Description: |
S/V Odyssey, one of the last 365's built. Hull no. 384 of 405 built. She's in very good condition overall, with a few items in need of service.
Westerbeke 4-108 was torn down and rebuilt in 2018. Starts in seconds, even when cold and runs like a top. Under 200 hrs. since overhaul. Alternator or voltage regulator needs service.
Stuffing box and cutlass bearing are perfect, as are the shaft and prop.
Deck is clean. A bit of gelcoat crazing here and there, but nothing serious. The boat was surveyed in the water in August. there was minor moisture typical for the age and build. No structural issues.
Needs a new Bimini and the dodger needs to be repaired. Connector and pedestal cover are in great shape.
Windlass needs to be serviced. Winches need to be lubricated.
Interior is in excellent condition. The boat has been lived aboard for the last three years. Extremely comfortable galley and salon with large propane stove and oven.
Great head with a step down shower that gives you extra headroom and also keeps the rest of the head dry. Shower works, but could (and has) worked better.
V-Berth is beautiful and very comfortable with a custom innerspring mattress. Loads of storage.
Needs new running rigging. Existing lines work, but are quite old and stiff in places. For offshore sailing, I would replace two the starboard shrouds as there is a small crease in the swaging and some light rust. She was sailed to the Keys and the Bahamas as is without issue.
The sails are original, but in pretty nice shape. They've been stored indoors for the last two years. Harken Battcar on the mizzen. Even with wind abeam, the sail drops like a rock.
Built for island sailing, the 365 is very seakindly and sail handling is clean and easy. If the breeze comes up, you can simply drop the mizzen well before the main will need a reef.
We have thoroughly enjoyed living on Odyssey, but we may be moving out of state soon. She is in a beautiful marina, in an assumable slip. |
