An Explanation of names: Viking Yachts, Princess Yachts and Viking Sport Cruisers (VSC)

In 1995 Viking Yachts, legendary for building sport fishing boats, saw increasing U.S. demand for a sporty European motor yacht. Viking partnered with the high-end U.K. builder, Princess Yachts, to bring their boats into the U.S. under the Viking brand. It was named the Viking Sport Cruiser (VSC). Thus in 1996 the first Viking Sport Cruiser was imported into the U.S. By the later 1990’s this collaboration expanded to 13 models from 40′ to 84′. Beginning in model year 2011 Viking and Princess changed the Viking Sport Cruiser name back to Princess Yachts for all boats imported into the Western Hemisphere. Princess’s parent company, luxury-goods powerhouse LVMH, owns many brands including Louis Vuitton, De Beers, and Feadship Yachts. As of 2017 Viking Sport Cruisers continues as the distributor under the Viking Yachts umbrella to import Princess Yachts.

The three zone HVAC system drained into one central pipe and exited below the transom.
Exploration of the HVAC drainage system required opening panels provided by the manufacturer and also the creation of new access panels.
This was the condition of the main HVAC drain pipe aft of where the three HVAC zones merged in a manifold. It was only 15 years old.
This was the condition of the manifold where the three HVAC drain lines merged into one large drain pipe. It was only 15 years old.
Creating access to replace all of these lines took a lot of time.
New access panels were created from the origin below the galley floor where all three HVAC units are located and everywhere aft.
A boat surveyor will not perform this type of invasive investigation before a boat is purchased. However consider the water output of three HVAC units can exceed the capacity of all bilge pumps. It can lead to a boat sinking if an old pipe silently bursts behind an inaccessible bulkhead.
All remaining lines for the three HVAC units were replaced.
The fire suppression system was replaced in 2015. It was serviced and inspected in 2016 and 2018. View in the engine room.
