Passagemaker 49-10 in Steel – Robert Beebe Design #112



MOJO is truly a “little ship” a “49-10 Passagemaker in Steel” with displacement of approximately 39 tons. She was custom designed as an around the world Passagemaker by noted naval architect Capt. Robert P. Beebe, author of “Voyaging Under Power” and former navigator aboard the USS Saratoga during WWII. Originally named "Sea Dog", she is listed as design #112 in Mystic Seaport Ships Plans Collection of the works of Robert P Beebe. She is powered by a single Cummins 6BTA5.9-M diesel engine coupled to a ZF BW-61 gear. Propulsion is via a 40” x 34” four blade propeller on a 3” stainless steel shaft. The rudder is aft hung on a 1” thick steel shoe giving full protection to the prop in the event of accidental grounding. Four fuel tanks carry approximately 1,440 gallons of diesel fuel giving a theoretical cruising range of 4,000 nm. Valving allows easy tank selection and a Gulf Coast fuel filtration system with dedicated recirculation pump makes it easy to keep fuel clean and fresh no matter how long it remains in the tanks. She is stabilized with trouble free paravane stabilizers using oversized Kolstrand “fish”. See http://www.kolstrand.com/products/stabilizers/ for detailed information about how these stabilizers work to reduce roll by 2/3rds on any point of sail at any speed. Ground tackle consists of a 110 lb Bruce anchor on 50’ of ½” chain and 200’ of aircraft grade ss 9/16” cable. Spare anchors include a large 100+lb Northill and a large Danforth.  An electric windlass with 3/4hp motor and wireless remote control makes for easy anchor retrieval and is also used as a deck winch for raising and lowering the 12’ Novurania inflatable dinghy with 25hp Yamaha outboard. A custom stainless steel aft swim platform and sturdy ladder allow convenient boarding from a dinghy.



MOJO is fully equipped for live-aboard cruising with LED lighting, a 2kw inverter, 3 heads, 3 air conditioners, 1,000 watts of solar panels, a large 1,050 a/h battery bank, a 9kw Kohler diesel generator and a 33 gph watermaker. She has a variable speed 5kw SeaPower generator belted to the front of the engine which provides 40 amps of 120v pure sine wave power at rpms above 1,200. The SeaPower will run air conditioning, 105 a/h battery charger and make hot water while underway. This eliminates generator running while underway and makes managing electrical power needs a snap. The solar panels minimize generator run time while at anchor. There is a commercial grade 4.5 cu ft. refrigerator, a 5 cu ft freezer, a 3-burner propane stove with oven and broiler and a microwave in the spacious galley. 



She’s safe, comfortable, and easy to maintain making her a great live-aboard vessel whether for part time or full time cruising anywhere in the world! Her systems have been well thought out and designed for reliability meaning minimal time is needed for maintenance! She cruises at 7.5 kts burning 2.7 gph making her economical to cruise. She’s an amazing little ship that draws stares and favorable comments everywhere! We hope you enjoy the photographs and consider MOJO for you next cruising adventure.
