LOWERING
PRICE
Re-listing Ahanan now at $60,000.
We think this is a lot of
bluewater boat for the
money, and doubtless one of the strongest in her class at any
price. She's in very good condition, and well loved. Her bilges, through-hulls, inside plates, welds and stringers are well coated and clean of
corrosion (subject to your surveyor’s confirmation, please).
Deck, topsides and below waterline plates are all well primed, coated, clean and with new zincs. She’s tight, bright, solid and dry.
There is quite a bit of
live-aboard and weather-oriented custom
canvas which is included from the original owners, though we have never made much use of it due to how we used (or didn’t use) the
boat. For instance, there are wonderful fore and aft custom awnings which are rigged from halyards and poles above the decks, perfect for longer periods at
anchor or dockside in sunny hot
weather. There is also a smaller, yet relatively large
cockpit canopy which is great for sleeping under in the
cockpit at
anchor in wet
weather or motoring on long windless hot passages (we did use this a lot). The boat has a wonderful
teak boom gallows. And there is a top shorter rear extension canopy running aft from the
dodger to the gallows, with zipped side
panels for bad weather enclosure while under way (nice feature, too, in cold weather).
There are a few
repair and
maintenance items justifying our decision to lower her price. E.g., she will soon need a relining for the
dodger; the
regulator for the Reflek
oil stove needs
service or replacement; some of the
deck teak will need attention; some stitching and new Velcro needed on the
mainsail cover.
Here's some of the
broker ad language, and some attached pictures (the two in the
water are from 2006) --
This beautiful solid centercockpit
cutter was constructed by Morvoran Seacraft in
England under Van de Stadt
license and design, and custom fitted to her original owners’ specifications. The vessel was completed and launched in 1992 and sailed across. Built and spec’ed for world cruising, she has a sturdy, functionally elegant and purposeful appearance, with well considered
live-aboard layout. Her rig is very strong, and she was built with full
steel liferails, flush decks fore and aft, a well protected cockpit with hard dodger and a 61hp
Lehman diesel with
ample power for extended motoring. Her sensible
cutter rig and large deck area make for effective and safe handling in a seaway. A roomy and private layout below is comfortable and practical for passagemaking and a joy to
live aboard while at anchor.
Accommodations
The
interior of this boat is much larger than it appears from the outside. Stepping aboard her is like stepping aboard a 40 footer.
From the
center cockpit one goes below and finds at the base of the
companionway the
galley to port and the
head compartment to starboard. Forward, one finds port and starboard settee/berths, with a dropleaf table mounted on the centerline. A V berth is further forward. Aft, a passageway through the
galley leads to the spacious master stateroom. This stateroom features a large double berth, dressing seat and lots of
storage.
The entire
interior is neat and tidy and well made, with lots of beautiful brightwork, including nav table, bulkheads, parquet sole, and with accents of painted tiles.
