We are happy and a little sad to put S/V Mariposa up for sale…
The story… We are Phil and Michelle, prior owners of a hopping busy soup and sandwich cafe in BC,
Canada that put everything up
for sale to go sailing in the
Bahamas. We traveled across
Canada to buy a
boat in Saint John, New Brunswick. We purchased a 1988
Catalina 34 Tall Rig named Mariposa from prior Canadian owners who had just come back from doing the exact same trip that we were planning on doing. On October 16, 2017 we set sail south, travelling along the
ICW on foul days and the open Atlantic on the nicer days all the way south to West Palm Beach,
Florida. We made it to the
Bahamas December 24th, 2017.
As April approached and after an awesome cruising season, we decided we had to do one more season in the Bahamas. We changed our plans of sailing back to Canada and put Mariposa up
on the hard in Indiantown, Florida. We began a long road trip home excited to see
family and friends.
As luck would have it, the only company that Michelle and I would love to have an opportunity to
work for posted two management positions on their Facebook page. When we got back to BC, we applied for the positions, went through the interview process and both received job offers!
For this bitter/sweet reason, we are selling Mariposa. Mariposa is located in Indiantown, Florida. With a small amount of preparation,
provisioning and delivering her back down the St. Lucy River to West Palm Beach and re-stepping the
mast, she will be ready to return to the Bahamas again!
Mariposa is a Canadian registered boat and therefore we are hoping to find a Canadian buyer as the sale of the boat would be considerably easier and have a lot less hoops to jump through. We would need to remove our personal items from the boat but all else goes.
Please forgive the lack of “Boat
purchasing photos” as we didn’t intend for this to happen this way. We will post all photos we feel might give a true representation of Mariposa. As well, feel free to check out “S/V Mariposa” on Facebook to view the boat (pictures and videos) and the awesome 2017 cruising season we had.
Who’s ready to sail Mariposa to the Bahamas for 2018?

* ****The aft cabin was our “garage”. Here, the prior owner purchased stacking plastic Rubber Maid totes that he stocked with the spare essentials for the boat while cruising. Hard to put a
price on this…but it was sure nice to have a spare
fuel pump after we made the
Gulf Stream crossing when it died 3 miles out. While this garage doesn’t have everything, it has a lot of the essentials.
Things we would consider before setting off had we come back for the second season…
* Requires
bottom paint and zincs.
* Inspect Cutlass Bearing
* Replace
lifelines (Dyneema or Stainless)
*
Repairs to
Dodger and
Bimini for one more season
* Minor fabric
repairs to Mack Pack system (worn areas)
* Have Indiantown
mechanic inspect/service Universal 25XP prior to next
cruise
* Consider
purchasing Chart Plotter for next season or continue to use
Navionics on
Cell phone
* Repack Stuffing Box while
on the hard
*** PRIOR TO LAUNCH - REPLACE
RAW WATER INTAKE HOSE BEHIND THE
RAW WATER SCREEN AND SPEEDO UP FWD (both were removed in case of large amounts of water getting inside the boat while on the hard) ***
*** AFTER LAUNCH - IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FORWARD SPEEDO AND RAW WATER SUPPLY LINE FOR
LEAKS. IMMEDIATELY INSPECT THE STUFFING BOX FOR RATE OF DRIPS (should be 1 drip every 30 seconds) ***
