Description
This striking Simpson 48 has been a labour of love for her shipwright owner. Steffen bought the boat in 2015 and set about completely remodeling from the cedar strip plank up.. The hulls were stripped out, all heavy teak removed and a brand new modern and lightweight interior built from scratch. The daggerboards were discarded and new mini keels took their place. Also, new rudders and an improved mechanical tie bar steering set up. All wiring was replaced. Second hand 38 hp engines replaced the original 27 hp engines.
ANAPA is a masthead cutter rig, great for a cruising cat and affords a large headsail and a smaller main, an easy sailplan to handle. She crossed the Pacific to Phuket in 2023 and carried her crew fast and comfortable. She is lighter, faster and stronger than original with beefed up chainplates, rigging, deck hardware and more.. A surveyor gave an appraisal in Phuket recently and gave a very clean bill of health... this boat will survey well.
ANAPA is a rare find and your early inspections are highly recommended.
Accommodation
ANAPA is a three cabin boat, two aft cabins plus an athwartship cabin in port hull on the bridgedeck. The starboard hull has large bathroom full forward with a separate shower and the two cabins port side share a central bathroom. Headroom is good throughout the boat, 194cm at saloon entry, sloping to 186cm.. the hulls give 193cm to 188cm at bow ends. The fit and finish of the interior is excellent throughout with perfectly sealed and painted surfaces. Ventilation is above average, plenty of opening hatches, two forward facing opening saloon windows and even a large sliding window in the galley. Perfect deckheads with numerous LED lights.
The layout is interesting as an offshore design.. there is a separate section at entry with a forward facing navigation station and bulkhead protecting the saloon from the elements. The galley is portside in this section. Steps to the starboard hull are at this section adjacent to the nav station and steps to the port hull are in the saloon.
Entertainment from a SAMSUNG LED TV and AUDIOPIPE stereo with inside and outside speakers.
