The following is from an article published in the Chattanooga City Scope Magazine about the owner, Vonna Wingfield, and her yacht the Southern Cross II: Vonna's 75-foot 2000 Bluewater yacht is a place for relaxing and entertaining. Starting on the upper deck, the navigation equipment and modern electronics guide the boat with GPS, radar and depth finder equipment. When it's not being used, the navigation equipment and monitors retract into the dash. The upper covered deck area with recessed lighting has a round table that seats eight people comfortably, and with additional side seating and space throughout the boat for entertaining, Vonna says that she has had up to 60 guests on the boat at one time. The deck also features a kitchenette area with an ice maker and refrigerator. A portion of the upper deck is uncovered for sunbathing. This area is stylishly decorated with animal-print area rugs that match the animal-print pillows found on the leather cushioned seats. While sunbathing or enjoying the covered deck, music can be heard through the boat's sound system. There are 10 speakers on the upper deck alone. Inside the boat, wall-to-wall bone colored carpeting as well as all custom drapery and bedding is found throughout. With a color scheme that includes shades of coral, rose, and blue as well as burgundy, purple, and green, the design is reminiscent of comfortable resort living. Each room has padded leather walls and ceiling, and light Maplewood trim and cabinetry is found throughout the boat. Recessed lighting is used in every room as it is on the covered deck. In the living area is a bone-colored leather sofa as well as bar stools and wicker chairs that complement the relaxed living style. The sofa also pulls out into a bed to accommodate guests. A burgundy area rug and rose print porcelain plates above the control center tie in beautifully with the color scheme. A nautical wall ornament is on display along with decorative jars and interesting porcelain pieces. Between the galley and the living area, a TV is tucked above the counter for access from either room. The control center in the living area allows the boat to be controlled from downstairs via remote control, although usually the control center on the top deck is used. The galley has everything Vonna needs - a dishwasher, trash compactor,garbage disposal, four-burner stove, full refrigerator, microwave and convection oven. It all fits comfortably in the space, making it fully-functional. The Corian countertops, light Maplewood and recessed lighting give the galley area a light and open feel. Pops of red in the place settings, the solid brass lighting fixture over the table, and the custom cushioning on the seats make for a stylish dining area. The master bedroom on the Southern Cross II is spacious and also fully functional. With a queen size bed and vanity area for dressing, Vonna relaxes comfortably. The room features closets and storage, a TV, illuminating lights, recessed lighting and light Maplewood trim. The bedding is custom to match the drapery found in the rest of the boat. Mirrors around the bed establish a special ambiance for the room and reflect the dcor beautifully. Underneath the bed is one of the two 450 Cummins diesel engines that power the boat. The master bath features ceramic countertops, a full-size shower, and all brass fixtures. A five-foot swimming platform can be reached through the master suite on the main level. This deck features two gas grills and has recessed lighting in the overhang for enjoying this area in the evening and at night. The second bedroom also functions as a media room of sorts, where an Xbox is frequently hooked up to a flat screen TV. Also in this room, the paisley comforter and curtains are custom made. A closet allows for storage, and like the rest of the boat, leather padded walls, recessed lighting and Maplewood trim tie the room together. A space that Vonna is proud of, the VIP guest area on the 3rd level, features a queen size bed with custom bedding and coordinating custom curtains. With a sitting area for dressing, the room also has two port windows, a recessed cabinet that holds a TV, and ample closet space for guests. The full bath has brass fixtures and a full shower where the door circles the shower to provide an enclosed tube. While showing the bath, Vonna declares the shower as "the Beam me up Scotty shower," referencing the popular Star Trek show where Captain Kirk commands his chief engineer to transport him back to the Starship Enterprise.
