A classic 1980 44' Irwin Ketch, poised for adventure and ready for your personal touch.
She features brand new main and mizzen sails, never even hoisted, ensuring you start with fresh, crisp canvas. Her reliable Perkins 4-154 engine runs great, a testament to her well-maintained heart, now boasting a new 90 amp alternator and a brand new raw water pump (an $800 investment!). Below deck, you'll find a full galley with a brand new refrigerator and a 3000 KW inverter to power your comforts. A Genoa sail on a furler makes for easy handling, and the 16,000 BTU heat/air unit will keep you comfortable in any climate. The galley's gimbled stove, while classically charming, works perfectly for all your onboard cooking needs.
We recently sailed her from Slidell, LA to Demopolis, AL without a single issue, proving her seaworthiness and reliability. She's also equipped with a powerful anchor windlass that services two anchors (a 35lb and a 45lb), providing peace of mind. For improved visibility and efficiency, all new mast and running lighting has been installed, along with all new LED lighting throughout the interior. Her navigation suite includes a new marine radio at the helm, along with depth and speed instruments, a functional (though older) radar, and a working autopilot. An ICOM SSB Marine sideband radio is also on board, tested and functional, ready to be hooked up.
Encantador is set up for serious cruising, boasting a 90-gallon diesel tank and two water tanks totaling 185 gallons (note: one water tank needs a minor fitting repair). The interior is loaded with rich mahogany woodwork, offering incredible space and storage througho |
