First time in the Atlantic!! We have a furler problem we need to fix so we are heading out around marathon key. Off grid living comes with it’s unique set of problem that need fixing. Especially when off grid means living on a boat. We were anchored on the gulf side and the boat yard is on the Atlantic side so away we go! Two hour cruise around the island to get to a spot that would take ten minutes to walk to lol! Quit a large change of pace from life on land to living on a boat! Thankfully we are no longer in a rush to do much of anything these days, so a little day cruise is under way! Sadly the sails stay down for this one. Next time though.

Making our own composite rudders in the aft cockpit of our Catana42s. Time to glue in the carbon rudder stock.

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.
