Nauticat 44 Pilot house Ketch -1983
'SOJOURNER'
Sojourner is regretfully for sale but we know
she’ll bring as much pleasure to her new owners as she has to us. She’s proven
herself by taking us safely to Alaska and Mexico. This Nauticat cutter-rigged
ketch (4 sails) is a well-maintained yacht ready for either cruising or living
aboard and is located on the north Washington coast USA in the amazing cruising
grounds of the Pacific NW’s San Juan Islands and Canada’s Gulf Islands. There is
a very comfortable walk-around queen berth located in the master aft cabin with
a separate shower from the aft head. Newly upholstered cushions, drapes, carpet,
and polyurethaned interior make her look almost new! Across from the forward
head is the galley that has Corian countertops, a 2-burner propane stove,
microwave, fridge/freezer, and an add’l freezer under the U-shaped dinette.
Equipment includes VHF radio, hailer, EPIRB, Autohelm ST7000, Garmin 128 GPS,
Icom IC-M710 SSB radio (compatible for sail mail), Furuno radar, Sealand RO
desalinator, Heart inverter, a feathering Max prop, dripless shaft seal, and
lots of spare parts. The 135hp Ford Lehman diesel engine has 3,911 hours on it
and the Onan 6.5kw generator 504 hours. Ground tackle includes a windlass, a
30kg Bruce anchor with 300 ft of chain, and a Fortress 21# anchor with 50 ft of
chain and 250 ft of rode. Sojourner has a customized swim platform and davits to
carry a polyethylene Bullfrog
dinghy powered by a 15hp Yamaha motor. Her exterior teak handrails and pilothouse trim have
been varnished, new bottom paint rolled on, and the hull's been waxed and buffed
so she's ready to go. These owners are motivated to move out!
UPDATE: A new Webasto HL60 heater has been installed on Sojourner as of October,
2008, to keep you warm and toasty in colder, inclement weather. If it's
protection from the sun you need, she also has a full awning for the warmer
climates.
Priced to sell at $182,500 US dollars
Located in Blaine, Washington USA
