Schucker 440

This one of a kind Schucker 440 has been extensively cruised and customized.  She is loaded with equipment, and is set up to be self sufficient away from the dock for long term cruising or living aboard.

"Drift Wood" is exceptionally clean and well maintained.  

In 2011, her sailing rig was adapted, and the yacht was customized into a comfortable and efficient trawler, perfect for the Great Loop.   

With so many major upgrades, Drift Wood is uniquely optimized for a cruising couple desiring spacious living quarters and a compliment of well thought out systems.   Her approximate cruising range is 1,300 miles.  Drift Wood is quite possibly the perfect long range live aboard cruiser.

Her tabernacle main mast has been shortened, and her mainsail is now used as a steadying sail.  Her masts can now be lowered by just one crew member.  If the new owner would like to re-rig the boat for use as a sailboat, we have access to a used aluminum 40' mast and rigging that can be purchased separately.  

See the "Full Specs" section for a complete list of equipment.
