With every trip we make to the "Buddha"-- it gets better and better. We just had the fuel tanks cleaned and the fuel polished. Added/improved the fuel distribution system at the same time. Other tweaks and refinements.

Loaded the battens in the main (what a sail). Checked the MSD Type III, Holding Tank, etc., etc.. Then, we had a very good sea trial. Beta Engine works flawlessly (it is the best! and their support - 2nd to none!) We have the prop pitched to hit 1800-2200 RPM max (best cruise fuel flow about 3ltr/hr), and we hit 7.1 kts -- just what we wanted. To check engine full range RPM (for the survey) - we had to run in neutral - 3300 RPM and the Beta was smooth as silk (remember--less than 300 hours on this baby).

Unfortunately, I think the buyer was; "not quite ready," (just my opinion). He expressed high interest (loved the details - finish -equipment --etc.). But, his experience in sailboats was low (his admission), and he wanted to leave in a month. That seemed just too soon, IMHO. I suggested he get a minimum of 20 days of sailing in various conditions - minimum 4 hours a day--on the water, before pushing off, plus a minimum of 1 hour a day "in the books." There is a lot of equipment when you look at the listing.

Several other potential owners on the horizon -we keep the faith.

All things happen for a reason.

If interested - reach out and make a contact. Here, the broker, FB, etc.

Showings can be arranged - and the DWY boat show is soon too.

Regards, Jim

BTW - the Spectra RO will need a new membrane -we have it "covered."

Sounds like a good Sea Trial. My guess is one of your potential buyers will snap this up.

We're still looking for a HC41T that may not be listed on the market.

Thank you

Another good boat for the price. had lots of charter use, but the design is one of the best ever for a couple or three to go long distances. Doesn't say how old the sails are. If the engine went kaput the sails did too.

you need to like doing varnish work to keep the cockpit going. The keel, cutter rig and sprit are great for long distance running on a westward circumnavigation.

Pretty sure that one was hurricane damaged, no hull damage just dismasted and flooded enough to ruin engine.
But new mast and rigging and new engine, and still in pretty damn good shape compared to others on the market, and priced realistically for the circumstances.
Hans christian woodwork maintenance is not for the lazy, for those who are is why hunters are popular.
