1973 Rampart 48 Wild Goose (formerly Aristobatta, formerly Lady Mary Ann) is a 1973 Rampart 48 designed by Horace Desty and built by the Rampart Boat Building Company in the United Kingdom. After thirteen years of ownership and numerous significant upgrades, the sellers have placed her on the market as they prepare to down-size. She is currently docked in Newport, Rhode Island.   The length over all of this vessel is 48; the beam is 12; she draws 41. Bridge clearance is 28. Her frames are Canadian rock elm and her planking is 1 Iroko. She is ballasted by a partial steel keel in addition to internal ballast. Wild Goose is powered by twin 1973 Mercedes Benz OM 352 diesels delivering 125 HP each. The starboard engine, replaced about 1976, has 10,000 hours. The port engine has 12,000 hours. She is driven by three blade bronze propellers. The original generator has been removed from the boat. Accompanying the boat is a portable 2016 Yamaha EF2000iS generator. Wild Goose cruises at 8 to 9 knots at 1200 RPMs consuming about 3 gallons per hour. Maximum speed is 15 knots at 2800 RPMs. New Vetus waterlift mufflers were installed in 2011.   In 2016 the wheel house was completely replaced by Tern Boatworks of Nova Scotia. Construction materials included two layers of marine plywood, epoxy painted on the interior as well as ¼ mahogany on the outside. The original mahogany beams were retained for use in the wheel house ceiling. Custom made aluminum frame windows were fabricated to replace the originals. See the accompanying photographs of the rebuild.   The teak decks are 1 ¼ thick and widths vary from 3 ¼ on the foredeck to 3 ½ moving aft. The teak is finished with seven coats of Coelan.   The 24 volt electrical system is adaptable to both American and European electrical systems. The boat is wired for both 30 and 50 amp service.   In 2011 a number of upgrades were completed in preparation for her cruise of the English coastline, the eastern United States and the Canadian Maritimes. New upholstery was added throughout the entire interior. The galley was fitted out with a new refrigerator/freezer and a new three burner stove and oven by SMEV. The galley counter top was replaced in 2016.   Tankage includes one 350 gallon fuel tank that was cleaned and inspected in October 2016. There is a 300 gallon water tank and a 25 gallon holding tank.   This is a three cabin, two head motor yacht that accommodates six in comfort and privacy. There is a double berth in the focsle, two single berths forward of the wheel house as well as the owners cabin aft featuring a center line queen berth. The owners head is aft of the galley/dinette area; the guest head is forward of the wheel house. Comfort is maintained in cooler
