Marcos 39 Cutter Offshore Cruiser -- Live Aboard

This engine has been professionally maintained and serviced as necessary and those records are available on board.
The steering is hydraulic.

The house batteries are four Trojan 145 amp new in 2015.

Cutter rigged Marco Aluminium spars (1981) with Stainless Steel standing rigging (1981)

The genoa and staysail are on roller furling with weather guards that match mainsail cover. All sails and covers are in outstanding condition. The mainsail has been professionally maintained. All the lines are led aft to the cockpit.

The standing rigging appears to be oversized for serious offshore sailing. The mast has been removed and the rigging inspected in the spring of 2016.

The boat was de-rigged this summer as part of extensive time in the Port Townsend boat yard. Some of the work was to replace the bow sprit. That required the de-masting at which time all standing rigging as well as the mast was inspected, cleaned and re-stepped. The old barrier coat on the bottom was removed down to the original fiberglass and two coats of Kit Grey Interprotect applied and covered with Trinidad Pro bottom paint. All exterior wood stripped and refinished with Cetol. The foredeck was repaired with purpleheart wood under the windlass.

12 volt battery, 6 batteries charged by: engine, shore power

Total LOA 44'.

The fuel tanks are of aluminum and the water tanks are GRP.

This vessel has a full keel with a cutaway forefoot.

It has been said the Marcos was the finest boat builder in B.C., and that he produced tooling for other manufacturers. He built many of the Maple Leaf 42 sail boats. This boat is molded fiberglass with a reported Airex PVC foam core. The deck and cabin top is fiberglass with balsa core material used in certain areas to provide insulation and stiffness.
