AREYTO IS SOLD!!!

It has been a great sail down to Grenada and now its time to move on with life!  Areyto is a very capable and fun sailing vessel.  I'm leaving her basically "as is" in that I mean she will be sold with most all of the equipment we had on board during our cruise!  A TURN KEY OPERATION!!!   She is priced to sell and I am open to any and all offers!  Start your dream now!  I've done all the boat preperation for you.  She is within a day sail of the Grenadines.  Some of the most beautiful cruising grounds in the entire world!


SOME BASIC BACKGOUND:

Originally built in Puerto Rico in the early 1980s.  This boat is a fantastic, racer/cruiser/live aboard.  The boat is a custom design and you won’t find another like her!  I acquired her in 2006 and almost EVERYTHING on the boat is new or rebuilt.  A complete refit to take me cruising in the eastern Caribbean.  I am now looking to “get out” and head back to the USA.

She has all the important creature comforts down below to make for a long term place to stay for one or two people.  A few weeks with three, and And she'll squeeze 4 or so for a weekend.  The fridge/freezer makes ice cubes!  I'm a mechanical engineer and have enjoyed laying out this boat with the idea of making life aboard simple, comfortable, and as hassle free as possible.  All the systems work well and will continue to work if maintained properly like all things mechanical (and marine!).  The engine is a great old school yanmar diesel.  simple, effective, etc.  I've replaced the water pump, alternator (80 amp), almost, if not all the cooling hoses, ...  the engine is old but good.

She was hauled right before we set out south and has a fresh coat of bottom paint as of March 2011, as well as a fighting lady yellow awlgrip hull as of that haulout. 

The only thing negative I might add is that the deck was awlgriped about four years ago.  It is still very fuctional and you could leave it as it for while but it is showing its signs of 4 years in the caribbean sun. 

The mast and standing rigging (including halyards) are a little over a year old.  All stayloc and Dyneema.  A great rig and obviously tested from Stt to Grenada!

Adjustable back stay Anchored in Salt Whistle Bay, Mayreau.  Memorial Day 2011. Anchored off of Montserrat.  Redonda near, Nevis off in the distance. Marigot Bay, St. Martin Racing non-spinnaker class in the St. Thomas Yacht Club Rolex Regatta.  Before the hull was painted. From right above the second spreader.  The dingy is Areyto's tender.  Heavy air spinnaker.  We used this cruising sometimes as its smaller size was easier to handle with a crew of only two. Gally sink.  From left to right, salt water, freshwater, fresh water spray hose, and barely you can see the dish soap dispenser.  The fresh and salt water in the gallery are controlled by seperate foot pumps. The DC electric panel.  Voltage meter with a switch to monitor either the house bank or the starting batter voltage. There has since been a propane "sniffer" alarm mounted bellow the larger breaker panel on the right. Galley stove and oven.  cupboard behind Adler barbour Condensing unit for the fridge/freezer.  Below that is the starboard water tank. Port side as you enter from the companion way.  Fridge/Freezer and the Current Captain.  The access hatch is a vacuum panel.  The bottom and sides have 6 inches of the proper closed cell foam insulation.  I believe it is polystyrene but it has been awhile. Electric panel from another angle.  All newly installed tinned Anchor marine grade wire with adhesive heat shrink at all crimp connections.  Blue Sea products are used in 99% of the electic system. Port side at you enter the below.  The table is folded down to create a bed large enough for two.  Only for a few nights... two is kinda tight here, but doable. Same area as the picture above looking aft. Starboard side as you enter below, looking aft.  This or the vee birth are the best places for sleeping.  The chart table is on the left.  You can see the stars with the companion way hatch opened from here.   Port side as you enter below again.  This time with the table up. Vee birth.   Lots of storage under here.  Two opening hatches in basically the configeration you see the two cushions closer to you. Another shot of the vee birth Taken right after the awlgrip.  This is what her bottom looks like.  Nice big rudder. Stern.  The figure on the right is of "La Luna" as drawn by the Tainos in their petroglyphs. More fresh paint.  There is a scratch or two since the sail to Grenada but it basically still looks like this. View from the helm wing on wing coming into Saba from St. Barts.  Fresh trades!  We pegged the Moor knot meter at 10 knots more than once on this leg! View from the bow.  Reaching to Anegada from Virgin Gorda. Profurl Roller furling and anchor roller. Port side of campanionway deck.  Old halyards.  The jib halyard, spinnaker halyard, and spinnaker toping lift are operated from here. Starboard side of companion way deck.  Old main halyard. Looking down the port side.  Old rigging. looking down the starboard side.  Old rigging. View of the bow. Going back in the water.  Fresh bottom paint in March 2011. Another angle. Shinny new awlgrip!  March 2011. Awlgrip reflextion. shinny. Another view.

View as she sits in the water from the bow.  Mayreau, Grenadines.

Chart table.  The silver thing that the wire is coming out of is the USB connection for the super wifi booster antenna.  just plug it in!  Sony marine stereo and cig. lighter to power the odd 12v device.

Galley.  Spice rack, utensil holder, mirror, paper towel holder.  The counter space on the right folds down and is replaceable if it ever gets grungy down the road.  A good spot for a hot pan off the stove or a quick place to slice up a lime for your gin and tonic.  Keep the rest of the counter tops looking good.

Garmin 546s GPS chart plotter, awesome Caframo two speed fan.  Draws less than amp on full high speed and pushes air like a hurricane.  AC outlet for when you are hooked up to shore power.

The head.  On the counter, to the right above the long louvered door is a little hatch that a laundry bag with a drawstring can be fitted under.  A perfect place to put that smelly shirt.

Looking below from the companion way.  Waiting for you to call this home. 

Starboard side just inside the companion way.  Another Caframo fan.  VHF radio that can be reached from the cockpit or down below, clip board that can also be reached from below or the cockpit.  Use it to jot down an important note while sailing or to remember to buy more eggs when you're cooking breakfast.  A little holder for a small maglight flashlight so you can safely go on deck to find out what that damn rattle is at 2am when the wind is whistling through the anchorage.

She's waiting for you.  :-)  I'll miss her.
