Walrus is in Alameda, Ca. , San Francisco’s East Bay, with a transferable slip . Slip fees are approximately $280. per month.
Beautiful, heavily built, full keel pilot cutter, aft hung rudder, custom rigged as a Chinese Junk Sloop. IMHO Walrus may be one of the finest options for a solo sailor or couple out there. This boat is well equipped and more than capable of sailing anywhere her captain desires in safety, ease and comfort. Her design is based on Lynn and Larry Pardey’s Serrafyn as well as other Lyle Hess designs.
Aquarius Pilot Cutters rarely come on the market. This one is being offered far below market value in the hopes that she goes to someone who can really appreciate her.
Yamaha high thrust 9.9 outboard with electronic ignition and hydraulic mount: practically brand new, approximately 15 hours. Carburetor and fuel system just flushed and serviced. The motor looks and runs like brand new. Walrus came from the factory set up for an outboard. No diesel was ever installed, and there are no motor mounts or prop shaft. One could be installed if so desired.
Ratcliff self steering wind vane with Stainless Steel trim tab. Installed , and working well.
There is room for a portable potty or composting head in a purpose built spot under the forward double berth.
Beautiful Tanbark, flat cut Chinese Junk sail w/ wood boom, yard and battens. Excellent condition
Freestanding Aluminum mast, mast step and partners are extraordinarily well done.
35 lb. CQR anchor w/ chain and nylon rode.
3 x group 24 batteries w/ charger
10 Bronze Perko opening ports
Interior:
new galley cabinetry , folding navigation desk , saloon table cabinet drawers , brand new cushions.
The deck has brand new tread master.
The fresh water system needs to be hooked up. I have just purchased a whale foot pump , faucet and Plastimo 25 liter flexible tank that will go with the boat.
Navigation lights: the stern and masthead light need to be wired up. The other nav lights work as they should.
West Marine VHF radio
Teak binocular box , with a nice pair of Olympus Binocs.
Walrus is an extremely seaworthy , beautiful and unique vessel , that is built like a tank and can sail away TODAY.
Asking price: $12,999. or a reasonable best offer
Feel free to ask any and all questions, and to set up an appointment to see her. I am available to show her at any time.
She has over 6 foot headroom and is a very comfortable live aboard as well.

Transferable slip in Alameda, Ca.
