Looking for 40-ish CC

[btasquared]

I'm asking for a bit of help from the community: my wife and I are looking for a CC in the 38 to 40- foot range. I came across a really interesting boat with an aft cabin that's only accessible from the cockpit, i.e. no walk-thru from the main saloon. My problem is that I cannot recall the make of the boat and can't find it on yachtworld. Does anyone know what it might be?? Thank you!

There was one advertised in Fiji the other day (I think it was Fiji but if not one of the islands) the couple had done a few circumnavigations and were on their last trip before retiring. Seemed like a good deal except I’m looking for one that is walk through. I think they wanted 80’s for it.

Could be a Van De Stadt design. A phoenix maybe?

Are you still looking?
Where are you?
There’s a 12m Westerly Oceanlord that’s for sale in Ouistreham, Normandy. It’s a cc with aft two-bunk walk-thru to the ‘owner’s suite’ complete with lockers, hanging locker, two seater sofa and en-suite heads. Lots of teak throughout below. It’s a classic hand-made world cruiser - radar, wind gen, solar panels, sonic anti-foul etc.

Thanks Geoff, I’m in Australia. Unfortunately waiting for finance to free (probably just after Christmas) up but in the mean time I’m doing a lot of looking (not at the actual boats) on the net. I’m other words getting feel for what’s there and costs. So I’ll see if I can find the Westerly.

The boat the op was looking for is/was on boats.com in Fiji.

Cool. Oz is a long way from France....

Travelled around France two years ago in a car and caravan. Would love to go back there as it’s a beautiful place. Contrary to what we heard the people were really friendly.

I’ve never had a problem with the French - they’re a proud people which some misinterpret for arrogance or unfriendliness. I’m perhaps fortunate inasmuch as I speak the language with a degree of fluency that both surprises and delights French people I meet, but enough grandstanding! I hope you find a good boat.

Kelly Peterson 44 ?

It does have a “crawl space” between the two.. but perhaps easily missed due to its size?

Was it this one?
