Introducing the sailing vessel "SARAMA," a well-equipped 1988 Ancasta Dubois blue water cruising yacht crafted by Ancasta Yachts in England on the Isle of Wight. This yacht features a spacious master cabin with a private head and shower located at the aft. Forward from the large salon, you'll find an over-under bunk room to starboard, a guest head with shower to port, and a V-berth with twin berths at the bow. Designed for both offshore adventures and comfortable coastal cruising, "SARAMA" is a must-see! 

This fully-loaded vessel comes with an impressive array of features, including a bow thruster for effortless maneuvering, a convenient washer/dryer, a water maker for long voyages, and a new 3.5 KW generator that requires final installation. Her energy needs are well met with a custom dinghy davit equipped with solar panels, a wind generator, and lithium batteries for ample power storage. Powered by a reliable 80 HP Perkins engine, she offers a generous fuel capacity of 154 gallons and a water holding capacity of 250 gallons, perfect for extended off-grid excursions. 

A standout feature is the integrated swim platform beneath the custom davit system, which allows for easy access to the included newer Highfield dinghy and 15 hp Yamaha 2-stroke outboard (2022). For secure anchoring, "SARAMA" is outfitted with two Mantus stainless steel rollers with an integrated windlass, a primary 66 kg Bruce anchor with 300 feet of galvanized chain, a 44 kg Lewmar Delta anchor with 150 feet of chain and 600 feet of rode, and a Fortress anchor mounted on the stern rail for added security. 

Highlights from a recent survey in July 2024 include numerous upgrades since 2018, such as the brand new, never-used 3.5kW generator, the newer dinghy and outboard (2022), and a comprehensive mast overhaul including repainting with AlexSeal LPU, standing rigging replacement, and chainplate replacement. The vessel has also undergone substantial electrical upgrades with Victron components, Battleborn lithium batteries, newer B&G electronics, a new liferaft, and a custom stern arch with solar panels and a wind generator, along with various cruising systems like reverse cycle air conditioning, a watermaker, and a high output alternator with a Wakespeed regulator. 

The engine's visual inspection and recorded hours (4354 on the analog hour meter) are considered average for a yacht of its age. Please note that "SARAMA" is currently out of the water at Cabrales Boatyard, wrapped for storage, with some tasks still to be completed before relaunching. These include finishing the main cockpit drain, completing the thru-hole for the watermaker hose, servicing and reassembling the Max Prop, reinstalling the bow thruster prop and changing its oil, preparing the bow thruster exterior for painting, rewiring mast lights, attaching the steaming light to the mast, and tuning the rig. 

"SARAMA" offers a fantastic opportunity to own a well-maintained and extensively upgraded blue water cruiser ready for her next adventure. For more details, please contact the listing broker!
