 "Widgeon" was just hauled and had her complete out of water service performed including bottom paint, hull paint, boot stripe and prop speed on running gear and rudder! She was launched on 6/23 and brought back to her home dock on the South river.

"Widgeon" is considered to be one of the last fully restored original Dawn Cruisers left afloat.  She was the 301st. hull produced by Dawn Boat Corp. Classon Point, N.Y. and was primarily built as a pleasure express cruiser/commuter yacht. 

Widgeon has cruised all over the east coast, from the Great Lakes to the Florida coast. She has been a welcomed sight on the Chesapeake Bay for the past sixty plus years. Widgeon is truly a work of beauty and always is the center of attention in every port visited. One of the best features about Widgeon ( which is extremely hard to find today in a yacht of her vintage and age ) is the fact that she is almost entirely original. Her arrangements remain intact from her stained leaded glass liquor cabinet doors to her 4 foot solid brass engine gear shift levers.

All of her modern equipment has been installed keeping in mind her vintage style, out of sight and without destroying her classic design. Even the installation of her diesel engines and instruments were done without sacrificing her classic look. The new instrument control panels, with all the "bells and whistles", were synchronized with the original instruments and discreetly placed on the back of a locker door. This allowed for easy viewing when needed and out of sight when the yacht was in competition. 

In addition, all three self contained A/C systems were located and placed in such positions as to make them almost invisible. This holds true with other equipment such as refrigerator, microwave, VHF, Inverter, electrical panel etc. 

This web site is only a fraction of the information about WIDGEON. Buyers are invited to make an appointment and to visit the yacht currently located on the South River, Edgewater, MD by calling Listing agent John Kaiser or contact your brokerage agent today! 

New listing as of 6/12/2021, more images and structural survey has been completed the week of 6/21/2021. Call us if interested in seeing her survey!

1995 Morgan Stowaway mainsail sloop

Listed on 10/11/2021, the "Galavant", a 1995 45' Morgan, is ready for your cruising adventures!

The "Galavant" can be inspected on land @ Bert Jabin Yacht Yard, on land as she was just fully serviced, bottom painted and hull was compounded and waxed! She is ready to go south again!

Here are "Galavant's" details and her Seller's comments:

Galavant is 45-foot Morgan sloop center-cockpit, built by Catalina in Florida in 1995. She was a single and sole owner boat before the current owners acquired her in September of 2020 (after taking some time off work during the pandemic to realize their dream of cruising the world for some years.) After a wonderful year of cruising down the East Coast and to the Keys and back, the current owners are unfortunately relocating for work and believe that it is too much boat for just occasional/weekend use. So, she is now ready for her new owners to come aboard and take her out on many more adventures!

The current owners have spent considerable time and effort refitting this worthy vessel to get her ready to sail down island and eventually to cross an ocean (should you so desire.) The original owner rarely utilized the boat, keeping it stored on the hard for the winter and her handsome appearance reflects this care and attention. The hull design by Nelson/Marek as well as her Morgan pedigree combine to make this boat not only a joy to sail, but an extremely comfortable home at sea.

Her clean lines and a new bottom job definitely catch the eye, and you’ll get many compliments on her look wherever you go. Stride down the open and navigable deck and you’ll notice that her standing and running rigging have both been completely replaced (with the work done by Annapolis Rigging.) The in-mast furling mainsail is easy to trim with all lines running to the cockpit, and the 135% genoa is a workhorse and will smoothly carry you to wherever you care to go. A new custom dodger and Bimini with crisp new canvas were designed and installed by a great local company, Yacht Canvas. The stainless steel dinghy davits system, outboard hoist, and solid lifelines were created by KATO Marine right down the street. She is outfitted with a brand new remote-controlled Maxwell windlass and capstan, oversized 65lb Mantus M1 anchor and 250ft of HT 5/8” chain rode to give you peace of mind during the strongest blows. A new Renogy solar system and new batteries keep the boat powered when at anchor, and new LED lights throughout the boat reduce the power draw. The engine and generator, with very low hours for a boat of its age, have both been serviced and various hoses, water pumps, macerators, and bilge pumps have been replaced. Bonus: you can even have AC at anchor!

