Kelly-Hanson Marine

Your first impression when stepping aboard will be that you are on a much larger yacht. Designed to be a comfortable and safe cruiser, she will suit the needs of the casual daysailor or those who are interested in extended inland or coastal cruising. She’s surefooted and steady and her long easily-retractable centerboard allows for nice upwind performance. As noted designer Rodger Martin one noted, “In the Bahamas, if I draw five feet, there are three places I can get into; if I draw three feet, there twenty places; two feet, and there’s fifty.” The F-250 with her board up draws an amazing 18”!

Built with a luxurious fit and finish, this yacht is truly the Mercedes-Benz of trailerable sailboats. There is simply nothing like it on the market today. She features a deck-saloon design which provides huge living space down below and the raised house provides outstanding protection from the elements. Perhaps the most startling aspect of the yacht is how comfortable and un-cramped the cabin actually is. It features 6’ headroom and a unique hand-stitched leatherette headliner. There is a complete stand-up galley which features an Origo stove with external propane tank, pressurized water and plenty of storage. Additionally, there is an enclosed private head with sink.

This particular boat was the company’s demo model. She has been in the water once for the Strictly Sail show in Oakland, California last year. She won the “Best In Show” award for boats under 30’. Her sails are brand new and have been used just once to provide a demonstration sail at the show. This is a brand new boat. Even the interior cushions remain in shrink wrap.

This is a fully found yacht. The price includes a new Nissan 9.8 4-stroke engine with electric start, aluminum trailer with brakes, fenders, dock lines and just about everything else one would need to go sailing the day your pick her up or she is delivered.

MSRP: Over $54,000/Sale Price: $29,900 FIRM

 One may ask just how good a deal this represents. Think about this for a moment. A new MacGregor 26 with no options retails for $22,000.00 plus freight. Once an engine, sails and some very basic options are added, you are easily in the low to mid $30K range.
