We are selling our family sailing cruiser Tenacity. We purchased the boat 3.5 years ago to learn to sail. We have now moved aboard our new boat and Tenacity is ready for new owner(s). We have improved her each year with various changes including a full re-paint. The engine was installed new when we purchased her (reconditioned engine) and has never missed a beat.
Tenacity
is a Van de Stadt designed yacht. Extremely capable and easy to sail. She has
been anti-fouled and is ready for the water immediately with a mooring
available at SCYC.
In 2023
the mast was removed to service the sheaves and lights etc. The engine was
replaced in 2022 with a reconditioned unit and has been fully serviced. In 2024
the impeller, filters and engine anodes were all replaced as was the starter
motor.
Included
in the sale is a mooring outside the South Caenarvonshire Yacht Club where
the boat can be kept between April and October. This is an extremely economical
way to keep a sailing boat.
She has
all lines led aft, she can be sailed singlehanded from the cockpit. The Main Halyard and
Topping Lift were replaced in 2023.
Onboard
is a Neptune Windvane, servo pendulum self-steering system. Parts and Support
are available. This is an easy to operate system that also acts as a backup
rudder. There also is a Navico Tillerpilot 2500 for electrical auto steering.
The
battery has a solar charger attached, which keeps the battery full at all
times.
There
are various spare items kept on board, including a bilge pump, filters and
belts.
There is
a mast ladder, climbing harness and helmet for accessing the top of the mast.
This means there is no need to use winches to climb the mast.
The
navigation system is by GPS. There is an IPAD holder which fits to the Dodger
for easy reading whilst sailing.
Her
hulls were painted in 2023 with a quality paint from International and spare
paint/undercoat etc is onboard should any be required.
The sail
suite is complete with 3 slab reefed main and furling headsail. There is a
Genoa, Stay Sail and Spinnaker in the forward compartment.
There are two jobs I need to complete, fit the new foot pump in the heads for fresh water and fit the new LED ceiling light in the galley.
I think she represents the best value for this size of yacht on the market at the moment by a fairly long way. Therefore I am not interested in offers below the asking.
