1982 Custom 40ft Cruising Sloop "Habi Hoba" – Turnkey Off-Grid Ocean Veteran
Price: $59,500
Location: South Hood Canal, WA
Description:
Ready for its next horizon, S/V HABI HOBA is a heavily built, USCG-documented ocean veteran. She shares her design layout with the iconic Maple Leaf 42, offering the same immense interior volume, a massive 14.2-foot beam, and stable blue-water performance optimized for open-ocean passages or comfortable liveaboard cruising in the Pacific Northwest.
With a 5ft minimum draft (keel up), she easily navigates tight Puget Sound gunkholing spots. Lowering the swing keel to its 8ft maximum draft provides deep, high-stability tracking offshore. The keel cable was just replaced, and the decks feature fresh, premium Awlgrip paint applied one week ago.
An excellent advantage for international cruisers: her official USCG registered length is 35.7ft, which significantly reduces international slip and moorage fees where rates are calculated strictly from official documentation.
Priced accurately at $59,500 to account for average-condition primary sails. Her brand-new heavy-duty power bank, modern 2019 electronics overhaul, off-grid water/utilities, upgraded dry cabin heat, and extensive custom stainless and deck upgrades remove the massive upfront refit expenses typical of vintage offshore cruisers.
