[SOLD] Cabot 36

[F27Firefly]

1978 Cabot 36 “Makina” For Sale


This classic Ted Brewer bluewater boat is beautifully maintained and has seen many major upgrades over the past 5 years. Unfortunately recent health issues now force a halt to the cruising dream so some of the upgrade projects require completion.

The Cabot 36 is a Canadian built, cutter rigged, blue water cruiser designed for the North Atlantic. She is frequently found on lists of the best off-shore cruising boats. She is ruggedly built with an Airex cored hull. Makina is hull number 49 and is one of the last Cabots built. With the completion of a few projects she is ready to fulfill your cruising dreams and will take you anywhere in the world.

Included is a complete set of Ted Brewer’s original design drawings along with all the original sales documents. I am the second owner of the boat and she was purchased new and then sailed very infrequently by several generations of the same family. Makina has spent her entire life in fresh water, originally in Georgian Bay and now in Lake Ontario. She has been fully covered every winter. Included in the sale is a storage cradle.

Last fall I began the installation of a brand new Beta 38 HP diesel engine. ($14000) The engine room was completely sanded, cleaned and repainted with Bilgecoat prior to the new engine going in. The engine is in place but requires completion of the installation. All new water strainer, vented loop, muffler, instrument panel, wiring harness etc are included in the sale. The only thing missing are new throttle cables.

Lovely….

But what’s up with the WHITE engine….i thought Betas were RED?

[F27Firefly]

When you order a new Beta engine they give you the option of having it painted red or white. I decided that I liked white better....
