Specifications, a drawing and a few pictures of Ocean Jewel are presented on this page and selectable tabs.  

A hundred pictures of Ocean Jewel could be posted here and it would still be hard to accurately present this magnificent sailing yacht.  She must be seen to be appreciated.  Ocean Jewel, at 22.86 meters (75 ft) in length, 5.6 meter (18.3 ft) beam, 2.7 meter (8.8 ft) draft and weighing approximately 50 tons, is an amazingly comfortable, strong and safe cruising yacht that turns heads where ever she goes.  She effortlessly cuts through the sea at 10 knots under sail in approximately 20 knots of wind or at 1400 rpm under engine power.  Despite her size she is very easy to sail and maneuver - even in close quarters.  During the refit we added a bow thruster that makes turning and maneuvering in marinas a breeze.  

​

Since completing the refit I've sailed Ocean Jewel from Nelson, New Zealand to Tonga and Fiji seven times and I am currently preparing her to set sail again.  Ocean Jewel is an amazing ocean cruising yacht that I am very fortunate to own.

The layout, shown on the next page, is an original drawing from the Southern Ocean Shipyard in Poole, England, where Ocean Jewel was built.  Ocean Jewel has three (3) double staterooms, three (ensuites incl showers), large saloon and full galley.    The drawing depicts the standard layout of a Van de Stadt Ocean 75.  Ocean Jewel has a slightly different interior that works very well.
