Classic appeal, brand new Yanmar 57 HP engine: authentic wooden trawler ready to take you truly off the grid. Low-cost and low-stress cruising awaits!
For the purist who craves authentic, no-nonsense seafaring, this 2005 wooden-hulled sail-assisted trawler/motorsailor is gloriously minimalistic but can also be easily modernized with expanded solar capacity or anything else the new owner desires. She has been featured in multiple cruising publications (see links) and her owners teach seminars on simple and LOW-COST cruising for the SSCA and other organizations. Their legacy and hard work will allow you to enjoy cruising with more relaxation and less time spent fixing complicated systems.
Her loving owners constructed her themselves using carvel-planked pressure-treated pine over sawn frames with galvanized fasteners in a backyard setting, emphasizing simplicity, affordability, seaworthiness, and self-sufficiency for long-term liveaboard cruising for a couple. Her interior is varnished cypress with bronze fasteners.
This is an honest, capable vessel built for those who appreciate wood's warm character, clean lines, and the romance of classic boat design. Traditional displacement hull, steadying sails for smoother passages and fuel savings in a breeze, and the unmistakable soul of a bygone era. She's a head-turner and you'll make friends wherever you go...if that's what you want. But if your ultimate desire is to be off-grid and away from the world, she's the right boat for that too.
