$45,000 · Fast Passage 39 offshore cruising sailboat

The Fast Passage 39 is a proven offshore cruising design by William Garden, and built by Philbrooks in Sidney in 1978. One example of this design finished in second place in the 1982 BOC solo round the world race, beating a Valiant 40, another highly regarded and similar design. Lovingly cared for by the original owners until 2023, she has a beautiful hand-crafted teak interior, spacious galley, double aft cabin, large quarter berth, two large settees in the salon, and a double v-berth forward. We purchased her in 2023 with plans to sail her offshore, and began preparing her for extended cruising. Our plans have changed, so our loss could be your gain. This boat can take you anywhere in comfort and safety, as many of her sisterships have, and continue to do. We sailed her up until late 2023, when work began on a refit. I am currently finishing the engine testing and break-in procedure after a full rebuild of the Perkins 4.108, along with re-assembly of some parts of the interior which were removed during the engine work. Excellent, affordable moorage on southern Vancouver Island may be transferrable with management approval.
