Palmer Johnson 61' Sailboat - New arrival

AKKA has been a world class sailing yacht for many years.   Originally, launched as KAHILI II, this comfortable cruising, performance oriented sailboat has safely carried its owners for many miles and has held some impressive records, in off shore sailing.

"They just don't make em like they used too", could never be truer.  Therefore, for the asking price, it doesn't take much to understand the true value of a greyhound like this one. 

Off the design desks of McCurdy & Rhodes, comes this venerable yacht.  Custom sloop design of welded aluminum plate, which has been updated by a naval architect, to now have a more modern underbody with flatter, deep keel and a counter-levered rudder.  Counter transom and spoon bow lend to her good looks.

Full accommodations with 3 staterooms; full galley; steering cockpit aft on deck and a passenger / crew cockpit amidships; newer Volvo diesel engine that consumes 2.2 gphr. at 8.2 kts.; full sail inventory; rigging checked and dye tested in 2014; rudder bearing rebuilt; plus much more.  NO teak decks.

If you’re looking for a real sea boat that could explore all oceans, then this boat is a candidate for your requirements and dreams.    Replacement value easily between $1 and $2 million.

Dry stored in Rhode Island for the winter.  Mast unstepped.  Inspections can be arranged, with notice.
