1990 Colvin Gazelle 42

The steel hulled junk rigged schooner the Gazelle 42 was American boat designer Thomas Colvins most successful vessel, great for coastal cruising or offshore passages.

This Gazelle 42 is a very safe and simple vessel, offered for sale in excellent condition by the original owner. The boat was built professionally by Horizon Yachts in BC in 1990 using 10 gauge steel, with steel in the keel sections. The original plywood roof was removed, and rebuilt in steel to increase the safety & longevity of the vessel. At the same time, extra ballast and 4 was added to the keel on recommendation from the designer. The hull was recently repainted above and below the waterline, is rust free and ready to go.

The junk rig is a safe, secure and very easy to sail. With full sail up, this unique vessel is very pretty and will turn heads. The extendable bowsprit reduces the LOA and your marina fees, while providing plenty of power out on the water. Wide side decks make moving fore and aft easy, and the solid lifelines and the center helm make this is an extremely safe vessel. Plus with sleeping accommodations for up to 7, there is room for the whole family. But perhaps best of all, this boat was repowered in 2018 with a brand new 28 hp Volvo Penta diesel engine with only 42 hours!!!
