40 ft Steel Ketch Phoenix AZ

ANNATASIA is a South Sea ketch 40 ft long, built by current owner in 1974 in New Zealand. Now titled in NC, hard times & failing health force quick sale (hence the low price). The boat is overdue for her 10-year refit which she has religiously received her whole life as the owner/builder has sailed the world in her. She needs sandblasting and repainting, plus a long list of minor maintenance/repair tasks, but she is currently functional for living aboard and sailing. She just completed (October 2018) a 1200 mile passage from the Virgin Islands to NC for purposes of the refit - they know her well at Ted & Todd's yard in Beaufort. Engine is a Fordson 4-cylinder diesel from a tractor. It runs like a top, pushing the boat 5.5 knots at just 900 rpm.

Solar charging on 2 new battery banks installed April 2018 80 gal diesel tankage 120 gal freshwater tankage ANNATASIA is in excellent functional and structural condition overall, having received exemplary care her whole life by the meticulous and doting master metalworker/machinist who sailed the world in her. She has no corrosion problems other than the surface rust that has developed in the last 2-3 years as the refit has been delayed. She badly needs the refit, but after spending around $5k in the boatyard you will have a perfectly reliable, dry, safe and comfortable cruising yacht capable of going anywhere in the world and taking whatever the sea has to throw at her.