Below you’ll find a wide open, yet cozy salon and u-shaped galley that is perfect for entertaining guests and fellow cruisers for many nights on the hook or at the dock. Cooking is a blast with the sprawling counter space, 3-burner stove and double sink. The forward guest v- berth is quite spacious and is also accessible to the forward guest (wet) head. The luxurious aft cabin hosts a queen island bed and vanity area with sink—but the biggest plus is the ensuite head with separate shower and tub!! The entire boat fills with light from its numerous port lights and hatches, and air flow is a breeze. Copious amounts of storage can be found throughout thew boat; in each cabin, the galley, in bilge lockers, as well as in the “garage” area opposite the engine room (which is easily accessible via detachable swing doors) and clean navigation panel. If relaxing is your goal, take your sundowners up to the center cockpit which is “high and dry” and drink in the 360 view from the top, or lounge on the aft sun deck with a book. This boat is truly a lovely place to call home as well as an exciting vessel to sail!

Stress Break is a family boat.  We’ve had 3 enjoyable years on this boat.  With 6 adults and my 3 granddaughters on board we’ve taken many local cruises to St. Michaels, Rock Hall, Annapolis, Solomon’s and many more.  A few trips were overnighters.

Some weekends are spent enjoying the quiet marina life and evening togethers with our friends on “C” Dock.

My Son and I took a trip from Kent Narrows to Va.Beach.  Docked at my sister’s house for the week and cruised back.  The seas got a little rough on trip especially on the way down.  We hit some waves up to 4 feet and took some spray over the bow but no worries.  Stress Break handled the rough weather very well with plenty of power to push right on thru.  Never once did we have any concerns.

She accelerates up on plane quickly and easily and will cruise all day at 28-30 mph burning 22-23 gallons per hour.  With the wind at you back and a favorable current she’ll top out at 44 mph (at a cost of 50-55 gallons per hour )

1978 34' Kaiser Gale Force

Completely equipped for only $79,900.00 USD!

The yacht "Mirage" is a heavily constructed, hand laid fiberglass world cruising yacht, built by Kaiser Yachts in Wilmington Delaware.

As my father would say, "She's a powerful ocean cruising cutter, Kaiser designed and built the way good boats ought to be, without compromise of design, standards or price".

Now for sale by her original owners, they have loved their Kaiser Gale Force over the years and have had an amazing sailing life, travelling all over this beautiful world, enjoying their passages to the fullest!

I will be attaching their notes about their travels and their love and enjoyment of this classic yacht, which they have just prepped for the next owners that are ready to take the helm to destinations unknown! Here is their story and many details of their yacht "Mirage".

MIRAGE’S STORY: 

People go to sea for many different reasons.  For us, it was always about the adventure, meeting new people, traveling to fascinating places, inhaling nature’s beauty, and, testing ourselves under difficult conditions. 

We had “cut our teeth” on a 29 foot Erickson for a couple of years.  I remember us taking it 100 miles off shore from Los

Angeles to San Nicolas Island, the only vessel  there.  Looking West, we swore to ourselves that one day we would go there. 

The following year we went to the Newport Cruiser Film Festival where we saw some awesome films and met the Hiscocks, Pardees, Roths, and Griffiths.  We were Hooked! 

Our search for a cruising boat started out in 1978, and ended with the Kaiser Gale Force,  John and Claire Kaiser were one of a kind, inviting us to their home where we met John Kaiser Jr, their son, age 10, and, now our broker for this boat! 

The boat exceeded our expectations, cost as much as a house, and was the best investment we ever made in a long life.  The name MIRAGE came to me as I grew up in the Nevada desert and loved the water.  Our 42 year adventure was about to begin in earnest. 

