1978 CSY 44 W/O for Sale

Beautifully upgraded and maintained classic cruiser. We have owned and cruised this girl for 25 years now, and frankly, we can’t find anything close to her quality in newer production boats. A little research into CSY will give you all you need to know about what a safe, more than capable world cruiser these boats are. The 400 gallons of water tankage gives us (a couple) a month’s worth of water without conservation. She’s been modernized and upgraded over the years, but she is still a bullet proof (see original CSY brochures) brick $#@*-house that sails beautifully. You have a cutter rig 3 sail combination, and the main has 3 reef points. We’ve never been past the 1st reef, because at close to 40k pounds, she delivers the blow to waves, not the other way around. We repowered her a few years ago with a Yanmar 75 turbo that has been incredible. She cruises at 7.8 knts, tops out at 8.5, but sips fuel. Upgrades include a stainless custom stern arch and davits that hold 300 watts of solar, foruno 24 mile radome, GPS antenna, 2 rod holders. The separated aft cabin king size berth, ensuite head and shower, nav station, gives owners great privacy from friends/family/charter guests in main cabin. We also put a cockpit insert that turns into an incredible double bunk under the stars for those beautiful warm nights. The cockpit of the CSY is unbeatable for comfort and entertaining for up to 10 people. We designed a large weblon dodger that offers incredible protection from wind and spray, and have rode out a couple of gales underneath her with no sign of the outside conditions in the cockpit. There is a zip in extension from dodger to the boom gallows if yo want to totally cover cockpit, and a full sunbrella sun canopy from the mast back to stern end of boom, that keeps things cool in the tropics. 7 opening deck hatches, and bronze opening portholes all around give more than ample ventilation throughout the boat.
