Turva
Turva is a beautiful Balboa 24 trailerable sailboat designed by W. Shad Turner and William Downing as a racer-cruiser. It has a 7/8 fractional sloop rig with anodized aluminum spars and masthead rig. The hull has a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin shoal draft keel. The cabin is equipped with a "pop-top". It has a 26.5 mast, displaces 2,600lb. and carries 900lb. of ballast.
Turva has sleeping accommodations for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner, alcohol-fired stove, an ice box and a sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side. The interior is trimmed with teak. Ventilation is provided by a plexiglass hatch on the foredeck and a cabin pop-top that also provides 6 ft of headroom when in the open position.
Turva was stripped to the hull in 2011 and totally refurbished. This included re-fiber glassing a soft spot on the cabin roof, installation of inch aluminum plate behind all chain plates and cleats, additional backing behind stanchions, and addition of heavy-duty cleats. All windows reseated. Interior wood was refinished and headline/hull-liner replaced. The ice box volume was increased and extra insulation was added. Countertops were replaced and a new faucet installed. Turva was completely rewired with tinned marine wire and new electronics installed. A Whale bilge pump with float installed. New cabin and navigation lights installed. New custom canvas sail covers (main and Jib), cabin, tiller, and winch covers. The running rigging was also replaced. An anchor roller was added to the bow to help with the 14lb. Delta anchor, 25 of chain and rope rode stored in bow chain locker. |