Our focus on equipping MIRAGE was to make us self sufficient for long periods of time.  We have 105 gallons of diesel  in 3 tanks which will power the boat over 200 hours.  Three propane tanks, enough for 4 months of cooking.  90 gallons of fresh water, 660 AMP hours of battery power, and space for food and stores for many months.

MIRAGE CURRENTLY HAS THE FOLLOWING MAJOR EQUIPMENT:

     --  2 chart plotters

     --  AIS

     --  RADAR

     --  Wind generator

     --  4 solar panels

SANDY’S STORY: 

After visiting all of the Channel Islands off of California, we began to search for a proper boat to fulfill our dreams of one day exploring distant horizons. 

After 42 years of owning our Gale Force 34, Mirage, we feel she is a capable cruising boat designed to move and not sit still.  We will never be quite the same again…..it was the best and biggest event of our lives. 

Our first modest voyages took us to British Columbia, Canada, and the Queen Charlotte Islands, circling Vancouver Island, Canada, and visiting Glacier Bay, Alaska. 

We changed out our kerosene stove for propane, added a life raft, reinforced the rigging putting in insulators for our ham radio.  We laid in 315 feet of high tensile chain.  Among other numerous upgrades before leaving home were Aries wind vane, solar panels, cruising spinnaker, new heater, stronger windlass, ham radio, and various safety gear. 

From Seattle, we made Mexico, and all of its’ delights.  Landfall in the Marquesas Islands was a magical moment after a long sea passage.  We delighted in the ethereal turquoise of the lagoons in the Tuamotu Islands.  We took time to enjoy the Society Islands, Niue Island, Tonga, and New Zealand where we laid Mirage on a grid to paint her bottom.  More upgrades, new Profurl furling system among them. 

We suffered a cyclone midway between New Zealand and Hawaii.  Mirage proved her worth again, being able to handle the worst conditions. 

Going north from Hawaii, we visited Kodiak Island, Alaska, the Columbia Glacier, and Prince William Sound before heading home exploring the Inside Passage of Canada. 

After replenishing the kitty, more changes and upgrades were made based on the knowledge that our previous experiences had taught us.  All waterlines replaced with hot/cold pressure water added.  New 12 volt refrigerator, NEW ENGINE, wind generator, lots of batteries with monitoring system for batteries, solar, and wind.  All new sails.  Conversion of our 18 gallon kerosene tank to diesel  adding pumps to pump diesel  to or from the main diesel tanks as well as servicing our diesel  heater. 

We were ready at last!  We went farther into Mexico, touched on Costa Rica, ventured into Panama and the Canal.  Galapagos was our next landfall with all of it’s unique and rare sights.  After  6 weeks there , the allure of the South Pacific was beckoning.  We again, made the magical circuit of the many islands and once more found ourselves in New Zealand.  This time, necessity caused us to leave Mirage on the hard in Whangarei, New Zealand. 

After 12 years, we shipped Mirage home, to Washington, and fitted her out again for additional adventures. 

The North called us again, doing the West side of Vancouver Island, Canada and voyaging up to Alaska.  We made landfall in Ketchikan, Alaska and circled Revillagigedo Island exploring Misty Fiords.  Heading home, we took the challenge and ran the Nakwakto Rapids in Canada which can flow up to 16 knots.  The isolated inlets were awesome and well worth the excitement of the rapids….Mirage is home now, awaiting additional challenges  and fulfilling adventures.

"Peregrine" 

2013 42' Lyman-Morse Hunt

"Peregrine" one of the most cared for and uber maintained yachts you will ever find!

 She is pristine, turn key, & shed kept her entire life in Thomaston, Maine, a better than new example of the finest combination of Maine custom yacht building at Lyman-Morse, along with the best design team at C. Raymond Hunt. Her replacement cost exceeds $3M! She currently has only 411 hours of total use!

Being a twin jet propelled yacht, she will cruise at 24 to 32.4 knots without a worry of Lobster or crab pot buoys! Exquisite interior finish and top electronics make her a must see for your next purchase. Beyond belief! She is currently (4/17/20)  stored in her heated private conditioned/summer storage building in Thomaston, ME till sold! Inspections are easy in this beautiful location! Come take a look!

