STAGE 4 is project yacht. The seller is looking for offers.

STAGE 4 is a tough seaworthy and well equipped center cockpit sloop that recently cruised to California from the East Coast via the Panama Canal.

STAGE 4 has an updated Navigation Electronics Package, Updated Galley Appliances, Nice Quantum Sails, an Electric Halyard Winch, a 6 KW Northern Lights Generator with low hours, an 800 Watt Solar Array, Wind Generator, and Starlink for internet access and streaming Netflix.

Her spacious interior has been painted in white. It is bright and pleasant with a three stateroom two head layout. Please note there are no toilets on board. The composting heads have been removed. Buyer will need to install new heads, hoses and holding tanks. On deck there is no teak to worry about. Her ground tackle is oversized with a 55 lbs Rocna primary anchor and a 44 lbs CQR for back up.

STAGE 4 features the desirable centerboard option. The heavy ballasted centerboard significantly enhances sailing performance and stability with a draft of 10 feet. The centerboard is easily retracted with a 12 volt electric winch, reducing the draft to 5 feet 4 inches.

The yacht has no teak decks except in the cockpit! She also features three private staterooms, which is great for the owner who plans to have company.

If you are looking for a tough Bluewater cruising yacht to restore, STAGE 4 is the one for you!

The seller is very motivated to move this boat on to the next adventurer!
