Features and Benefits
This keel boat is a lovely example of a well-known Angelo Lavranos cruising design, built and fitted out between 1987 and 1991. These boats have sailed the world and this one is typical - having circumnavigated with her first owners between 1991 and 1996.
On returning from her world cruise, the boat was purchased in January 1997 by a sailing husband and wife - both Yachtmasters - who sailed her on a two year trip across the Indian Ocean to Madagascar, Mayotte and Mozambique.)
There was a change of ownership in 2004 and one year later, the previous owner sold her to me, the fourth owner. She was sailed up along the East-African Coast in November 2005 from Durban, South Africa to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania where she has been since. She regularly sailed day and week-end trips in the vicinity of Dar es Salaam, mainly doing island-hopping, and occasionally crossed the Zanzibar channel for holiday cruises of the wonderful Spice Islands.
OWNER COMMENTS:
She has proven herself sturdy, stable, safe and forgiving - ideal for the owners. Unfortunately, although she is a beautiful boat for 2 or 3 people, she just is not big enough for our family. Now that we have learnt to sail and with three children rapidly becoming young adults, we are looking for something bigger. Also, we dont foresee ourselves going blue-water cruising in the near future and it seems a shame to keep a good boat from doing what it was designed for.
She is a true go-anywhere blue water cruiser, long keeled, heavy displacement and fitted out by a master craftsman whose care and workmanship is reflected in her beautiful teak interior and teak and holly sole. If you intend exploring the East African Coast or the beautiful Indian Ocean, her location is ideal. Want to learn to sail and prefer a hands-on approach? Find an experienced skipper and sail her back to your part of the world yourself. Sailing conditions around here are mild, giving you ample opportunity to gain confidence and you will not be bogged down by regulations and red tape. Also, for a semi-circumnavigation, this is a great place to start. Just fill up the tanks and point her bows to wherever you wish her to take you. Shes ready, are you?
Overall condition:
Her latest Certificate of Fitness was issued on 19.10.05 after inspection and she has been lovingly maintained and equipped since then according to full SAMSA Category A specifications for off-shore cruising. Structurally and mechanically she is sound and ready to cruise the world again, though some cosmetic improvements can be made, such as painting the upper hull and deck, and re-varnishing the wooden toe-rail and rubbing strake. She needs routine anti-fouling, which will be done prior to handing over to the new owner, at my expense. Engine and winches have recently been serviced.