The "Peregrine" is an outstanding example of Lyman-Morse quality yacht construction, fit and finish! Though she features traditional Downeast styling on her exterior, Peregrine's systems make use of the latest performance and sound reduction. Her C-9 ACERT Caterpillar engines are coupled with Hamilton marine HJ322 jets. Steering is mouse controlled with a Hamilton Jet-Blue Arrow system. High-density material in the stringer system as well as Metalastic type anti-vibration mounts and strategically placed sound deadening tiles have minimised structure-borne sound and created a comfortable interior while cruising at 30 knots.

PRACTICAL: With her proven Hamilton Jet drives and C-9 ACERT Cats, she has a good turn of speed at 30 knots and no worries of catching lobster pots. The easily driven Hunt designed hull and attention to weight give not only very good high end performance, but an economical cruising speed-great for trips south both inside the ICW or outside. Her shallow draft and jet drives would make her at home in shallow waters such as found on the west coast of Florida!

SIMPLE: Besides the incredible Furuno electronics package, she is easy to run and simple to maintain. The owners opted to go without a bow thruster and use mouse controlled-controls which the jets love-very easy to maneuver the boat in any direction especially sideways using the powerful jets.

ELEGANT: A classic New England Hunt design. Well-appointed mahogany interior, beautiful galley, and many touches on the exterior like the beautiful custom toe rail, exquisite stainless by Lyman-Morse Fabrication, and lovely choice of colors set her apart from other boats in the anchorage.

PROVEN: This is Lyman-Morse's 17th build with Peter Boyce at Hunt design in New Bedford, MA. Not only have all these boats been very successful, but this hull design traces its roots to the original deep V, Moxie, that set the standard for the whole industry 35 years ago! Easily driven, no compromise on the deep V, these hulls shapes are like a fine European sports car. Comfort or meandering along the coast-she is at home in either medium.

"Peregrine's owners have cruised many of the highest quality yachts in their ownership past, including numerous Eastbay yachts. Their past experience and attention to innovative design features, combined with the highly skilled designers and craftsmen at Lyman-Morse, have all been incorporated into this refined custom yacht. Since delivery, she has been stored in a heated and dust-free custom shed and her full time captain reports that she is in flawless condition without a single needed repair or current maintenance item to address. She is a must see if you are in the market for the most refined and better than new 42' Hunt design yacht imaginable".

Gray Water:                         One 46 gal Polyethylene

Black Water:                        One 46 gal Polyethylene

LAYOUT AND DESIGN:

The hull is a full-deadrise deep-V with integral chine and lift strips. The hull shell is infused in the existing Hunt P38 female mould.  Custom sheer dam, transom insert and jet intake mounting insert pads were added to give the boat its 42’ feet. Foam coring was thermoformed where necessary to conform with hull curvature. A custom deck and flybridge mold will be built.

The steering system is Hamilton Jet-Blue Arrow (two stations), mouse controlled. The general twin Cat Engines (C9 ACERT @ 2500 rpm with 411 hours use) installation have been designed to limit noise transmission through structure-borne sound. The stringer system is specially built with high-density material for sound absorption and Metalastik type of mounts for further sound reduction.

The owners enter the living quarters through a custom-designed and built paneled French door. The interior is a rich varnished Mahogany woodwork built to the highest standard of cabinetry. All efforts were made to keep the interior light without sacrificing the carpentry.

Extremely well appointed yacht!  An incredible buy at this asking price!

1994 37' Pacific Seacraft Cutter

"Highlight"

$130,000.00

The "Highlight", a 1994 model Pacific Seacraft 37' was listed on 1/18/2021!

She is currently on land at Herrington Harbor Marina north in Deale Maryland. She shows extremely well and has been completely serviced for her next owners adventures!

