45’ Roberts Ketch --- $39,500 (current as of August 2021)
In Mexico
This is a true cruising vessel paying homage to the old adage, simple is better. Built in South Africa and purchased by the current owner from the builder. Sailed across the Atlantic, through the Panama Canal and finally came to us here in La Paz. She was put in dry storage early 2019 due to health reasons and is now being offered for sale. Very much worth the effort to check her out. She’s a proven offshore veteran, very strong construction solid fiberglass hull, ready to continue her adventures.

Spencer 42’ Sloop $38,000
BLUE WATER CRUISER
SAFE AND WELL PROTECTED FROM THE ELEMENTS
The Spencer 42 ALMOST FREE is a hand laid fiberglass hull built in Canada capable of sailing anywhere in the world. The aft cockpit, factory built, fiberglass enclosure has removable canvas windows and doors to let air flow in while anchored in warm climates and snapped tight for cold climates. She has a very reliable Isuzu diesel engine. The electronics are mounted on swing out panels to be seen from the cockpit, yet protected down below when not in use. Her warm wood interior gives you the feel of a wooden boat. She is great for the long passages with plenty of room for crew in two pilot berths, a quarter berth and the V-berth. She also has a full keel with a cutaway forefoot to give her a very sea kindly ride.
