Xanthus for sale.



Xanthus is a Contessa 26 built in Ontario in 1980. She's in great shape. We did a major refit in Hawai'i 2012/2013 She comes with her trusty companion, "Lucy" a 10' 4” nesting dinghy with sailing rig. The dinghy is a Danny Greene chameleon design. We are currently in Vava'u Tonga and have been sailing Xanthus around the pacific for the past 4 years

If you don't mind my asking, why are you selling her?

[svxanthus]

Hi, We're selling Xanthus because we love sailing, we've been cruising the Pacific for the past 4 years on Xanthus, and recently have been thinking of maybe adding a child or two. So our plans are to sell Xanthus and build a little bit bigger boat so that if we do have kids we can still be sailing.

I can say after doing a lot of similar work on a Triton that you could blow $13k pretty damn quick and not have much to show for it. AKA this might be a really good deal for someone. Nice boat. Nice dinghy.
