NOT FOR SALE TO US CITIZENS WHILE IN US WATERS
A Top 5 International Superyacht Design Award winner, “Impetus” was custom built for a very knowledgeable owner and is the finest example of the 95′ Inace Explorer built to date. She had a demanding design specification with extensive custom details in the layout and storage and only top quality equipment and systems were used throughout the vessel. .
“Impetus” has the room and feel of a much larger vessel. Her hull and bulb design were done by Bray Yacht Design and tank tested for efficiency and sea kindliness. The 80,000+ nm she has cruised to date have proven the outstanding results of the tank tests.
She can accommodate 8 owners/guests in 4 staterooms when the skylounge is in VIP Stateroom mode and 3 crew in the 2 crew quarters. Her large sky lounge has the versatility to be used as a 4th queen VIP stateroom, an office, workout area or home theater. The custom cherry interior was designed by Kirschstein Design and features arched doors and extensive use of burled wood inlays and exotic horn details. The flybridge is massive and has a full size hot tub, large gas BBQ, wet bar with U-line ice maker, refrigerator, large dining table and very comfortable forward navigation seating.
“Impetus” was designed and built to be highly reliable, comfortable and low maintenance. Extensive use of stainless steel, granite and other design elements creates a yacht feel while reducing man hours in brightwork and other non-essential upkeep. She is fully equipped for world cruising with an extensive navigation system, a huge amount of storage and room for lots of toys including a Mini Cooper.
“Impetus” is the only vessel in her class to have a Quantum Marine MAGLift Zero Speed stabilizer system. This system is normally only found on a few megayachts and military vessels. Replacement value on this system is in excess of $1,000,000.
“Impetus” is a proven Explorer with several trans-Atlantic crossings, trips to Alaska and a rounding of the horn of South America. She was built to ABS and MCA class and is current in both classes. “Impetus” is a one owner vessel and has never been chartered.

Engine Room
MAIN ENGINES
Two (2) Caterpillar engine models 3406 DITA, 450 BHP @ 1,800 RPM, 24V electric start. Each engine has a Racor fuel filter, Mod. 75-900 MA dual filter. Each filter can run the system and you can switch between the filters while the engine is operating. The filters have drip trays under them for ease of cleaning and are easily seen during engine room inspections. Each engine has its own starting bank consisting of 2 8D batteries. The main engines start batteries can be paralleled between main engines or generators. The main engine starting banks can be charged via a charger or an alternator. The engines have the deep crank case oil pans which allow for oil changes every 400 hours and are easily accessible from all sides.
Impetus has had oil analyses run on every oil change from launch and has always been serviced by Caterpillar; she is fully up to date on all service requirements.
The main engines have 9000 hours each, and the vessel has done 80,000 nm approximately.
Total gal burned for both engines and one generator:
8.5 knots =12 gph @ 1150 RPM
10 knots = 20 gph @ 1450 RPM
Total gal of fuel burned per engine for a total average for both engines per hour of 13.6 gal.
There is a .75 knot increase in speed when the stabilizers are not in operation. The stabilizers have been operated for a fraction of total hours underway, demonstrating Impetus’ inherent sea worthiness and comfort at sea.
TRANSMISSIONS AND RUNNING GEAR
Twin Disc Quickshift MGX 5114 DC reduction gears with a 3:50:1 ratio connected to 4″ stainless shafts with 5 blade propellers. There are manual shaft breaks on each shaft. The quick shift allows for excellent low speed control and smooth shifting with no vibration.
MAIN ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM:
Kobelt control system with stations in the wheelhouse and fly bridge. There are shift controls on the Kobelt SPA 10590 remote walk around with plug in stations on foredeck, wheelhouse and aft deck which allows you to control from either wing station, on the aft deck, on the foredeck and from the crow’s nest. The remote control also has helm control, bow and stern thruster controls. The length of cord will allow you to move along either wing station and to even control the boat from the dock when stern to. This is very handy in the Mediterranean when other vessels are leaving and pulling anchors. There are two remote controls, one with a long cord and one with a short cord. There is a direct manual control takeovers in the engine room. Main engines are 3406E, A rated with deep sumps for 400 hr oil changes and are are 30,000 hr before rebuild.
GENERATORS
Two (2) Caterpillar 40 kw gen sets with sound shields, 24 volt starter and vibration mounts. Each gen set has 1 Racor fuel filter, model 900. This uses the same filter cartridge as the main engines. The filter has a vacuum gauge. The filters have drip trays under them for ease of cleaning and are easily seen during engine room inspections. Each gen set has its own starting bank consisting of 2 8D batteries. The gen set start batteries can be paralleled to gen or main engines. The generators banks can be charged via a charger or alternator.
The gen sets are easily accessible from all sides.
The generators have the deep oil sump option.
MAIN ELECTRICAL PANEL AND SYSTEM
240/120 Volt 60 cycle 3 phase system.
The panel is fed by 2x 100 amp shore cords with Glendinning system and two Cat generators
The shore power is fed through a 40 KVA Atlas power conversion system.
The main panel is a split buss system which allows you to run the ship off one or two cords, one or two gen sets or a combination of them. The generators are sized so that one set can run the vessel under normal use. There is a ground monitoring system integrated into the panel.
The system is backed up by a Xantrex Trace 4000 inverter system which is fed from a 10 8D battery bank (house system). The bank can be charged via the inverter or the main engines. The inverter feeds a selection of house services including all of the refrigerators and freezers on the vessel, selected lights and power outlets through out the vessel. The inverter allows you to go dead ship for over 72 hours giving you the ability to shut down all systems when at anchor or dock and leave the vessel for shore excursions secure in the knowledge that basic systems are operating and all food is being kept to temperature. Should you lose gen power while at sea you have a extended amount of time to bring systems back on line while still operating on selected AC power systems.
The DC panel is separate from the AC panels.
All pump controls are remote located in their own control panels.
FUEL SYSTEM
An Alfa Laval Model MIB 303 fuel cleaner is integrated into the fuel transfer system and mounted on a drip tray. All fuel can be transferred through the Alfa Laval from and to all tanks. The Alfa Laval system can be set up on long trips to draw fuel from the two main tanks (4500 gal each) to feed the day tank, the day tank will then overflow back to the main tanks to create a continually circulating system of clean fuel and assures you that your day tank is always cool and full. The day tank holds 1000 gals and will supply fuel for 44 hours at a cruising speed of 10 knots. This allows you to transfer fuel every 24 hours and still have a 20 hours in reserve. The Day tank is set between the main fuel tanks and surrounded by fuel on 3 sides. The fuel in the larger tanks acts as a heat sink to help keep the fuel in the day tank cool and at a constant temperature for maximum efficiency of the engines. The fuel transfer value system is easy to use and there is a tray mounted above it for storage of small items.
There is a total of 5 fuel tanks which include: two main tanks and a day tank in the engine room and also a mid tank and a forward tank. Fuel can be transferred using a 120 volt high speed pump @ 68 gpm, the Alfa Laval or a 24 volt back up pump @15 gpm. The vessel can receive fuel from a truck at over 80 gpm.
Tanks are as follows:
Forward tank 1500 gal
Midships tank 2200 gal
Port main tank 4500 gal

