Have you dreamed of sailing off to exotic places on a vessel that would make you proud? "Spirit Healer" is just that vessel!
She is an extremely well-maintained William Garden designed CT 41. She's a full-keeled cutter-rigged ketch, with wooden spars (obsessively maintained), BRAND NEW tanbark sails, new wiring, etc. Her owner has lovingly restored her and addressed any issues she had prior to her coming into his life. Here's why she's amazing:
- Brand new tanbark sails
- Spars just pulled, sounded, treated and varnished (no rot anywhere!)
- Teak decks re-bunged and maintained
- Beautiful woodwork and DRY interior! No leaks!
- Custom davits
- Solar panels
- Brand new wiring
- Raymarine C70 integrated navigation system
- Furuno Radar 1715 Model
- Set up for both stern and bow anchoring
- Rare cutter-rigged ketch
- Beautiful woodwork inside and out
- Engine maintained regularly
- Standing and running rigging new
- U-shaped galley for cooking at sea
- Roomy quarterberth
- Freedom HF1800 inverter
- Xantrax LinkLITE battery monitor
- Raymarine ST7002 autopilot with remote
- Icom IC M422 VHF
- Frigoboat 12v refrigeration
- Force 10 gimbaled stove and oven
- Handheld backup Garmin GPS 76
- Raynav 550 Loran C (for those places where Loran is still used!)
- Digital depth sounder and alarm
- ACR Aqualink Personal Locator Beacon
- New batteries
- Water heater

- Classic diesel stove for cool climates
- Original Perkins engine has been well-maintained and lightly used. New alternator. Great access.
- All steel tanks have been removed and cleaned and polished and refinished with airplane-grade paint as needed
- So much storage!
- Manuals for everything
She was very lightly damaged in Hurricane Matthew, which is why the price is so competitive. Pease see the photo. The damage is purely cosmetic, in the gelcoat, and part of the teak rail was knocked loose. She rubbed against her dock--there was no further damage and is NO hidden damage. This boat is solid. The repair would be easy to do and would not be costly.
I would love to take you to see her. Call me! "Spirit Healer" is what dreams are made of...at a great and NEGOTIABLE price!
