I acquired this great little bluewater pocket cruiser from the original owner. He was getting to old to sail at 82 and had to return to Hawaii to enter hospital near family. This is Hull #1, 1961, Windjammer 21's from California, designed by Morgan Embrogan and built in Southern California back in the 60's and early 70's by various commercial builders. There were at least 15 built and I have a gaff-rigged, topsail cutter. This Windjammer sailed to Hawaii and back from California twice and to Alaska and back to CA. boats have very easily folded masts, set up at the ramp takes only 30 minutes, very easy, even under sail, fit into US containers (24). The Windjammer 21 will sleep 4 in separate bunks and is very comfortable under way and in the slip. With quadrant centerboard up it draw 18 inches and weight empty is 2500#. It has always been great in the because it cuts over the kelp and because it is so light we used to tie off to the kelp (don't shoot me) to keep from carrying 600' feet of line and extra chain necessary to normal anchor around the islands. Orig owner did a bit of painting to the boat before I got it but I'm afraid his painting was done poorly. I bought another motor for the boat, a 6 HP Evinrude in like new condition. There is a galley shelf port, utility shelf starboard, V-berth fwd, 2 quarter berths aft, there is a porta-pottie, older depth sounder and VHF radio, many spares, and cans of paint. The boat was sailed last season, very pleasant and easy and able little cruiser. Boat is in Charleston, SC now on a trailer. Steel trailer has 4 new tires, wheels, bearings, recently pulled from Florida. 6 bags of sails, all rigging, outboard in a well, boat is ready to sail but could use some TLC, paint, varnish, etc. Very easy repair to rub rail and trim rail, sanding, painting and varnish will make this pocket yacht shine like the sistership in the photo. Photo of Black hull boat is a sistership. Could deliver for a fee if needed after purchase.Someone from Canada made an offer in Feb 2017 that I accepted but the guy never came to see the boat and backed out of the sale eventually.
