Not Your Average Offshore Cruiser -so much more!
We love the layout of this Delphia 40. Not set up for the charter world but for a couple that look forward to cruising around the world in comfort & style. Lots of room for living aboard with large workshop / storage port / stern and a larger kitchen. It is also nicely priced for the year, make & model.
Polish built, Andrzej Skrzat designed for serious blue water sailing. The top-loading 75 L fridge and 53L freezer give you ample cold storage for provisioning on long passages. The U-shape saloon table converts to a bed for extra passengers or easy communication with the sleeping crew underway.
Energy saving LED interior lighting, 40 liter per hour water maker, solar panels and wind generator make easy to live off the grid. A new coat of antifouling has been applied, a new flex-o-fold folding propeller has been installed and the engine was serviced and tested. This yacht has no A/C. Newer cushions in the shaded cockpit for sailing comfort. A furling mainsail adds to easy sailing.

The listing broker, Chris Rundlett, has personally inspected the boat and is available to answer any questions or book a virtual walk through.
The boat was purchased at Langkawi island in Malaysia, it was haul out there at the end of 2017 and the following work was performed by the yard team: the hull was completely polished and inspected, we removed the bowtruster and fiberglassed the opening, all seacock and closing valves where replaced, new auto pilot, new manual toilet and many small improvements as well as all basic required maintenance. The boat was then hauled out in Richards Bay, South Africa at the end of 2018 after the crossing of the Indian Ocean for a yearly maintenance and check. At last we hauled out in Grenada in July 2020 where it is now laying.
We purchased the boat from an Australian guy who was the 1 st owner and sailed her to Asia. This boat was my choice for sailing around the world with my girlfriend, we sailed from Asia to Africa in 2018 and arrived in the Caribbean in July 2019. We stayed in the Caribbean until July 2020 and are now selling herafter a lifetime experience of 2 ½ years living aboard.
This two cabin, two bathroom version has a great storage compartment on stern port and a larger kitchen with a freezer and a fridge. It is a perfect live aboard for a couple or a family. The current owner has sailed her 15,000 nm over the last 3 years from Asia to the Caribbean and confirm that it is a great offshore boat with new sails, batteries, watermaker, dinghy, anchor, safety equipment and more.
This makes it a ready to go boat!
No damage or whatsever, bow truster was not working when we purchased the boat, we decided to block the hole and work was done by professionals. Previous aluminum rudder shaft was bend, it’s been replaced in South Africa in 2019 with a stainless steel one, with new bearings. All ordered from Jeffa rudder in Denmark.
The engine exhaust elbow was repaired in 2017, I would suggest to replace it with a new one. This is the only weakness of these volvo engines. Apart from that not a single issue with the engine other the last 3 years. Saildrive seals have just been replaced, all oils and filters changed in July 2020. The boat has a new two blade folding propeller.
