This single owned blue water cruising boat has been exceptionally well maintained, and loved from afar, whilst her current owners are dealing with health related issues back in their home country. It is with a heavy heart that they make the decision to sell Dionysus, but they really love her so much, they want to see her loved and used as she should be. The vessel care they have engaged has included engine services, and gear tests, as well as airing, and washing on a regular basis. All pictures apart from any sailing or haul out pictures are taken fresh, this week, ( March 22nd 2024) when SYS listed Dionysus as our latest exclusive listing.
This truely is a rare opportunity to purchase a solid, blue water cruiser. Dionysus has been owned from new by only one owner, who has exceptionally loved her and maintained her, sparing no expense to make sure she is ship shape.
The Slocum 43, was designed by Stan Huntingford, and its his attention to detail that make this boat stand out. Beautiful and well thought out below decks, it is the sense of tradition, character, warmth, homeliness and safety that welcomes you from entrance.
With a U shaped Galley to port with a gimbaled stove, separate, 2 x top-loading freezer box, double-deep stainless steel sinks, numerous drawers, lockers and generous countertop space.
Stepping down into the saloon, the port side U shaped settee nestles behind the dining table, and easily seats 6. On the port side, the linear velvet settee seats 4. In the forward cabin there is a double berth, and a large bathroom space which includes a deep small bath area/ separate shower space.
The aft cabin on the port side has a large double berth, with beautiful teak woodwork, shelving, book shelves and closet space.
The headroom throughout the boat is a generous from 6'4".
Quote from the owners: "We have made a lot of improvements to Dionysus well above any other Slocum 43 on the market today. New teak decks, 1-1/4" stainless rails around the perimeter of boat, extra strong Davits and a new aluminium inflatable Dingy, 6 person life raft on SS rack on deck, replaced engine with Yamar 88 hp turbo, (1996) 3 blade 18" Max Prop, Ocean Kayak, Fixed Ports replaced Lexan with Tinted Bank Glass, Furling Sails at Mast and head sails, Spinnaker Sail and Pole, 2 large Propane Tanks, large capacity Water Maker built in, New sealed 3-120 amp GM House Batteries, New 90 amp GM Starting Battery, 40 amp Battery Charger, Trace 100 amp Charger/Inverter and Alpha Marine Auto Pilot. "
Dionysus has been proven as a safe & comfortable passage maker, offering exceptional tankage & storage, wonderful accommodations, a deep, well-protected cockpit. She has large storage lockers, wide side-decks for ease of moving fore & aft, and safe and easy entry via the well planned companionway. With her moderate displacement, cruising fin keel, skeg-hung rudder and cutter rig, she definitely is a solid world class, blue water cruising boat.
