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 décor
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.
