1994 42' Steel Bruce Roberts 392B | 42 ft.
US$ 20,000
New Listing
Description
A project for the right person!
Professionally built by Pacific Ocean Enterprise, this Bruce Roberts 392 B model includes a transom modification that extends the deck and adds a sugar scoop swim platform. This vessel was made for any kind of blue water adventure you can imagine and has already safely cruised thousands of miles of open Pacific Ocean!
“GREY MATTER” is a 1994 42-foot pilothouse sailing yacht of custom-built welded steel construction, and is currently set up as a cutter-rigged sloop with a four-cylinder Isuzu diesel engine as auxiliary. The hull has a raked bow, radiused chines, long fin keel, skeg mounted rudder and counter transom stern.
Overall accommodations include two sleeping cabins (V-Berth and Master), two heads (forward and aft), U-shaped galley, dinette, pantry, interior helm station, and elevated dining area/settee in the pilot house salon.
The layout of the interior starting at the bow consists of a large V berth, enclosed head and galley to port, dinette and pantry to starboard. The main salon follows with helm station and navigation table starboard, raised dining table / settee to port and access to the machinery space beneath the cabin sole. The aft (Master) cabin follows with a roller-top study desk, transverse double berth and enclosed head with shower.
On deck, there is a second helm station in the cockpit. Cockpit coaming includes lazarettes (one port, one starboard) for storage. All rigging is run back to the cockpit for easy and safe handling while underway. Custom offshore sails – genoa, staysail, and mainsail (new in 2018) – are in LIKE NEW condition.
This vessel has been on the hard for 2 years undergoing refit. As of 2022, owners have completed 90% of hull replating (have cut out and re-welded – TIG and MIG – approx. 60sq.ft. of new mild steel plating). Once complete, vessel interior will need renovation (as several interior areas needed to be removed to access hull interior for welding), and several machinery components will need fabrication, re-installation and/or refurbishment [see list below].
The right person can complete this refit and bring this boat back to ocean-going condition, as this is already a boat that could sail from the balmy tropics to the icey reaches of the arctic circle without skipping a beat!
Outstanding Work (main items):
- reinstall propellor shaft
- reinstall water tankage
- new diesel tankage to be manufactured and installed
- install brand new SS 2-drawer Vitrifrigo fridge/freezer
- reinstall aft head shower pan, toilet, sink
- reinstall forward head (need purchase toilet, sink)
- renovate interior (install flooring in main salon, aft head, rebuild settee in pilot house salon)
- reconnect exhaust system
- reinstall thru-hulls
- repair a couple small holes in deck
- barrier coat and repaint hull (interior repaired sections, and exterior)
- purchase & refit deck mounted genoa and jib sail tracks
Owners are selling at the firm as-is price of just $20,000 given the vessel’s current refit progress. To sweeten the deal, they are fully committed to wrapping up the remaining 10% of hull welding as a prerequisite for this special offer.
It’s important to note that as the owners advance with the refit this winter, the price will naturally rise with each significant stage of completion to ensure the vessel aligns with current market values.
Imagine having a remarkable boat that can be restored to seaworthiness within a few short months, becoming a rock-solid, ocean-ready adventure cruiser for decades to come! Grey Matter is the hidden gem you’ve been waiting for – seize this opportunity today!
