Can a yacht look straight out of the 1930s and still sail like a modern performance cruiser? SPIRIT YACHTS Spirit 63DH © SPIRIT YACHTS Length: 63 ft (19.2 m) Beam: 13.8 ft (4.2 m) Draft: 9.2 ft (2.8 m) Displacement: 19.2 tons Top Speed (under sail): 10+ knots Price: approx. US\$ 2.9 Million With its sweeping mahogany curves and long overhangs, the Spirit 63DH (Deckhouse) captures vintage yacht aesthetics but hides modern sailing muscle underneath. Built entirely in wood using epoxy composite methods, it's lightweight and extremely rigid—ready for offshore passages or fast weekend races. The raised deckhouse design creates a bright saloon with panoramic views, while the layout includes a full-beam owner's suite aft, two guest cabins, and a central galley. Every inch is crafted by hand, from the varnished joinery to the teak decking. Behind its throwback charm is a yacht made for serious sailing, combining timeless design with real bluewater capability. #SpiritYachts #ClassicYachtStyle #BluewaterSailing #HarbourMasters

Usually when we prep a boat for listing, we ask the Sellers to take off their personal items. In this case, it was the exact opposite as "Sappho" is clearly a home on the water, displaying nothing but coziness and warmth! Built by Waterline Yachts in Sidney, these vessels are known for exceptional build quality as confirmed by the 2022 Survey. With an open-plan concept, Sappho is designed with pilothouse styled large windows for maximum natural light without taking up valuable interior space with a seldom used interior helm station. The galley and seating area are surrounded by amazing outside visibility and a step down takes you into the living space for privacy. Topside the decks are large and wide with tons of space for kayaks, paddleboards or bikes and the cockpit is protected from the elements with a custom hard dodger complete with 2 solar panels. Powered by a 55hp Yanmar diesel engine assisted with freshly serviced hydraulic steering, this boat is perfect for offshore sailing or comfortable PNW cruising and live-aboard. Available with a mooring buoy for sub-let in Maple Bay if needed, Sappho is available to view by appointment at our Sidney location. Please contact our Vancouver Island Sales Office at 250-656-5832 to schedule a showing.

We had a break in the weather, so we decided to head off to Long Island. Although we had originally planned to head to the Ragged Islands, it's perhaps too early in the winter season to do so. The periodicity of the weather events down here is every week or so and the wind coming next Monday would have been a challenge in the Ragged Islands. There's so few anchorages with protection from winds out of the West. Winds were light and variable. We were mostly on a broad reach or run all day. We used every sail. Once we made the turn to starboard back to the Bahamas Bank, we dropped the main, the gennaker and got out the Oxley Levante Parasail. Love that sail. It's so fun to fly. So, we'll stay here for a bit and head back to George Town, Bahamas and wait out the next blow. Hopefully we can make it over to Dean's Blue Hole, but we'll have to rent a car for the day.
