2002 Expedion Sailing Vessel Gerry Breekveldt Ketch 40

We are selling our beloved 40 foot steel ketch Corcovado. This is not an ordinary sail boat built for chartering and sailing only in good weather condition. This is a boat as safe as a boat can be, built for those wanting to explore the remote extremities of our planet or that generally like a safe boat. If that is what you like, this could be the boat for you! Corcovado 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 weather proof with an existing canvas enclosure) and extra deep for safety and comfort while sailing. Eight sails are included and the powerful 100 hp turbo diesel Nanni (from 2011) engine with 900 l diesel capacity has never failed us. Two extra cabins and a huge aft locker are available for storage purposes, truly plenty of room for all the gear needed to be in remote places. The boat is full of top quality equipment, spare parts and tools (please refer to the attachment for main features). Corcovado is very well maintained. No rust issues, just the normal superficial issues. We have put a lot of love and affection in our beautiful boat so it is also very comfortable to live in. 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 she is now lying. We think we are offering Corcovado at a very reasonable price considering the amount and quality of the equipment she has. We are in the process of painting the entire deck and hauling her out for a new antifouling coating (jan. 2021)
