Photos from 2017:

The vessel is currently in the Marquesas but I intend on returning to it end of February/beginning of March and sailing it to Hawaii. That's about the maximum amount of time I have available to be away so must sell either in F.P. or Hawaii. There is a likely chance that I'll give it to a broker for resale once I make it there.

This boat took me from San Francisco down the coast to La Paz, Mexico and across to French Polynesia. Upon my arrival in F.P. I was forced to return to southern California to care for my dying mother (she passed in 12/2019) so the boat has been in hard storage. The Covid outbreak withheld my return in 2020 and at this point simply too much of my life has been changed to accommodate a return to my original intention of a circumnavigation.

The boat worked great throughout my trip. At one point the rudder attachment to the post failed along the coast of Baja so it was professionally repaired and reinforced in La Paz, much stronger now than it was before. The Hydrovane easily guided me the rest of the way down the coast and up into La Paz.

Reducing asking price to $34,900. Negotiable, if you are willing to buy it where is in French Polynesia then that's worth a discount.

She is a beautiful boat, best of luck selling her.

Has she been imported?

How was the new teak deck fastened? Screws? Epoxy? Or some combination thereof?

Sorry for a late response, she has not yet been imported but I'm happy to work with any interested party to get that done. I'd be willing to share on the costs for doing so

The teak deck was secured using screws with liberal application of caulking

I wouldn't make too many concessions, the boat w/equipment is worth more than what you ask. IMHO.

Thank you, I appreciate that and agree. I have a tight logistical situation that has necessitated the sale. Once I move it to Hawaii I'll be less willing to sell it below market.

I am reducing my asking price to $29,900.

I've had a lot of interest but unfortunately due to Covid French Polynesia has not yet begun allowing traffic again. Hopefully that will change in a couple months.


I am adjusting my plans for this a bit. Rather than sailing her to Honolulu, I'll be taking her to Tahiti to be put onto the market. Hopefully within 4-8 weeks of French Polynesia opening I'll be back on the boat and 2-3 weeks after that she'll be on the market in Tahiti.

Yes it is, my flight back to the Marquesas is July 8. From there I'll carry out some maintenance on the boat, sail it back to Tahiti and leave it with a broker. If you want to make an offer where it is in the Marquesas, I'd be very open to negotiation as my time is extremely limited at the moment.
