Wavelength offers a rare opportunity to own a truly well cared for, continually improved, beautiful Californian 48 CPMY. She shows the pride of ownership and love that can only come from owners that truly care for their yacht. The care is demonstrated by a thorough logbook from 2016-current, starting under 500 hours and up to the current 2500 appropriate hours. This yacht does not sit idle as many boats turn into condos on the water. Wavelength continues to be used and enjoyed on a regular basis, and Catalina Island is her 2nd home. I think she could just about find her way there on her own! The vessel is well appointed and shows extremely well. Following is list of attributes and special features...

  • NAIAD roll-fin stabilzers make for a significantly better ride!
  • full beam width aft cabin owner's stateroom with private head and shower.
  • full walk around island queen bed
  • roomy and inviting sundeck with hard top
  • port and starboard wind doors for access to the bow from the sundeck
  • air conditioning
  • Vacu-flush fresh water heads
  • 25 gph watermaker (maintained and delivering fresh water)
  • 375 hp Cat 3208s with 2500 hours
  • Kohler 12kw generator
  • (12) Trojan 105 batteries, (2) 8D start batteries 2024
  • Magnum inverter
  • flat screen TVs and stereo system
  • washer/dryer
  • newer navigational electronics includes Garmin 840 XS combo with radar, Garmin VHF, Garmin autopilot, Garmin 188L plotter
  • large sundeck for entertaining
  • custom flybridge helm station with upgraded instrumentation
  • large lounge pad area on top of sundeck hardtop
  • full galley with newer refrigerator/freezer and microwave
  • Roskelly-Olsson electric transom davit
  • cockpit control station
  • Brower electric davit on aft deck hardtop - perfect for kayaks!
  • 2006 Novurania 14' RIB w/Yamaha 40hp

In summary, Wavelength is a fantastic example of a classic yacht that looks and performs very well!