SOUND CONTROL
A great deal of attention was paid to the sound and vibration control.
The engine room has a number of sound control systems and design features in place. The forward bulkhead between the engine room and the master cabin is a dual bulkhead creating a 1m deep fuel tank system. This provides double sound bulkheads and the fuel acts as a sound deterrent.
All steel in the engine room except the bilge is coated with “Dum dum” a vibration, sound and moisture barrier. A lead foam insulation was then installed and followed by an aluminum sound barrier finish. Above the engine room on the saloon sole there is another layer of “Dum dum” and then a sheet of lead glued to it then foam and carpet.
The master stateroom aft bulkhead also has a lead foam barrier.
The main engines and all reciprocating equipment are soft mounted, pumps are soft mounted in catch trays which are again soft mounted. There are flexible connections between the equipment and fixed piping.

The CQR runs centerline forward on the main deck and clears the bulb when dropped or retrieved under normal conditions. The Navy anchor is mounted in an anchor pocket on the port side with the chain running through a 6″ stainless tube. Both anchors work well in a broad spectrum of bottoms. This system gives you the choice to pick the best anchor for the bottom as your primary holder. The fact that one anchor is running off the vessel from a higher position also means there is less of a chance of the chains rapping. The higher CQR is also much easier to run a snubbing line to.
There are 2 x port and stb large stainless cleats with two stainless line guides per side.
Both anchors have an integrated fresh water wash down system. The chains are self stacking, the spurling tube is stainless and bell shaped and there is a minimum of 2′ drop between the deck and the chain. There is easy access to the chain lockers from the forward crew quarters.
The anchors can be controlled by deck switches, a plug in remote control on fore deck or from the wheelhouse.
There is a forward mast with enclosed steps that lead to a crows nest. The mast can be lowered using the crane to facilitate hauling using a travel lift. The mast holds navigation lights and flood lights to illuminate the foredeck and the boat deck. There is a dedicated anchor handling light in the the bell support. There is a large 3000 pound Marquip crane with extended reach for off loading the Mini Cooper on center line. There are stairs on the Stb side that lead down to the large boat deck. The deck is painted non-skid for safety and easy of up keep. There is a raised toe rail around the foredeck capped with a polished stainless pipe. The stainless hand rail is set inside of the toe rail which allows the toe rail to act as a rub rail without affecting the hand rail.
BOAT DECK
The boat is is 19’6″ on center line and 22’9″ wide on the inside of the bulwarks.
On the forward bulkhead there are two removable aluminum deck boxes and center line there is the main access to the crew quarters.
