RE-FIT in 2005 by OWNERS
MIGRANT was bought by her present owners in 2005 as a well-built "but needing repairs" Cammenga 61 steel trawler with the intent of doing extensive cruising as a couple. She was taken from the Chesapeake to Padanaram MA and then on to Lunenburg Nova Scotia. She underwent a total interior refit while at the Lunenburg Foundry. Her owners managed the project, living in Lunenburg for the duration of the project.
As described by her owners:
The entire interior was removed, down to bare steel, with the exception of the engine room. Inside, the forward end of the underfloor fuel tanks showed corrosion, and both were shortened. Most of the steel freshwater tank was removed and replaced with a new stainless steel tank (about 400 gallons). The forward part of the old freshwater tank was made into a gray water tank, and the old gray water tank was converted to a blackwater tank.
In the engine room the insulation was removed and replaced. The generator was relocated from the lazarette to the port aft are in the engine room. Nothing was done to the Gardiner main engine, which runs flawlessly. All small componenets, filters, pumps etc were removed and overhauled or replaced as necessary.
On the outside, the old teak decks were removed, exposing a fair amount of wasted steel decking. Virtually all the main decks were replaced including anchor windlass platform, and repairs to steel work made as needed. Any steel that was more than 10% wasted was replaced, including a very small portion of the hull. Pilot house to deck interface and stack-to-house interface were placed. The hull rubrail was found to be deteriorated rubber and was replaced with half-round stainless steel. Rail cap was removed and replaced with new steel flange, and a new teak caprail was installed when she returned to her home at the Fairhaven Shipyard.
The teak main deck was fabricated and installed by TDS in 2006. No mechanical fastening and no bungs.
The interior was designed to be a comfortable home for two, with a guest cabin. The galley had to have "the comforts of home", as did the bathroom/head with large shower, home-size washer/dryer etc.
After sandblasting, all steel was painted and all exterior surfaces insulated. Extra insulation, SoundDown insulation and cork was used on the bulkhead between the engine room and living spaces. Cork was installed between the two layers of subflooring. All interior members were epoxy-coated (3 coats) after fitting and before installation.
All electrical and plumbing is new. Glass in all the windows was replaced. The skylights and stainless steel opening ports are new.
Interior woods are native North American Cherry, with Ash overhead beams. Wall coverings are vinyl.
Extensive documentation and photographs of the refit work are available. Interested buyers may contact listing broker for additional online photos in higher resolution.
Since her refit, MIGRANT has travelled extensively, including 7 summers cruising the Med (shipped across the Atlantic as deck cargo). She is comfortable, capable and ready to go much farther....
MIGRANT holds a USCG Certificate of Documentation.
