For Sale: 1974 Newport 28 Sloop "Phoenix" - $8,000 Ready for Your Next Adventure – Well-Maintained, Upgraded, and Family-Friendly! It’s bittersweet to part with "Phoenix," our beloved 1974 Newport 28 sloop, but with the arrival of our fourth child, our sailing days have taken a backseat, and she’s now too small for our growing crew. This classic beauty is in great shape for her age, thoughtfully upgraded, and ready to sail into new hands. Priced at $8,000, she’s a fantastic value for anyone looking to start sailing or enjoy a capable, compact cruiser. Key Features: Engine: Yamaha 9.9 outboard (gas) with under 100 hours, recently serviced – reliable and efficient power. Autopilot: Set it and relax – perfect for solo or short-handed sailing. Sails: Two sets included – one set never used, the other in working condition. Rigging: Standing rigging fully replaced by Blackline Marine Shipyard in 2020 after a dismasting incident – she’s rock-solid and ready to go. Accommodations: Sleeps up to 4 comfortably – ideal for weekend getaways or small crews. Bonus Tender: Comes with an 8-foot RIB dinghy and a Yamaha 2.5 hp outboard (minimal hours) – explore those hidden coves with ease! Condition: Well-maintained and in good shape for her vintage. A 2020 quantity survey is available for serious buyers to review – transparency you can trust. Location: Currently docked at Pedder Bay Marina, available for viewing by appointment. "Phoenix" has been a joy for us, reborn with upgrades after her 2020 rigging overhaul (hence the name!). She’s perfect for a solo sailor, a couple, or a small family looking to dip their toes into sailing without breaking the bank. In today’s market, a boat this well-equipped at this price won’t last long – don’t miss your chance to make her yours! Contact me to arrange a viewing or for more details. Let "Phoenix" rise again with your adventures!
