The Grady White Sailfish 27 is one of the most respected offshore fishing boats ever built in its class. They have earned their reputation for seaworthiness, comfort, and fishability, and this 1996 model continues to deliver. Speeds to 27 knots cruise and 36 knots at wide open throttle with Yamaha 200s, With its wide beam and deep-V hull, this boat is designed to handle choppy seas with confidence, making it a trusted choice for serious anglers and families alike. The spacious cockpit offers ample room for multiple anglers, rod holders, and a transom door for easy access when landing big fish. Inside, the cabin provides overnight accommodations with a V-Berth, mid-berth, galley, and enclosed head—perfect for weekend getaways or long days offshore. Grady-White boats have premium construction, high-end materials, and reputation for durability. They feature proprietary SeaV2 hulls for superior performance, extensive safety features, and high resale value.

| 5/26/26 | Santa Cruz 50 | 50' | $79,000 | Yacht for sale is a 1986 BILL LEE YACHTS, INC. 50' "SLIP AWEIGH" Santa Cruz 50 Cruising or Racing Sailboat in Moss Landing, California, USA. This boat was custom built in 1986 for Hal Roth to race single-handed around the world in what was then known as the BOC challenge and later became the “Vendee Globe” around the world race. Raced in the round-the-world single-handed BOC Challenge in 1986-1987 as AMERICAN FLAG, logging 27,597 miles in 171 days, and came in fourth. For the 1990 BOC race Hal Roth sailed the boat as SEBAGO. Before the race he incorporated a water ballast system of 350 gallons giving the boat an additional 3,000 lbs of movable ballast. This modification gave the boat an increase in up wind performance of 0.75 knots. Hal Roth wrote a book called “Chasing the Long Rainbow” which depicted his adventures in racing solo in the BOC race. The boat gained further notoriety when in 1999, a woman by the name of Anna Stockel purchased the boat, did a major refit including further modifications such as a taller mast and wheel steering and then very successfully sailed her, single-handedly to the “First to Finish” honors in the 2000 Trans Pac race. This boat has many custom construction and design features that make her truly one of a kind. Great opportunity to own a boat that will get you there fast and safely. SLIP AWEIGH is a proven racer and performance cruiser. She is highly recommended for anyone considering serious shorthanded sailing. https://yachtfinderswindseakers.com/yacht/50-bill-lee-yachts-inc-santa-cruz-50-yacht-1986-458571/ | Bill Lee<br>Yachtfinders/Windseakers Yacht Brokers<br>831-345-5542<br>wizard@fastisfun.com |
