Upholstery - fair/good AMASTAR should be considered an easy "Project Boat" with a bunch of little cosmetic tasks, nothing major. She is fully functional so you can alternate your weekends sailing and making her look pretty.
Decks need painting
All exterior teak needs to be stripped and varnished
DC wiring and lights need some work
Some interior painting
Replace windows some day, they don't leak and not broken, just look bad
Spinnaker pole needs repair
New navigation lights need to be installedI bought this boat six years ago from Stanford University with the intention to outfit her as a very fast, short handed, world cruiser but my age (75) and health conditions have caught up with me and changed my plans. I am an experienced cruiser with more than 100,000 miles of blue water cruising with the dream to "go again" and some strong opinions as to the perfect boat to make a circumnavigation. I wanted a fast, strong boat with exceptional sailing characteristics that would also power well because it has been my experience that you spend 50% of your cruising under power. Her layout is conventional, kind of like a big 35 footer, with a large "V" birth forward followed by a head to port and hanging locker and sail bin to starboard. The main salon has settees to port and starboard with a drop leaf table mid-ship followed by a chart table and quarter birth to starboard with a full "U" shaped galley to port. The cockpit is exceptionally large with the Yanmar engine and Walter "V" drive below. The cockpit lockers provide easy access to the engine and other systems. As a side note. With her large cockpit AMASTAR would make an excellent commercial day sail boat and she was built in the USA.She is in Alameda, CA at Marina Village. I will be on board for the next five days getting her ready to sell. I think a fair price is about $22,000 which is way less than her engine, sails, winches and lead are worth. She is fully functional and ready to have fun if you don't mind the ugly decks.
