Hurricane-Damaged Sailboat - Motivated Seller
She sustained some hurricane damage: the port-side rub rail and surrounding fiberglass are dinged up, and the bow pulpit is bent. The mainsail is in good condition, and there's a spinnaker onboard. However, the jib sail was destroyed in the storm. The Universal Diesel initially started, but now it won't crank. The mechanic suspects it may have thrown a rod, but we're not certain yet.
Also included:
7-foot hard dinghy
2011 Mercury 3.5 HP outboard
Dinghy davits
The bimini and dodger were lost during the storm, but the frames are still intact.
Interior Upgrades:
All interior lighting converted to LED
New cushions throughout: closed-cell foam with white and blue covers in the cockpit and cabin
Engine:
Universal Diesel 25 Does NOT run. Either needs rebuild or replacement.
Needs Work / Projects:
Cabin floor needs repair or replacement
New jib sail required
Port-side fiberglass needs repair
Bow pulpit needs to be straightened
Bimini canvas needs replacing
She hasn't been actively used in a few years and will need some TLC - but she has good bones and lots of potential for the right buyer.