Owners Comments:  

A little owner’s info on “Highlight” 

My name is Todd and my sailing life began before the age of one when my parents took me on a friend’s sailboat and I am told I was on a leash! A few years later my parents purchased an old large, heavily built, gaff rigged, double-ended schooner on which I spent much of my youth. We rode out a hurricane in that schooner teaching me the advantages of a double ender in rough weather at a young age. That brings me to why I purchased the Pacific Seacraft 37.  It checked all the boxes for me and my wife Kate. It was safe, well built, comfortable, and a double-ender! Not only that, but unlike so many builders which started in the 80’s Pacific Seacraft is still in business and thriving.  Now on the east coast and with an impeccable reputation for quality and customer support. 

We have sailed “Highlight” exclusively on the Chesapeake and everything about her has exceeded both my wife’s and my expectations. The biggest surprise is that she is amazingly fast, we frequently sail past the “current fad” of twin-rudder go-fast boats. We have spent many relaxing weekends and vacations on her. One of our favorite spots to sail to and anchor at is La Trappe Creek. When at anchor there we usually mount the Magma barbecue on the stern rail, cook some burgers or chicken and watch the consistently amazing sunsets and the wildlife on shore. The cover photo of “Highlight” is in fact her lying at anchor just behind the sandbar at the entrance of La Trappe Creek near sunset.  From there we often head to Oxford, Md., Cambridge, Md., or Solomons. “Highlight” is so comfortable and her electronics make navigating so easy, the biggest pleasure is most often not the destination, but the sail to get there.  Her sail plan is such that she is comfortable and adaptable to high winds as well as light air, with little or no weather helm. 

So why are we selling the boat of our dreams when everything is just-right? It is with great reluctance and some apprehension. We were not looking to change boats at all until my son and his fiancée expressed an interest in vacationing with us. This coupled with the possibility of sailing overseas to England (my wife’s homeland) brought the thought of something just a bit larger, even though the 37 is certainly capable.  At the same time a Pacific Seacraft 40 that we could afford became available. Well, the stars aligned and we very suddenly became owners of a Pacific Seacraft 40.  Two boats are too many. So, there is sadness in parting ways with “Highlight” but there is also solace in that someone else will have her to enjoy! 

Manufacturer Introduction:

The Pacific Seacraft 37 is a superb high-performance cruising yacht that incorporates all the qualities an experienced sailor looks for in "a proper yacht," such as seaworthiness, premium quality, exceptional performance, comfort and beauty. She has a modern split keel and skeg rudder underbody. She's sleek, beautiful, and a brilliant performer in all conditions, as was proven by her remarkable and repeated performance in the recent Singlehanded Transpacific Yacht Race. She'll accommodate six and has features specifically designed for extended ocean voyages. The speed of the Pacific Seacraft 37 is already legendary, but performance in a cruising boat requires much more. A cruising boat must have a comfortable motion at sea and be well-balanced under sail so the crew does not have to fight the boat every yard of the way. The Crealock 37 was carefully designed for an easy motion. When you are shorthanded and you grow weary of those long night watches, a balanced boat can make a world of difference. In addition to her beauty, comfort, and sailing ability, the Pacific Seacraft 37 offers engineering and construction that is unsurpassed. Her fiberglass hull and deck are built to the most rigorous specifications, 100 per cent hand laid-up and squeegeed to remove all excess resin for optimum strength-to-weight ratio. Deck strength and insulation are increased with high-compressive-strength plywood core construction. Cored hull construction is available. Throughout the cabin, a soft white matte finish provides just the right counterpoint for the abundant hand-rubbed teak joinery. Sunlight and fresh air pour in from ten polished bronze opening ports and two large deck hatches.

We will post more details as they are provided, but in my opinion, this is one special boat that her current owner has refined, refit and loved, and it shows!

