St. Francis 44 Mark II - “Mojito ”

St. Francis 44 Mark II - “Mojito ”

Reduced from $375,000 to $339,000. Owner is motivated!

This well cared for St. Francis cat was custom made in 2004 and sailed from South Africa to George Town in the Bahamas by the first owners who dropped the hook and never, ever left. They basically used it as a floating condo for four years. The seller is the second owner, when bought it in 2008, there were 500 hours on the engines and the majority of that was used to charge batteries and heat water, seriously. The sails were in factory new condition, the boat still smelled of fiberglass like it just left the factory.



The boat was custom made in 2004 and sailed from South Africa to George Town in the Bahamas by the first owners who dropped the hook and never, ever left.

The seller is the second owner, when bought it in 2008, there were 500 hours on the engines and the majority of that was used to charge batteries and heat water, seriously. The sails were in factory new condition, the boat still smelled of fiberglass like it just left the factory.



In March 2008 sailed it through the Bahamas, over to Riviera Beach, Florida and fitted all new Raymarine Nav equipment, water maker, batteries etc at Cracker Boy Marina in 2008. The seller also had a custom Rub Rail installed by Alan Ray, that cost $5,000, but was absolutely necessary for this boat as that is the weak spot of the St. Francis 44. Each year she spent Hurricane Season in Rio Dulce.



In 2010 I sailed it back to Florida and had additional items installed at Just Catamarans in Ft. Lauderdale, FL (good work, not cheap spent US$55,000). New bottom paint and barrier coat, reverse cycle A/C, TV/DVD with lots of current DVDs, 5.0 KVA Isolation transformer, six new Trojan batteries (660AH), one elect head & one manual, custom fiberglass Hard Top, wrap around Spray Shield & Privacy Shades, serviced the winches, added check valves to the bilge pumps, new wind generator, upgraded to 50A shore power, Raymarine AIS, new Raymarine mast head Wind indicator etc. The sails were inspected by Nance and Underwood in Ft. Lauderdale and the installed blocks in the reefing points to avoid chafe on long passaged and ease reefing.



The boat is literally ready for someone to bring their clothes and sail off, there is a complete tool kit and loads of very expensive spares (US$5,000) already aboard in addition to all the equipment posted above. The smart buyer will recognize this.



This boat is fast and a pleasure to sail. It can easily be handled by two persons. When sailing across the Atlantic in 2010, we left Bermuda in the company of eight other boats, several monohulls and a Prout 44’ catamaran. It took us twelve days to Horta and on day ten the 44’ Prout was three hundred miles behind us taking a beating in bad weather. We were not doing anything special, she sails fast and handles the ocean very well. The highest speeds seen on that trip was surfing a wave at 18kts with a reef in the main and thirty knots of wind. Never did we feel out of control or dangerous. She has never buried her bows nor does she show a tendency to do so.
