MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

The engine room is accessed from a hatch aft of the saloon doors through the outside leading down to the well laid out engine room. Systems and engineering are a notable feature of all Fleming Yachts whose philosophy has always been to choose only the best equipment available for the job and make sure that it is readily accessible for maintenance. To achieve the extremely low sound and vibration that Flemings are known for, Aquadrive systems transfer the thrust directly to the hull and isolate the engine by using soft engine mounts.


The lazarette houses the water tanks, steering gear and air conditioning compressors while also leaving ample room for storing cruising gear such as spare anchors, rode, lines, fenders, and parts. Having the A/C compressors located here instead of in a hot engine room improves performance and efficiency and minimizes noise. Additionally, all battery isolation switches are accessible from outside the engine-room.

DECK AND CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

In common with all Flemings, the hull is hand laid solid fiberglass reinforced with a grid of stringers and frames. Vinylester resin is used below the waterline with further protection provided by epoxy barrier coats. A reasonable five foot draft allows for world wide cruising while ensuring that the running gear is protected by a full-length keel which is foam filled and glassed across the top to isolate it from the hull.


Special attention has been paid to the ease and safety in which the heavy duty ground tackle is set and retrieved. The anchor can be controlled by a handheld unit at the platform or by windlass controls at the flybridge station.


On deck she has the familiar walk-around decks we are used to seeing on all the Flemings and the high bulwarks and Portuguese bridge provide security for both children and pets. Docking controls are located starboard of the saloon doors Four gasketed and lockable hatches provide access to the engine room and spacious lazarette.

SALON

Entering the saloon from the aft deck through the double doors you are immediately impressed by the spaciousness and ambiance. The attention to detail and exquisite handmade teak paneled cabinets gives rise to feelings of warmth and relaxation. The 16 beam provides space enough for dining and lounging areas and great care has been taken to balance scale with function. The open floor plan of the saloon encompasses the galley and dining area which can comfortably seat six.


Along the port side of the saloon is an elongated L-shaped settee anchored small end table. The star-board side includes an entertainment center with retractable flat panel TV hidden behind a teak cabinet followed by a credenzas with ample storage and a cut out for your favorite arm chair.

ACCOMMODATIONS

The accommodations layout features a central passage which has proved to be so desirable over many years in the Fleming 55. This layout contributes to an easy and convenient flow of traffic through the boat as well as making it possible to appreciate the full length of the boat from forepeak bulkhead to tran-som. The arrangement provides bunks to starboard, a VIP guest cabin to port and an en-suite master stateroom forward. The accommodations are dressed with teak and Formica and offers great comfort and convenience without any steep stairs to negotiate. Centrally located in the passage, behind a sliding teak door is a full-sized 220v washer and separate dryer.


The master stateroom includes a queen island berth with two skylights. Ample storage is accomplished via a large cavity underneath the bed that is accessed through gas assist struts. Additional storage is found via his and hers hanging lockers, drawers and book shelves.


Both master and guest heads are exceptionally spacious with generous glass and stainless steel shower enclosures. Each head contains Headhunter electric flush toilets (master includes bidet feature), Hansgrohe thermostatic controlled fixtures and Corian countertops along with one piece molded fiberglass stall showers.


The port stateroom has single berths with a slide out upper berth outboard and a fold down single berth inboard. Storage is provided through a large hanging locker and drawers underneath the berths as well as built-in shelving along the aft wall. The starboard stateroom features the bunks with a slide out upper berth. Hanging locker, drawers and bookshelves provide ample storage for gear.

PILOTHOUSE

In many modern designs it has become fashionable to eliminate the inside steering station, but the Fleming 55 features a pilothouse which closely resembles the bridge of a much larger vessel. Fleming created a dedicated place from which the boat is piloted and controlled without any distractions from other on-board activities to include an optional teak privacy door. Pilothouse is still only three steps from the saloon and galley and four interior steps safely lead to the upper fly bridge station.


Specially designed removable consoles provide ample room for a full range of modern electronic equipment without intruding on the full range of engine instrumentation. Overhead consoles provide additional space. There is also a proper chart area with drawers and a chart light. Both AC and DC electrical panels swing out to provide easy access to wiring connections and the inside of the fly bridge console is accessed through a swing-out book-case. The watch-keeper has their own helm seat and an adjacent, raised L-shaped settee and table provide a comfortable social area with excellent visibility through the side and forward windows.


Visibility forward and to port and starboard is excellent, and the two sliding doors open to the wide side decks. The traditional teak and holly sole is standard. There are large drawers and working space for charts, cruising books, and navigation instruments, binoculars and everything else a captain needs to chart and follow a safe course. A large stainless steel teak-trimmed destroyer wheel fits the ambiance of this ultimate cruising yacht.
