ATTENTION:
FLORIDA BAREBOAT CHARTER CERTIFIED CAPTAINS WITH CREW; FREE use of nice
seaworthy 33 foot yawl for 2/3 weeks!!! (yes this is a
delivery, but with great perks) She is a
shallow draft, swing
keel (centerboard)
boat, designed specifically for use in the islands, where you can pass through shallow inlets and
anchor in private protected lagoons where
full keel boats cannot. You can avoid the crowded
anchorages. If you have ever wondered what its like to sail a
classic mizzen masted
boat this is it, from Port St. Joe
Florida to the
Bahamas, a journey of about a week. The boat is USCG documented.
I am a US citizen, however my fiance cannot get a US visa, so we need to meet you in
Nassau. Not only that, she was recently mugged here in Lima and refuses to travel without me. We have open tickets already purchased. You would pick up the boat in Port St Joe, Florida, sail down to Fort Meyers,
motor sail through the Ockechobee Waterway to Stewart, and cross the
Bimini Straight. You would be free to set your own schedule, and once arrived explore the
Bahamas at your leisure for a period of time visting all the islands and
fishing your dinner. The boat is loaded with snorkeling and exotic
fishing gear. The
galley has a new TFal frying pan and pressure cooker.
Mechanically, she has a newish (300 hrs)
Yanmar 3YM30F, the latest, greatest fresh
water cooled, economic and reliable 3 cyl.
diesel engine out there. It only uses between 1/4 and 1/2 gallon/hour. She underwent a total
refit in 2007 and has a porcelain Sea Traveler fresh
water head,
Origo swedish alcohol
stove, newly packed stuffing box, new propshaft and prop, clean bottom, 12V fridge/freezer, and Mermaid central
air conditioning. All
interior wiring was redone, both 12 and 110V. There is a 1300 watt
inverter on board. The
mechanic who installed the
engine is giving it a final checkover now and you can contact him regarding the general
survey conditon of the boat. She holds 20 gallons of fresh drinkable water and 30 of
fuel. The
interior layout is set up for two or three people, one of the two bunks is only five foot and the other is about 5/10, however the forecabin is spacious and can accomadate two with ease, its more than 6/2 up there. If you know about boats, you know that Sea Traveller,
Origo,
Yanmar, and Mermaid are the state of the art
equipment for cruising yachts today.
Google the 33 Glander Tavana Yawl and you will find photos, specifications and
history of the manufacture. Please contact me by private
email or PM and we can discuss and exchange further terms and details. My teaching
contract ends in a few weeks so we are eager to go. thanks
