2005 Snowbird 73

True Love is a performance semi-displacement trawler motor yacht that will appeal to discriminating buyers who may also be considering comparable quality series-built brands such as Fleming, Marlow, Offshore, Hampton, Ocean Alexander and Outer Reef. Created out of custom aluminum alloy, she is an outstanding island hopper and coastal cruiser, offered for sale by her second owners. It may seem difficult to establish value for a one-of-a-kind original, but one factual measure is the price she cost to build new — over six million dollars in 2005. True Love is best summarized in one word: "innovative." She boasts a collection of best-in-class features and equipment.

Improvements and upgrades completed in 2023 and 2024 include: replaced HVAC/chiller system x2 (CTM Model CW-60HS, 60,000 BTU); new Miele clothes washer (WXD160 WCS USA) and dryer (TXD160WP USA); new air handler in aft cabin; new U-Line 24" 2000-series stainless steel refrigerator in galley; new U-2074RB-00 refrigerator on aft deck; replaced mirror ceiling in owner head; hot water tank thermostat replaced and many Pex fittings replaced with SharkBite.

The first owners were an experienced cruising couple who owned several sailboats and two Grand Banks trawlers before deciding to order one final yacht to satisfy their desires for the ideal cruising boat — appealing, practical and, above all, easy to operate and maintain. They engaged renowned naval architect Gregory Marshall to work out the profile and layout they wanted, then selected Park Isle Marine in British Columbia for construction. For the size and performance they were looking for, it was determined that aluminum alloy construction would give them the strength and weight they needed. The entire design was first computer modeled, enabling the aluminum to be cut to exact specifications and welded together. The original concept specified a diesel-electric propulsion package which was never able to meet performance promises; the final solution was to repower with two Scania engines (branded Yanmar), installed by Deltaville Boatyard in Virginia. Although the build year is listed as 2005, the owners were not able to enjoy True Love (originally called Retired Sailor III) until 2010.

A great first impression — you will appreciate her dock-sized swim platform for easy boarding. You can adjust the safety rail and detachable swim ladder. The large hinged storage lockers are conveniently installed outboard in the transom for fresh water hoses, shore power and assorted gear. The centerline promenade stairwell is wide with large steps that easily transition to the aft deck cockpit, and includes a hot and cold freshwater hand shower and two opening port lights for the aft stateroom.

• Adjustable transom U-rail support
• Removable swim ladder
• Hinged storage lockers port and starboard for shore power and freshwater gear
• Hot and cold fresh water hand shower
• Marine 2000 decking

True Love's covered aft deck is ideal for entertaining and provides an incredible view of your surroundings. You are five feet above the waterline, which makes this a very dry and secure boat. There are portable chairs and tables for relaxing as well as a storage locker, plus a sink, ice maker, refrigerator and sidebar beverage dispensing system. A safety gate is located at the top of the stairwell. You can enter the saloon through the double French doors or go forward along either side deck.

The foredeck was designed to provide a huge open space with high bulwarks and tall aluminum tubular railing for safety. The anchor deck is a raised stage with the windlass and chain lockers, and the dual anchor well is angled forward to drain anchor wash down. The large deep chain lockers have a separate shelf aft for the Glendinning shore power retrievers and fresh water hoses. Aft, below the reverse-raked windows, is a huge hinged storage container for stowing lines and shore power attachments.

Entering the saloon from the raised aft deck through the watertight glass French doors, you will be impressed with the inviting layout and wide-open vistas outboard. There are large opening windows, and the beautiful cherry wood is accented with warm-colored ultra-suede wall covering. The cork flooring adds a practical and decorative touch with sound insulation advantages. The saloon was designed for both lounging and dining, with a comfortable upholstered couch and matching armchairs (dogged down) and an innovative high-low coffee/dining table that can seat eight. An entertainment center with flat screen television is in the aft starboard cabinetry. Two stairwells serve the saloon: the forward (starboard amidships) leads up to the flybridge and down to the owner stateroom, utility room and third cabin; the aft stairwell leads down to the full-beam guest stateroom and engine room.

The flybridge stairs from the main deck level lead to a sliding door with screen. This top deck is all on one level, with the area forward of the mast enclosed with clear Lexan panels; the side panels are mounted on separate tracks so they can be opened independently or removed and stored in vinyl bags. This area has proven to be the most popular area of the boat and can be temperature controlled. Centered forward is the helm station with all necessary nav/com electronics easily reached from the two-seater Stidd helm bench. The crew enjoys forward-facing seating port and starboard, and for meals there is a U-shaped seating area with a drop-leaf table.

True Love was delivered to her original owners in May 2006 in British Columbia, Canada. After initial sea trials and commissioning in the San Juan Islands she was transported as cargo to Fort Lauderdale, FL for extensive review of the diesel-electric propulsion. After trials, it was determined the diesel-electric package would not live up to expectations, and she was moved to Deltaville Boatyard in Virginia for an extensive two-year retrofit, with marine industry expert Steve D'Antonio hired as a consultant. In April 2010 the new and improved Retired Sailor III was re-launched and began her cruising career, travelling well over 10,000 miles from Virginia to the Bahamas and Turks. The owners of Deltaville Boatyard were her custodians with cruising privileges, and ultimately an arrangement was made to transfer possession to the people who knew the boat best. Steve D'Antonio, who was involved with the vessel for seven years, describes her as "a fine vessel and one of my personal favorites," noting that "truly no expense has been spared in maintaining" her, with "only the finest, highest quality equipment" used and installed to ABYC and manufacturer standards.

True Love was constructed using aluminum alloy for better strength-to-weight ratios and to keep her lighter to gain more speed. The entire design was first computer modeled, enabling the aluminum to be cut to exact specifications and welded together over robust framing. She is a three-level flush deck boat: lower deck with staterooms fore and aft of the engine room; main deck with saloon, galley forward and pilot station; upper deck with enclosed flybridge forward and tender storage.

True Love is a stellar example of an ideal coastal cruising trawler — quite simply an extraordinary yacht. Her two owners have contributed their expertise and care and enjoyed many years of trouble-free cruising; she is a wonderful liveaboard for months on end. Her active use and regular maintenance regimen have kept her in Bristol condition. True Love is truly at home in stormy offshore weather and equally comfortable plying calm coastal waters. Throughout her life there has never been a limitation due to budget. She is truly "ready to cruise" and will continue providing her new owners the special luxury of comfortable cruising with safety and redundancy.
