The Pacific Seacraft 40 holds all the same design principals that her older sister the
Crealock 37 and boats in the Valiant line. They sail well, are tough, and seakindly.
These sisters are regarded as classic bluewater cruisers and to this day, exceed all
their expectations for worldwide adventures. The Pacific Seacraft is designed with
real world application in mind; Tapawingo has long overhangs, low freeboard,
moderately long fin keel and skeg-hung rudder for great directional stability. Above
the waterline, a cutter rig is used and both headsails are on roller furlers for
switching modes quickly.
Below decks is a classic and practical layout that is safe for passage making and
functional for entertaining. There are strategically placed teak grab rails overhead
and the G-shaped galley at the base of the companionway is appropriately sized.
The interior is well lit by many overhead and reading lights with six opening
portlights and one overhead hatch that lets in a delightful amount of light into the
main salon.
Tapawingo is traditionally constructed with solid with hand laid fiberglass near
stanchions and chain plates and balsa core for lightweight strength everywhere else.
The hull to deck flanges are bedded and through bolted then covered by a teak
caprail. Under sail, Tapawingo, performs ably without taxing her crew, assuring you
will arrive at your destination well rested and ready to carry on. Crealock designs
were spec'd with the thought that "a crew should return from sea more rested than
when they left." The sail plan is manageable and ideal for one couple. Come let
Tapawingo show for herself why she is the perfect platform for your travel dreams!
Transfer of owned 40-ft slip C-17 in picturesque Pleasant Harbor Marina (Hood
Canal) is negotiable with the boat. Monthly marina maintenance fees are about $200
per month+electricity.

Tapawingo’s interior is finished out in bright, Birch with heather blue upholstery
that doesn’t show its age. The sole is durable teak and holly floorboards that lock
into place with pins and ABI latches. All flat surfaces on the galley, nav station and
salon table feature tall fiddles to keep tools, dishes and books in place while under
way.
Beginning forward, there is a large V-berth cabin. The cushions extend all the way
outboard to the hull and are a full 6’5” long. Two opening portlights and one
overhead deck hatch with screens provide good ventilation and light to the space.
There are three storage drawers under the berth with cabinets on each side. There
are two large, cedar-lined lockers outboard against the hull for hanging storage.
The main salon is situated midships in the boat aft of the forward cabin. On the port
side is a settee that is 5’ long and looks across at the dinette table and U-shaped
settee. This arrangement drops down for a sea berth or for guests. The mast is
slightly aft of the forward bulkhead, which allows access on both sides of the settee.
There is good open storage above the settees for books or manuals and three
cabinets. There is ample stowage space for large items below the cushions and the
water tanks run centerline, above the keel, in stainless tanks. Two Hella cabin fans
and headroom of 6’ 5” provide good air circulation.
The galley is aft on the starboard side and has phenomenal storage outboard above
and below the counter top. The double basin stainless sink is centerline so it will
drain on both tacks and has manual fresh and seawater and pressurized hot and
cold and filtered drinking water. The gimballed Force10, three-burner stove is
opposite with an opening portlight above for ventilation. The fridge/freezer unit is
top loading at the aft end of the galley and providing a little more counter top space.
There is a microwave above.
Opposite on the port side is the dedicated forward facing navigation station. This
space is essential for long passages, having all your information in one place.
Outboard against the hull is open storage for navigation books and cruising guides
and safe storage for plotting tools under the flip top.
The head is next aft on the port side. Having it at the base of the companionway it is
useful while on watch. There is a manual forward facing toilet and single sink with
pressure and manual water. There is a dedicated shower stall forward with a teak
seat outboard and a self-draining wet locker aft of the toilet.
The aft cabin is a cozy space for guests or a sea berth for passages. Easily accessible
to the cockpit, galley and head is ideal. There is one locker for hanging storage and
the third (aftmost) freshwater tank is located below the bed.

Tapawingo is finished in a bright blue gel coat with a white boot stripe, teak rub rail
2/3 of the way up the hull and a gray cove stripe just below the teak cap rail. The
hull construction is traditional. Fiberglass is hand-laid with resin and balsa core
above the water line and on deck. The balsa is kept away from major deck fittings
such as stanchions and chainplates. The deck and internal bulkheads are through
bolted and bedded with polyurethane to increase the strength. The fin keel is
moderately long creating better directional stability in a big seaway. The rudder is
skeg hung with Whitlock rack and pinion steering.
The deck is balsa cored, bonded and through bolted to the hull and capped with a
teak caprail that forms a 5” bulwark along the length of the deck. On the bow, there
is a double anchor roller and short bowsprit projecting the anchors away from the
hull when being raised or lowered. The horizontal Lighthouse windlass supports
both anchors and ground tackle simultaneously for situations when two anchors are
necessary. A segregated anchor locker below makes sure both run free and
accessible through the forward cabin. The stainless bow pulpit is 31” off the deck
and is met with higher than usual covered stainless lifelines that run all the way aft.
There is a gate midships on both sides for boarding. On the cabin top there are teak
handrails and stainless mast pulpit above the teak dorade boxes at the base of the
mast. The upper standing rigging is run to a chain plate outboard of the hull while
the two lowers run through the deck to chainplates mounted to structural
bulkheads. The wide flat side decks have gray molded in non-skid with a cream gel
coat base. Water channels are molded in so green water flows off the deck quickly.
All lines are lead aft into the cockpit through a bank of clutches where any of the
four Harken cabin top winches can be used. The deep cockpit is easy to move
around in and is secure while at sea, including two dedicated reinforced harness
attachments for added crew safety. The cockpit is fairly small for a boat of this size
due to the canoe stern but this makes all lines within reach for single-handed sailing.
For engine maintenance in port, the cockpit sole lifts out for top down engine room
access and the port side provides great storage or room for a possible water maker.
On the starboard stern there is an additional anchor locker and hawspipe for a stern
anchor. The Nav Pod at the helm station holds the chartplotter, wind, depth and
speed data for navigation.
