Pacific Seacraft 25 Mark II, 1978 cutter rigged with matching dinghy
The psc25 is a small oceangoing blue water yacht. She is double ended and full keeled with ballast and is stable and safe, a wonderful boat for weekends or extended trips.
I've lived aboard for over a year.
It's a bit small but I did just fine with my German Shepherd. The shallow 3.3 foot draft is wonderful for getting into areas most others wouldnt try.
I often run right up onto the beach if its not to shallow of approach. And she is easily moved back off the hard by hand, or using an anchor and winch. She is a classic and seaworthy pocket cruiser and sails smooth through choppy water, and moves well in moderate seas.
The cutter has three working sails, the mainsail, Jib or headsail, and staysail.
Replaced original Yanmar with a Vetus M3.09 3cyl 25hp.
The Vetus has a damaged crankshaft at a conrod bearing. Easiest and least costly fix is replace the basic engine and swap marine parts. It is built around a commercial Mitsubisbi L3E, new cost $2500 if you shop smart.
A new engine for $2500!
Reduction gear is excellent.
Plumbing, electric, fuel supply excellent as well as hoses and exhaust.
There is also a broken chainplate for the port quarter backstay that needs to be welded.
Rigging has been upgraded and replaced a few years ago.
Boom was lost somehow before I got the boat so it has a nice rebuilt Schaeffer boom with two reefing lines. Mast is great also.
Bottom excellent condition but needs cleaning and paint, and above the waterline could use some TLC but useable and safe.
Bronze working portholes
Bronze winches
Bronze deck hardware
Teak joinery throughout
She is in good condition for being 37 years old. Nice boat and she gets a lot of compliments.
Head flush to sea, will provide tank and plumbing to update. I would go compost.
Force 10 two burner propane cook top with tank. I love this stove.
Stainless deep sink plumbed for fresh and seawater
12 gallon water tank with rebuilt foot pump, plus 7 gallon aux water tank
18 gallon diesel fuel tank
Homemade bimini top, great pattern for commercial custom made or use as is
Lots of extras, 6 anchors, way too much line, extra hardware, safety harness and gear, coolers, fishing stuff, wetsuits, paint, 3 fire extingjishers, etc
Very nice Lee Sails three reefing point mainsail, other sails in good condition too. A Genoa would be a welcome addition to balance her out in stiff breeze.
