Brin Wilson 37 "Sofala" JUST LISTED
$47,500
“Sofala” is a nice-looking, sloop-rigged New Zealand-designed and built (Brin Wilson) coastal cruising yacht. That said, she has crossed the Tasman Sea. As you would expect with this heritage she is a fine performer under sail. Such that she will hold her own in club racing. Built of glass-sheathed triple-diagonal Kauri the hull is immensely strong. The decks (including cockpit seats) are laid teak. An inflatable dinghy hangs off the davit frame which also carries a couple of solar panels. Below the deck, the accommodations are well laid out with excellent use of space. The teak cabinetry is to a high standard. There are two quarter berths aft. The beaut galley is to port with the navigation station opposite. Amidships is the dinette with comfortable settees (seating for 6) on either side of the dining table. The settees will double as berths. Forward of the bulkhead is the bathroom (hot/cold shower) and a comfortable private double cabin. The auxiliary is an ever-reliable and extremely economical 35 hp Kubota diesel engine. At $47,500 “Solafa” is priced to sell. She represents a great OPPORTUNITY for you to take command of a professionally designed and built 37-footer without breaking the bank.
