Mccurdy & Rhodes Custom Sloop

COUP D’ETAT is virtually a new custom boat fitted with the best equipment available and ready to race to Bermuda or cruise offshore. Her current owner undertook a massive and comprehensive open checkbook refit/rebuild at Warren Pond Boatworks, Maine, from 2/2009-6/2011 and which then continued at Dutch Wharf, Branford, CT, during winter 2012/13. During this refit, nothing was left untouched. All electrical, plumbing, mechanical, heating, refrigeration, lighting, sanitation, electronics, pulpits and stanchions, sail inventory, rig, rigging, winches, hardware, exterior teak and cosmetics were replaced.  She was stripped down to a bare hull and her entire interior gutted and a custom 'wooden yacht interior' installed.  Her refit process was thoroughly documented. She is set up for short-handed or crewed competitive racing with her tall carbon rig and impressive sail inventory.

She has an impeccable McCurdy Rhodes/Paul Luke pedigree. Those who view her will not only be impressed by her pristine condition, but will recognize her as a near sistership to the famous ocean racer, CARINA. Commissioned in 1970 shortly after CARINA, she is 18" shorter with a similar waterline but fitted out to be more easily raced or cruised short-handed and in greater comfort. Her IRC, OOR and PHRF ratings make her highly competitive.  A recent survey pegs her market value at $500,000 with a replacement value of $1.5M; she is an incredible turnkey value at her current asking price. Owner will consider a trade for another quality vessel.

COUP D’ETAT’s interior is simply gorgeous featuring white bulkheads with raised paneling, ash teak overhead and fine joinery throughout. One feels as if he is in the cabin of a classic wooden boat when below. In 2011 COUP D’ETAT’s entire interior was removed/gutted and replaced new at Warren Pond Boatworks in South Berwick, ME.

The interior is well set up for family cruising or offshore racing. There are plenty of sea berths, a large head, functional galley, full navigation station, large table in the main salon and a private stateroom with V-berth forward. Plenty of storage is found throughout the vessel’s interior.
