This. I want this badly. She doesn't appear to have a genny, or A/C, and there doesn't seem to be much room in the engine room for any such additions. Otherwise, she's prettymuch exactly what I'm looking for.

I had the sister to this. She was a 32, Wittholtz. I restored her and then sold her off. Great boat and still kinda miss it. Great lines.

Geeeezzz Wayfarer, she sure is a pretty! But, if you are looking for the three items she's doesn't have - be careful not to get disappointed soon after purchase. AC and gen set can be fixed with several (maybe many $1k) "boat dollars". ER lack of space can never be.

The longer I look, the more I realize she wont cut the mustard. As heart achingly beautiful as she is. I don't see anywhere to put a laundry machine, there's no oven, no genny, no A/C and there really isn't very much storage. She'd be a great weekender, but I don't think she's the live aboard I'm looking for. For about an hour, she was perfect. It was a short love affair. :smitten:

Small world item, I had reason to communicate with either the just past owner or current owner of this advertisement. Honored that he was interested in our "Tenacious" which is a near match for the recent "Wayfarer" posting. The Tenacious is 28 feet.
This boat below, is a extremely well done conversion of a then working tug.

50' wood tug conversion

A Beneteau sailboat without the mast??? The front looks like one.

Sugar scoop stern and sailboat type cockpit helm too. It has eyes to see where it is going but why the strange spotlight setup.

Speaking of ugly. This one has been sitting here in Victoria for the past couple of weeks. She's a Wally Yacht and somebody thought this was a good idea.View attachment 34413View attachment 34414

Wow - thats that crazy fast Wally design - with the right power that thing can go 50 or 60 knots. I wonder how it ended up in Victoria - thats a long way from its place of registration. Can't believe that it cruised all that distance under its own power.
 
I think if anyone was going to photoshop something like this they would've started with a Airstream.

Greetings,
Mr. Steely. YP 678 has been posted on TF before. She sank and was re-floated. More that a fixer-upper I'd say. Even if you paid me $30K I still wouldn't take it. It would be interesting to find out just what surveyors said "best built hulls in history". I suspect their reputations would end up in the crapper in short order.

Ron....I was just about to poo-poo your photo when I saw the fly-bridge. I feel OK about it now.:thumb:

At first glance the masts of the sailboat in back of her look like she has outriggers for trolling. I'm being kind calling it "her"

Not as fast as the 80 footer, but this boat will take you to all the same places at 1/5th the entrance fee.....

The interior doesn't make me comfortable, it's not very boaty....but it's all there.

Hmmm. Few frills, serious cruiser. Obviously built to do the job. Nice engine space. If I was stuck in a blow, I'd hope it would be in something like that. Looks like an Island Packett PY in profile. Impressive hardware. Wonder what the windows are.

One of the first things I noticed was the paper towel holder mounted to the overhead. Now there's a great idea that I never would have thought of.
 
Larry, I was thinking it looked a bit like my PY also, but beefier.

I like the short mast for the steadying sail. Balances the looks of the boat out IMO. I wonder if a mast for a get home sail could be installed on mine without breaking the bank? Something "steppable".

You know, I was wondering about that too. With the depth of that well in the forward cockpit, why not, you're already part way to the keel. Take a look at how IP does the SP Cruiser and copy.

Wousers! That one checks a lot of boxes for me! I actually like the modern minimalist interior down below - the galley especially. The pilot house could use some - I don't know what. Overall, I love it - esp for that price range!

Thanks for sharing, Tad!!
