40' Camper Nicholson 40

Midnight Blue is a 40ft Cutter Ketch Camper Nicholson who has been with her current owner for the past 20 years. She was built in the UK as a serious blue water offshore cruising yacht and was designed for safe, comfortable, and fast ocean passages. She is simple but well maintained and has been sailed by her current owner in the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal and up the pacific coast to Hawaii and the Tuamotus islands. For these passages she has had numerous upgrades (self-steering gear, water maker, solar system etc).
She is currently docked in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and her owner can help organize survey and haul-out logistics as well as delivery. If you are looking for a proper, traditional, and well-built cruising yacht this is a great opportunity.