New Listing on 11/9/2020

The "Caretaker" has been my personal boat for the past recent years. I purchased her in Florida a number of years ago. I have run her back and forth to Florida for the past 5 years and have totally love the trip on the ICW!  She was mechanically refit by her owner before me that kept her in Del Ray, FL and added her new 240hp Yanmar and Next Gen 3KW diesel generator with sound shield. I have since added new Dometic Air conditioning system that works on her 30 amp shore power or her generator under way or on the hook. Also added new 12v/110 Vitrifrigo fridge/freezer, New Garmin GPSmap 741xs with chirp depth finder and radar. Also added a second screen droid pad to use as a lower helm repeater! A new lower helm swivel seat was added for comfort to steering below in inclimate weather. I additionally added Bennett oversized trim tabs to allow her bow to remain easy to see over while she is running fast and visibility is a must from her lower station. Also added an electric windshield wiper. Occasionally having a large number of guests aboard, the tabs lift the stern up under way to give her hull nearly the same performance and lower helm visibility! Having a new Fusion bluetooth stereo controlled by the Garmin screens is an awesome upgrade. Also having a new smart TV below with a custom added cushion insert, makes the small L seating below expand into a deep couch or second single berth or pillow lounge! She has an Icom IC-M502 VHF with new bridge power mike, wireless power spot on FB with controls on bridge and lower helm. She has a new stainless anchor roller and stainless Delta plow type anchor for easy secure anchoring along the waterway! Her interior cabin has new cushions, a custom comfortable fwd mattress with 12V fan, Galley includes a Origo 110V 2 burner stove with alcohol feature. A deep stainless sink and hot and cold water single facet with green granite countertop. Her head has an electric W/C with a holding tank under the fwd berth. A hand held shower with 110v hot water and recent 12v sump pump drainage. 

"Caretaker" is a 1989 Cape Dory 28 Flybridge with graceful Downeast-Style lines. She was built on an easy-riding semi-displacement solid fiberglass hull with moderate beam and has a tapered keel and a fully protected prop. This vessel is currently boathouse stored and is in average condition throughout. She has been maintained by her very knowledgeable owner and is ready to go cruising today! (Full disclosure, she has gel coat crazing on her decks and her aft cockpit deck. Her teak is varnished and Cetol coated, her exterior has been compounded and waxed and her bottom was painted last fall and is in excellent condition. She is a very able and fun boat to take where ever you want to go today, be it the great loop or the Florida Keys or the Bahamas. She is only 2'8" draft, which allows access to anywhere, including beaching her and stepping off her swim platform). She is not a perfect boat, but she has taken me back and forth to Florida safely and comfortably and has been the most enjoyable boat to run single handed I have ever owned. She has large fuel capacity and three water tanks for additional liveaboard range! I have had her Yanmar and her generator professionally maintained and they have seen full service and upgrades during my ownership. "Caretaker" will run comfortably at 6 knots, 12 or 15 knots and will top at 20K and burn between 1.5 GPH at slow cruise and up to 6 GPH at mid cruise speed and 8 GPH at fast cruise! She is very economical and fun to drive and will find dockage easily as she is so compact, 28' x 9'11" beam!!

Accommodations:

The V-berth has storage below the custom mattress and has a center insert to provide a large area for sleeping for two, hanging locker to port, head & shower to port, galley down to starboard, lower helm station to starboard and two piece settee is to port.

"Joy Girl" can now be safely inspected at our docks in Crownsville, as we delivered her from Hilton Head and had a great smooth and fun trip!

Priced just reduced on 10/22/20 to an aggressive $329,000.00!

"Joy Girl", is a beautiful Nordic Tug 42 Flybridge that is in above average condition inside and out. Her thoughtful and caring owners have maintained her in very good mechanical and cosmetic condition. After just returning from completing the great loop, she is completely ready to take her next owners on a trip of a lifetime!

"Joy Girl" is priced to reflect the current market conditions and as can be seen by her SOLDBOATS.com dealer reported selling prices, she is very aggressively priced! This is the one you want to own!

Owner Comments: 

As her captain the last three years, I would love to introduce you to “Joy Girl”, our 2005 Nordic Tug 42. Joy Girl has been our home away from home the past two and a half years as we traveled America’s Great Loop, and in all that time and all those miles, I didn’t see one boat I’d rather have had.

