30' Irwin 30'

1973 Irwin 30' Sailboat "Pura Vida". Tall rig. Full draft. Lots of recent upgrades and modernizations, but it has been sitting for a year.

In 2008-2009 I spent 19 months sailing and surfing on a Catalina 27' from Hood River, Oregon down the coast to South America. Taking what I learned from that trip I modified a 1973 Irwin 30' in hopes of taking a similar voyage. Priorities have changed so I'm looking to pass this boat on to someone who can use it for less than I put into it.

I purchased the boat in LA for $6800 and put an additional $10000 into improving it plus a lot of "sweat equity". The boat handled beautifully sailing from LA to Bodega Bay. Tohatsu alone at 3/4 throttle pushes her 6knots with a clean bottom.

The interior has been overhauled to maximize storage and comfort. For example, the holding tank and toilet has been removed and converted into storage space (replaced with a bucket toilet).

The old Atomic 4 engine has been removed and replaced with a new, fuel efficient Tohatsu SailPro6 outboard. A second motor bracket is mounted next to the primary motor so an auxiliary/dinghy motor can be stored and used to power the vessel.

Needs a bottom job and repairs to the front hatch but it overall "good" condition. 4 gallons of bottom paint come with the boat, as do a lot of new equipment like the outboard motor and autopilot.

Email or call me for a lot more pics and information. Thanks!

Simrad TP32 Tillerpilot (new), Tohatso Sailpro6 Outboard (new), heavy duty motor mount brackets (2x) (new), spare set of sails (not new), windlass, depth sounder, knotmeter, good radar, 3x good anchors and lots of chain, 4x batteries, new power inverters, new radios, new running lights, cockpit lights, storage area lights, and LED bulbs in cabin lights, newish cushions and improved cabin layout (bigger and more comfortable bed/sofa)

The boat (named Pura Vida) by a previous owner is in Bodega Bay. $200 per month transferable slip. Short drive from the North Bay in beautiful West Sonoma County. Email or call for more pics and info.
