Hulls come out of the yard's own moulds with an isophthalic gelcoat, and interiors are developed with designers such as Ken Freivokh and Mark Tucker. The yachts are designed for stability, seaworthiness and long range on economical fuel use.

Our model records list 22 designs, all motor yachts. The oldest are the Aquastar 27 from 1975 and the Aquastar 33 from 1980. The eighties and nineties bring the Oceanranger 33, 38 and 46, the Ocean Ranger 43 Aft-Cab, the Ocean Star 45 and 118, the Nelson 46 Aft-Cabin and the Pacesetter 27. The current generation appears from 2013, from the Aqua-Star 48 to the Aqua-Star 80, joined by the Aqua-Star 85 in 2017. At 25.9 metres the 85 is the largest design, and the Aquastar 27 at 8.2 metres the smallest. Seven designs reach into the most recent build years, five measure 20 metres or more and eleven at least 15 metres.

A yacht built for long passages is only as good as its systems. On a used Oceanranger the engines, fuel tanks and shafts amidships deserve the closest look, together with the fuel lines and filters that keep a long-range boat running. Older hulls from the seventies and eighties can show osmosis blisters below the waterline, so a moisture reading after haul-out is sensible. The newer Aqua-Star models carry stabilisers, generators and a lot of electronics, and each system should come with its own service record. Teak decks and window seals are the usual wear points on yachts of any age.
