Cavalier 37 "Muska" JUST LISTED
$95,000
MUSKA is a Laurie Davidson-designed cruiser with the pedigree and build quality that make her a genuinely trustworthy offshore-capable yacht. With only two owners since launch, she's been beautifully maintained, thoughtfully upgraded and set up for easy shorthanded sailing.
She's powered by a 38hp Yanmar with just 761 hours, running beautifully and regularly serviced. In 2021 she received new standing rigging, giving buyers real confidence. Her energy system is modern and self-sufficient, featuring 480a/h of lithium batteries paired with solar and wind generation, making her ideal for extended cruising without reliance on shore power.
Under sail she's balanced, predictable and efficient -- classic Davidson lines with a solid GRP build that feels safe and composed in all conditions. Below decks she's warm, practical and well laid out, with generous berths, a proper galley, and the systems you want for real cruising rather than just weekends.
If you're looking for a strong, proven, offshore-ready cruiser that's already had the big-ticket upgrades done, MUSKA stands out. She's turnkey and ready to go -- a rare find with only two custodians and prepared for her next chapter.