The heart and soul of this boat is her amazing pilot house.  High, forward, and with a ship-like centerline helm, this is where I spent the majority of our time underway. But Joy Girl also has a flybridge directly above the pilot house, giving the captain and crew a view taller than most 50 footers. With seating for 6, this is the place to be when the weather is nice, and is my preferred position from which to dock the boat (the wireless headsets that come with the boat make life especially good during “the greatest test of a marriage”.)

With a separate U shape galley adjoining the salon, the cook has lots of work space while never having to be away from the guests.  The propane stove and oven are perfect for quiet, genset free nights on the hook in peaceful anchorages, and the 3000W pure inverter will keep all your electronic gadgets charged and running smoothly.

The master cabin features a centerline queen bed, his and hers lighted hanging lockers,8 drawers, 6 cabinets, and a large locker under the bed for almost limitless storage. The private, en suite head with full shower is more than adequate, and has multiple storage cabinets as well.

Guests live large as well, with a settee that converts to a full size berth. We added a memory foam topper to the mattresses for an even more comfy night’s sleep. Guests also have their own head, complete with shower. When friends and family are not aboard, we find this makes an excellent day head, as it allows easy communication with the bridge should anything unexpected occur while underway.

Joy Girl has been a wonderful boat for us for many other reasons.  She’s a good looking boat, drawing looks and compliments everywhere she goes She’s comfortable in any reasonable sea, comfortable inside and out, and very well built.  The only reason we are letting her go is that we have three aging parents to help (two in their 90’s) and a cat whose health is not helped by the stress he feels being on a boat.  If not for that, we would be looking forward to many more years on this wonderful vessel. And if you’re blessed to be her next captain, I’m sure you’ll enjoy her every bit as much as we have!

Her features include:

• The desired commercial-application 9 litre Cummins QSL-9M, 405hp for incredibly long engine life, currently with 4787 engine hours

Hans Christian 48 T:

Cruise in luxury and style! "Annapurna" is a proven circumnavigator, from 1996 to 2007 she traveled to 56 different countries and crossed over 54,000 miles.  The owner's wife told her husband that she would only agree to sailing around the world if the vessel provided enough luxury so she didn't feel like she was camping.  Annapurna clearly provides such amenities.

More recently (2016 - 2019) Annapurna traveled south from Santa Monica Bay to Panama then the US east coast and the Bahamas.

Owners Statement:

This beautiful, graceful sloop was built in Sweden in 1966, a twenty-nine-foot version of Ab telfa King’s Cruiser. She was shipped to the United States and came into the current owner’s hands in Annapolis in the mid-80’s. Asgard was named for the ‘after guard’ in a Norris Fleet as she would protect the other ships from the rear in those ancient times. 

After living aboard with my parents for a decade or more as a child, I purchased this boat to live-aboard and Sail the east coast and the Caribbean, which I did for several years. I was in the Yacht Repair and Boatbuilding business at the time and applied these skills to do a complete rebuild and maintain her over the years. From extensive woodwork to replacing keel bolts, plumbing and systems every detail was attended to, including a blister repair job. 

The Crockett brothers in the 70’s removed the original pilothouse type of cabin and cockpit and built the current configuration. The Yanmar engine was installed just prior to my ownership. 

Original mahogany toe rails were replaced with teak as were the combing caps, hatch rails and hand rails. Original butane stove was removed and replaced with a Dickinson LPG and Forest Force-10 Heater were installed. All standing and running rigging was replaced in 2014. Chesapeake Sailmakers Mainsail was purchased in 2018. Original wooden boom was replaced with aluminum at that time.  Autopilot and electronics were added in 2014 the dodger and exterior canvas new in 2018 as with the cabin cushions, all of this makes sailing her an absolute joy. 

Asgard has been a great sailing boat for exploring the Chesapeake area and I would not hesitate to take her as far as your heart desires. I have been an excellent caretaker of this boat and she is looking for the next person to enjoy her as much as I have. She has a grace and feel that is obvious and exceptional. We are letting her go only to move on to a larger vessel for the next stage of our lives.
