Description:
Mawie is a 2000 Leopard 38 that has had the big-ticket work done. Her hulls were rebuilt in foam and epoxy in 2021 to replace moisture-affected balsa core. Twin Yanmar 3YM30AE diesels went in during December 2024 and show just 350 hours. A rigid hardtop was added in 2023, the standing rigging is one year old, and the saloon windows were re-bedded in June 2025.
She is set up for comfortable off-grid living. A 5.2 kWh, 24 V lithium house bank is charged by 800 W of bifacial solar panels, which also pick up light reflected off the water. A 3,000 W Victron inverter powers an all-electric galley with an induction cooktop and air-fryer oven, so there is no propane to manage. Navigation and lighting run off a 24 V-to-12 V converter, and each engine has its own dedicated 12 V starting battery. A Kohler generator provides backup.
Starlink Mini gives good WiFi throughout the boat. A Vesper Cortex AIS (transmit and receive) shares its data with any phone or tablet over WiFi. Furuno chartplotter and sounder, Raymarine ST60+ wind instruments and a Raymarine S3 autopilot round out the helm.
The owner's-version layout gives the master a full hull. Two guest cabins, two heads and two showers serve the rest of the boat, with 6'6" standing headroom in the saloon. On deck, a new 65 lb. Sarca Excel anchor on 150 ft of new 10 mm galvanized chain, an asymmetrical spinnaker with sock, a stack pack and lazy jacks, and an Achilles RIB with a 2021 Yamaha 9.9 hp four-stroke make her ready to cruise.
Mawie began life in The Moorings charter fleet as a Moorings 3800. A Canadian owner then sailed her on the Great Lakes, and her current owners brought her south for the Caribbean. They bought her for retirement and are selling only because that retirement has had to wait. There are no liens on the vessel.
