Custom Venus - Paul Johnson Gaff Cutter (1982) te koop in Coral Bay, Verenigde Staten

English

Gwendolyn is a 37-foot ferrocement gaff rigged cutter, based on a Paul Johnson design, with a total length of 51 feet including the retractable bowsprit. She boasts a 12-foot beam and a 6-foot draft, and is powered by a Yanmar 3GM30 diesel engine with unknown hours. Gwendolyn offers spacious accommodation with a large double berth in the forward cabin, a pilot berth aft, and three convertible berths in the saloon, all with 6'4" headroom throughout. Her bright and practical interior includes a shower and head compartment, while her wide, uncluttered decks provide ample storage for two dinghies and additional gear. She carries 450 liters of water and 120 liters of diesel, supported by simple, low-maintenance systems like windvane self-steering, solar power, LED lighting, and a 2-burner hob. Safety features include a liferaft and comprehensive ground tackle. Built in Millbrook, Southampton, UK, she successfully crossed the Atlantic in 2018, demonstrating her strength and seaworthiness. Her owners have purchased a new boat and she just must go. The price has been set to make her attainable for a younger and enthusiastic new owner to buy cheap and invest as needed to keep one of the most special boats out there, going strong. That should be you!
