Description

It’s a 2008 Jeanneau 39ds, with 2 double cabins, one head with shower hot and cold water. With roller reefing Genoa and in mast furling. The boat was hauled out in November 2017 stripped back to the gel coat under coated and anti fouled. The cutlass bearing, Volvo seal replaced along with all the through the hull fittings. Engine serviced steering serviced toilet pump and group water pump replaced and engine battery. New gas flexible hoses. Outboard serviced, made a dinghy seat. New Class I Plastimo 6 man life raft. Currently with a Raymarine C80 GPS and plotter with radar below decks with St60 tri data autopilot. Need to get a suitable GPS plotter for the cockpit. Has jack stays secured with chain plates under the deck but only goes to mast need to extend. Fire extinguishers in date, Flares in date. New hand held standard horizon 890 e with DSC and GPS floats. MOB life buoy with light but need Danbuoy. New 20kg Delta anchor plus two other anchors currently 30 metres of 10mm chain attached which needs to be extended to 60/70 metres. The boat has 2 200litre water tanks a 160 litre fuel tank and an 80 litre grey tank. The spray hood has had new windows fitted and there is also a Bimini. The galley has a gimbled Cooker with a crash bar and double sinks, need to add a manual for pump as back up. I’ve spent about 8 months living aboard since November 2017 going over all the systems however there are still items to be purchased some of which require installation such as a manual bilge pump located in the cockpit. There is one already there but only suitable to pump out a small bilge. The boat has now arrived in St. Lucia after independently crossing the Atlantic with a crew of 5 plus skipper all went well, the solar panels performed well as did the steering.No problems with the toilet or chaffing used a rope outer for protection and anti gybe ropes for the boom. The boat has been proven I think.

Additional details

The skipper sailed mostly solo from the South of France to Gibraltar where he was joined by a crew of three for the Canary Islands.from there an additional 2 crew were added to successfully complete the Atlantic crossing. The skipper navigates primarily with paper charts although GPS is also used. There is an AIS system on board which provides a back up GPS. The skipper now has 4800 Ocean miles and around 1000?coastal miles.
