Must sell - Avei’a is a classic cruiser looking for her next steward. She is a project boat, but the foundation is exceptional.
She needs:
-
New rig
-
Exterior paint
-
Water tanks
The good news? The important parts are there.
Her interior is absolutely stunning, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. The Yanmar diesel has recently been gone through and runs smooth, quiet, and reliably. The electrical system is top quality, though she currently has no electronics installed.
Avei’a has no leaks and features premium materials throughout:
-
Bronze hardware throughout, including chainplates, windlass, stanchions, cranse iron, and more
-
Beautiful teak interior woodwork
-
Saye’s Rig self-steering system
She also carries an impressive history. Avei’a is featured at anchor in the South Pacific in Ferenc Máté’s book Best Boats to Build or Buy. Her builder sailed her to New Zealand in the 1980s, a testament to her offshore capabilities.
The vessel sits on a robust 15,000 lb triple-axle trailer and is currently stored approximately two hours north of Seattle. She is ready to be transported to your yard or shop and receive the attention she deserves.
Vessel: $15,000
Trailer: $7,500
For the right owner, Avei’a represents an opportunity to acquire a proven offshore cruiser with remarkable bones, outstanding craftsmanship, and a rich sailing history at a fraction of her potential value.
