$399,000
Incredible in many ways, 4 cabin 4 head, skippers’ quarters and quarter birth. No Generator runs completely off grid on Solar and battery. Decisions made on this boat have always been about keeping things simple, reliable, and easy to repair. I can potentially stay on as needed for orientation, delivery, or improvement projects please read and watch the video and then ask questions.
With the Balmar high output alternators and 2240 watts of solar combined the batteries can be replenished faster than any generator, over 6000 watts is achievable charging the 20.5 kilowatt hours of lithium storage in as quick as 4 hours. The Mabrew heat pumps provide AC or heat to the cabins all night without a problem. You can wash and dry a moderate sized load of laundry in 3.5 hours and with the clean start you don’t even need laundry detergent. One water heater runs on 12 volt and the other on AC both can heat your water off battery power. With the generator removed and new lighter equipment she is over 1500 pounds lighter than stock, sails fast and light on the water. Convection oven and induction stove make Propane use optional currently a total of 5 burners, 2 ovens, and 2 air fryers. Sleep soundly at night with the 100 pound polished stainless steel Ultra Anchor & Ultra swivel on 3/8 (10mm) chain. Starlink is already built in. The front cockpit is a game changer and always the favorite place to spend time relaxing or on watch, a very safe way to access the front of the boat underway and fantastic for ventilation. The new decking is by “Safefloors” better than teak, soft and doesn’t feel hot. Twin 57 hp Yanmars and Yanmar SD-60 saildrives, Seawater pro water maker (18gph, upgradable to 36gpm), New center consol dingy 25 horse, (Everything just serviced).Hauled out currently for sail drive service, and fresh bottom paint. Nearly every component is newer than stock, and many things are new in 2022 and 2023. She sails great, easily hitting 8 to 10 knots. She does 6.5 to 7 knots on one motor. Starboard motor is at 2288 hours, Port motor is at 2369 hours. Raymarine instruments and 12.5 chart plotter. On board there are spare parts, tools, linens, Kitchen appliances, 4 paddle boards, ice maker, Magma barbecue and a lot more all included. You could bring your clothes and sail away.
There are still some projects, and this boat has history, so I have priced it accordingly. This boat survived Hurricane Irma it was reconditioned and has been sailing between the Caribbean and along the eastern seaboard since 2019. She looks a little rough cosmetically but is solid mechanically. The Mast is not a 48 mast but it has the original 48 sail. The mast is about 5 feet shorter currently about 69 ft. air draft. Her current rigging is solid and could run for years. There isn’t currently a Salon AC unit, one could easily be added, AC or DC depending on the use case of a new buyer. There is adequate room on the coach roof for 1000’s of watts of additional solar if desired. Also the current charge controllers could handle upgrading the existing panels to Bifacial upping solar to 3200 watts. She is still fully plumbed for a Generator so really an ideal set up for a conversion down the road to Ocean Volt electric and a split 12 volt /48 volt power system with a 48 volt DC generator.
