1989 44' Custom Cruising Ketch

Introduction
ESTATE SALE - PRICE JUST REDUCED!A proven 60000 mile passage making/circumnavigating machine PERELANDRA was custom built to exacting parameters in 1989 by renowned steel sailing yacht expertLeCain Smith. Lee and his wife Sheila sailed the PERELANDRA for over 20 yrs. Following the initial 6 yr. circumnavigation the PERELANDRA was retired to coastal Maine use. Lee and Sheila also authored Steel Away a bible for steel sailboat construction. PERELANDRA was sold in January 2011 to another world cruiser. Sadly that person passed away in April unable to cruise the PERELANDRA.PERELANDRA is now relisted at a significant reduction from the January sale price. She is in dry storage and ready to sail the coast or more appropriately as a global explorer.
Interior Structure
Hull Structure and Condition: The hull is constructed with both longitudinal and transverse framing. All bulkheads land on top of the transverse frames. Fir wood cleats are bolted to all framing for attachment of other wood joinery. All of the surface metal is covered with sprayed-on foam to eliminate the potential for water entrapment and allows for full runoff of any spillage to a centralized deep bilge area that can be easily inspected.Stem & Stern: A molded steel cone topside and forefoot has a steel flat bar backing down to the keel. The transom is cross framed with angle iron to the radius.Frames & Floors: Deep molded flange plate frames are top sistered to 2'angle iron frames that are spot welded to the hull. Frames are on about 3 foot centers.Longitudinals/Stringers: Two-inch angle iron stringers on approximately two foot centers run the full length of the hull. Additional stringers are located in the engine area.Bilge Area & Limber Holes: A moderate depth sloping bilge area with ample limbers leads from forward to a deep well amidships.

Plates at the turn of the bilge were rolled to fit the molded radius of the round hull shape. About seven sections were installed and the ones at the stern and bow ends were multi-rolled to fit the changing radius of this conical development. The framework of the hull was floated into place while the welding of the plate was done. Afterwards it was spot welded to the hull plates.Hull & Coating Condition Below the Waterline: Layers of epoxy primer with barrier coats and anti-fouling on top.
