Andale’s
owners are spry enough to take the stairs, but insisting on an elevator
serving all decks is their way of "planning for the inevitable." Thus, the lift
provides access to all levels, including the sun deck.
Codecasa specs hydraulic elevators supplied by Otis in Milan for
all its 50- to 60 meter yachts. The elevators are rated for five passengers or a
maximum weight of 880 pounds. The elevator itself weighs about 7,040 pounds. In
the planning, Andale’s owners wanted to make sure the space
and expense dedicated to the elevator served more than one purpose.
"The elevator can accommodate a food cart so that the crew can easily serve
on any deck," says Capt. Eddie Cooney. What’s more, the elevator accesses the
crew deck so that crates of provisions can more easily be transferred between
the galley and lower cold rooms and dry stores. To facilitate crew use, the
beautifully finished elevator car actually has two doors: its starboard door
opens for guests and on the main and crew decks a nearly invisible door can be
opened on the port side. A smart lock button keeps the crew from calling or
opening the elevator if it is in use by the owner’s party.
