1980 Fast Passage 39

Olympia, Washington

$59,000

MOTIVATED SELLER!

Double Pacific tour veteran. Bill Garden designed. Fully outfitted to go offshore again with Windvane, SSB, watermaker (guts), solar panels, inflatable dinghy and much more. These boats are very comfortable and fast with its versatile cutter rig. "Rushwind" sports a suite of newer sails in excellent condition, heavy duty ground tackles, spares and an XL spreadsheet showing all costs and maintenance for the last 27+ years down to nuts, bolts and lubricants...you get the picture. This is a tremendously well-loved boat for a good price and ready to go.

From Blue Water Boats:

"A stout double-ender which many compare to the Valiant 40, the Fast Passage 39 has all the hallmarks of a legendary cruiser; speed, ruggedness and a dash of fame. Many comparisons can be made with the Valiant 40, apart from the obvious similarities above the waterline, the numbers are really telling. Though the Fast Passage 39 is narrower, the two share similar LOA and LWL and their displacement and ballast figures are nearly identical. Their underwater shapes are also very similar, the Fast Passage 39 is a tad more evolved with slightly less wetted area and flatter sections forward and aft of the keel. Under sail the boat performs well through a full range of conditions. The boat’s relatively shoal 5′ 6″ draft was advantageous downwind, her inherent directional stability and responsive rudder also allowed good control under wind vane, even down steep waves."
