RARE Allied Seawind II Sloop — Spotless, Proven, $23K OBRO! TOUR
#boatfoolssailing #sailing #sailboattour #affordablesailing #bluewatercruiser RARE Allied Seawind II Sloop — Spotless, Proven, $23K OBRO! Could this be the perfect budget bluewater boat? We found a RARE sloop-rigged 1976 Allied Seawind II that’s so clean, it might just be in better shape than when she left the factory. Seriously—original gelcoat topsides, full keel, aperture-housed prop, and a spotless interior? This boat is the real deal. The original Allied Seawind is credited as the first fiberglass sailboat to circumnavigate the globe. Pretty impressive! This version is a foot longer and a foot wider - essentially more substantial all the way around. In short, she could go anywhere. While Canadian Ken had to sit this one out (family came to town... priorities), I take you aboard solo to explore one of the best-conditioned Seawind IIs we’ve seen - in fact, it's the only one we've ever seen! And if you know this Thomas Gillmer-designed classic, you know that’s saying something. This particular boat is: One of only a handful of sloops (most were ketch or cutter rigged) Powered by a Westerbeke diesel with less than 800 hours Equipped with Quantum sails (including an asym in a sock!) Has a black water holding tank + macerator Carries 60 gallons of water and 40 gallons of diesel She’s in near-mint condition, priced at $23,000 OBRO, and yes, that includes a dinghy and 2.5hp outboard if you go full price. The seller needs to sell, and someone is going to get a terrific boat. Could this be your ticket to bluewater dreams on a budget? Specs Recap: Model: Allied Seawind II (Sloop rig – rare!)
