Aquarius Pilot Cutter Chinese Junk Rig, 1980 sailboat for sale
Walrus is in Alameda, Ca. , San Francisco’s East Bay, with a transferable slip . Slip fees are approximately $280. per month.
Beautiful, heavily built, full keel pilot cutter, aft hung rudder, custom rigged as a Chinese Junk Sloop. IMHO Walrus may be one of the finest options for a solo sailor or couple out there. This boat is well equipped and more than capable of sailing anywhere her captain desires in safety, ease and comfort. Her design is based on Lynn and Larry Pardey’s Serrafyn as well as other Lyle Hess designs.
Aquarius Pilot Cutters rarely come on the market. This one is being offered far below market value in the hopes that she goes to someone who can really appreciate her.
Brand new interior: new galley cabinetry , folding navigation desk , saloon table cabinet drawers , brand new cushions throughout .
Brand new cockpit paint and Treadmaster installed. This boat shows VERY WELL.
Things she needs before setting off into the sunset:
navigation lights: they are there , but need to be wired up
no electronics onboard
galley needs the reinstallation of the fresh water system. I have just purchased a whale foot bump , faucet and Plastimo 25 liter flexible tank. They are onboard and included with the boat.
she could probably use bottom paint.
