40' Custom build Center Cockpit Gerry Breekveldt Ketch 40

If you think you've seen this listing here before, you have; allow me to explain.

I recently purchased this incredible, one of a kind expedition vessel in Panama this past February. Two months into the amazing journey back to New York City, a freak accident caused salt water to get into the engine block, and seize the engine.

We sailed to Ft. Lauderdale where the boat currently resides in Harbor Towne Marina. I have made the extremely difficult decision to put the boat up for sale because I cannot afford to fix/replace the engine. This is of course a very difficult situation, and I am hoping to find the right next owner for this boat.

Corcovado is not your typical sailboat thats built for chartering and sailing in good weather, but rather this boat is built with safety as a top priority and is for those wanting to explore the remote areas of this planet. She is a 40 foot steel center cockpit ketch designed by Gerry Breekveldt and built in 2002 in the south Island of New Zealand. It comfortably sleeps 6 persons, two in the front cabin, two in the saloon and two in the spacious aft cabin. The center cockpit is protected by a steel doghouse (the entire cockpit can be made completely weatherproof with an existing canvas enclosure) and extra deep for safety and comfort while sailing.

Corcovados journey began 2002 in New Zealand and after some sailing in the tropical south pacific it sailed through the southern ocean to Chile and then onwards around the south tip of South America towards northern western Africa. From there it sailed back to Brazil and then onwards to the Atlantic side of Panama, where I purchased it. I sailed all through the Carribean to the Northern Bahamas and then back to Florida where she currently resides.

Shes an incredible boat that just needs an engine repair/replacement, so if youre able to tackle that then shes the boat for you. I purchased for 75k in the Spring but am selling for 45k because of the engine issues. Thanks so much for looking, and happy to answer any additional questions you may have!
