Accommodations and Layout Forward Garage store extra lines, fenders, cockpit tables, 12+ foot long passarell in aluminum and teak.
This boat was made on a male mold and the hull deck was glassed on with no hull deck seem. The forward garage and the aft engine room are separated from the main cabin with water proof bulkheads. The engine has a Crash Pump which is capable of keeping the boat afloat in case of serious damage from collision.
Forward Locker is very large and stores sails, chain, fenders, line, and racks for six dive tanks.

Hull: "Mango Tango" was constructed by one of the finest yacht building yards in the World, Walstead of Denmark. As a custom yacht she was built over a male mold, which is the norm for one -off projects. What is interesting is that the hull and deck are a single monocoque structure. There is no hull deck joint. Advanced techniques for balsa cored construction were employed on the hull, including the elimination of excess resin. This makes for better fiberglass and less problem with osmosis. Building a hull upside down means that the cloth employed in the layup is laid in tension and excess resin is allowed to flow off the hull rather than pooling in the bottom of the hull. This optimizes the glass to resin content, which produces the strongest structure for the weight. After the hull was turned right side up, the interior bulkheads, furniture and major mechanical elements were added. Over this, the balsa cored deck was built in place. Eliminating the hull deck joint eliminates a potential weak point in the structure and a potential source of leaks throughout the yacht's life, not to mention the fact that the structure created is completely tied together with every element drawing strength from every other element.
Cockpit • WH Auto Pilot control • New cockpit cushions 06/06 of high density foam and Sunbrella Captains Navy Fabric. • Two swivel chairs at back of cockpit in easy reach of the 60" wheel. • Two primary three speed winches 36 Barient , two secondary two speed winches 27 Barient, one main sail winch 24 Barient two speed, Electric two speed #28 Anderson Halyard winch does duty for halyards and reefing both furling and main sail. All winches are self tailing. • 16 mile Radar in cockpit. • Cockpit Table • Garmin 126 GPS

There is a B&G speed and depth at Nav Staion plus a wind, speed depth etc. in Cockpit. Both Autopilots are Electric-Hydraulic with direct link to rudder, to allow steering if cable steering fails. Autopilot and the Reefer system use the same 24 volt motors thereby allowing lots of backup.

This electrical system is designed to allow easy access to power, where ever in the world you are. In Europe 240 volt 50 cycle or in USA 220 volt 60 Cycle. Most plugs are on board to allow easy connection. The 24 volt system gives smooth power without dimming as with 12 volt systems when pumps come on. This allows water making with either the main engine on or the Generator. In cruising the system normally needs about 3 hrs of generator time per day or 2-1/2 hrs of main engine use.

The vessel is set up to be safe and sailable by two people. In order to reef only the reef hooks need be done at the mast. All other parts of reefing is done in the cockpit. Batcars on the main allow reefing at all points of sail without coming into the wind. The boom does not overhang the cockpit which gives a very safe feel in the cockpit. The owners have found that although the boat is very fast it is still not a race boat and in fact the sail area is quite modest for a boat this size, this allowed them the ability to sail off together without extra crew. They did however use extra crew when on long passages for safety considerations. To truly appreciate Mango Tango you must sail her, we feel she is the finest yacht in her class and it is very hard to find a boat as fast and as safe as she is and still be able to sail without extra crew.
