How I spent my money on your new boat.
I Purchased Behula in 2023, and it was a bit of a whoopsy. Now you get the spoils.
I should have gone bigger to start with. I have poured a huge amount of money into refitting this boat, and now discovered that my long term sailing plans need something a little larger. Like on any boat, especially one 30 years old - there is more to do, but this particular boat now represents excellent value for somebody looking to explore the region.
Selling as a turn key operation - the boat is now a very comfortable place to spend several weeks at a time, and includes full amenities to work remotely or watch netflix while you plan your next adventure.
I replaced the sails for you.
At the end of my first season with the boat, the original 30 year old main sail blew out. I ordered a new Main and Jib from Precision sails. They are now installed, and have only been used 4 or 5 days this season. Lovely and crunchy, they still have some wrinkles from factory shipping for you to smooth out.
Mainsail Dimensions:
- Your Measured Max Hoist: 41'
- Designed Luff Length: 40'0"
- Designed Foot: 12'1" in accordance with a Max-Foot of 12'9"
- Sliders: Flat / 15.5mm / A007, with reinforced sliders at high load areas
Cosmetics:
- Draft Stripe Color: Black
- Leather Clew Corner
Headsail Dimensions:
- Your Measure Max Hoist: 36'11" (adj)
- Luff Reduction: 6.5" + 1.108" Pennant (reduction for stretch over time, trimming, & margin in measurements)
- Luff Length: 34'11" (reduced by webbing lengths at head & tack)
- Clew Height: 3'1"
- Luff Tape Size: 4mm rope with 5mm finished
Cosmetics:
- UV Color: Marine Blue
- UV Side: Port
- Draft Stripe Color: Black
- Furling Marker Color on Port: Grey, and on Starboard side: Black
- Leather Clew Corner
Entirely new fuel delivery system.
While waiting for the new sails, and motor cruising in the winter, the engine failed. Awesome. In order to get going again, the following work was performed - and the engine hasn’t missed a beat since.
Fuel tank professionally polished internally (December 2023), and all filters replaced.
All Fuel lines have been replaced (2024) with high quality coast guard approved line, from the tank to the engine and back
Raycor Fuel water separator housing and filter totally replaced (2024)
Emergency day tank lines included in sale.
A shaky video I took of the engine before the fuel system before it was replaced. You can see me trying to find leaks - there weren’t any. The air leak was eventually found and repaired at the fuel tank connection.
How about a new dinghy? This boat has a new Takacat dinghy!
Purchased in early 2023, Behula comes equipped with a Takacat 260LX dinghy, and matching 6hp Yamaha outboard from 2020. Perfect for heading over to shore or lounging about at anchor. No davits, but it does fit perfectly on the sugar scoop and is currently tied to the pushpit. The boat is also fitted with a stainless steel Outboard crane, saving your back and preventing the outboard from falling into the sea.
What about Electricity? I spent a small fortune on that too!
Replaced or installed in the last two years:
2x 12v 100ah Lead acid deep cycle batteries new in 2023
Delta Pro Power Station
2x 200w foldable solar panels.
2023 Honda 2200i petrol portable Generator.
The Delta Pro is installed in the aft cabin, at the foot of the new double bed. Solar charge cables, 30amp 120V RV plug, and the Starlink Ethernet cable are all routed here via the sole, through the stern bulkhead to be out of the way. No changes have been made to the factory wiring for the house power setup.
Smaller, expensive Jobs you wont have to do now:
Running Rigging Replaced 2023
Lifelines replaced with Dyneema 2024
2x Fire Extinguisher replaced 2023
Fresh Flares, Purchased 2023.
Starlink Antenna installed on pushpit.
Docking Lines Replaced 2024

manual head
Replaced 12v drinking water Pump

Squish without the itch! New saloon cushions, and a super new aft cabin mattress.
Boat includes all original cushions, with original foam. These cushions are not damaged, but 30+ years on the water has left them musty. The foam needs restoring or replacing if you wanted to reinstall them as factory.
Cushions on the port side of the saloon have been replaced this year with three steel framed chairs that fit perfectly in place of the originals, and allow easy access to the under seat storage areas.
Cushions in process of being removed and stored.
New Aft Cabin Mattress. Used for 3 weeks this summer.
Starboard side also has new cushions. Two sets of these bad boys make for a comfy flat area for lounging or sleeping on the saloon table.
These cushions can be arranged either in this couch configuration, or lock into place in a flat configuration. Looks great when covered with a blanket.
Whats left to do?
Here are the next big projects I would tackle if I was keeping the boat:
The deck needs some work. I cant feel it under foot, but tapping the deck indicates some potential delamination between the windlass on the bow, and the Port side stay.
Standing Rigging is original 1991.
A bit of wiring cleanup in the battery lazarette section.
Has plumbing for a diesel heater, and hot air vents in all cabins. Diesel heater was disconnected from power by the previous owner.
