A drastic change in plans (we're moving to Europe) means that we are selling our new-to-us liveaboard dream boat. We bought her in October 2023, had her in the yard for 2 months where we had:
- the bottom stripped, sealed with 5 coats of Interlux 2000e followed by 5 coats of Trinidad HD;
- seacocks replaced with bronze Grocos;
- a new water strainer for the Yanmar installed;
- a new exhaust hose installed;
- the rudder pulled, repaired some chipped glass and had a new rudder bearing custom made and installed;
- all hatches replaced with new Goiot hatches imported from France;
- a new dashboard built with new Garmin electronics;
- 600 ah of LiFePo4 installed for the house, plus a 1000W inverter;
- Starlink installed on a custom mast;
- 230W hard-panel solar installed on dinghy davit arch, plus 800W of flexible solar on Bimini and Dodger;
- a new manual toilet and shower head installed in the v-berth head;
- shower pumps rebuilt;
- original curtains replaced with custom-made drapes;
- salon sole sanded to bare wood and revarnished.
Projects we were going to address before heading to the Caribbean this fall:
- rewire the mast and install new Garmin gWind Transducer and new masthead tricolor light;
- replace sanitary hose in salon head (we only use that head to shower);
- remove Force10 gas stove and replace with gimbaled induction hob (currently using single burner induction hob);
- service built-in watermaker (we are currently using a portable watermaker).
We have been cruising The Bahamas for 4 months, and plan continuing to do so until we head back to Florida in May/June to sell our boat and move to Europe. It took us over a year to find this boat and waited nearly 2 months for the previous owner to bring her up from the USVIs to Florida (work prevented us going to get her). Since we know this is a boat that rarely comes on the market we want to give the same opportunity to her next owner: wait for us to bring her back to Florida or come to The Bahamas and continue cruising her here (or take her south!).
In return for a full-price purchase, we'll include the majority of cruising equipment we have on the boat, including:
SeawaterPro portable water maker (12gph) - only 4 months old
Yamaha generator - 4 months old
Dometic 12v fridge/freezer - 4 months old
EcoFlow solar generator 400W solar panels - 4 months old
Bluetti solar generator 200W solar panels - 1 year old
4 x 100W SunPower flexible panels - 4 months old
9ft AB RIB plus 9.8hp Tohatsu 4-stroke - 10 years old
