1978, CSY, 44 Pilot House Ketch

Strong build, long waterline, and fin keel make it perfect for island cruising. The CSY 44 is regarded as one of the finest sailboats ever made!

This vessel was knocked off of its stands by hurricane Ian. There is some relatively minor damage to the fiberglass ridge at the rub rail where it leaned against the next boat. Other than that it does not appear to have significant storm damage. The way it rested against the sloop next to it minimized the damage. It should be inspected but it came through the storm as well as it could for a boat knocked off its stands.

The boat was brought to the yard under its own sails and power. The owner states that the Yanmar engine operates as expected and the sails have some life remaining.

The hull appears to be solid. It needs to be sanded, pits filled, and repainted. There is some damage to the fiberglass ridge where the rub rail is located in a couple of places. The rub rail probably needs to be replaced.

The standing rigging appears to be in good condition. There are no burrs or obvious issues on the rigging. The sheets and lines probably need to be replaced.

All of the woodwork on the boat needs to be refinished, including both hatch doors.

From inside, there are some small cracks in the fiberglass roof in several places but there were no signs of water leakage. The interior is in fair condition. Cushions and upholstery probably need to be replaced. There are no obvious leaks and the interior is dry.

The engine, wiring, and tubing all look to be in good condition. The engine compartment is clean.

The condition of the operating systems is unknown and should be inspected. It may be possible to run the Yanmar engine while in the boatyard but most of the systems probably can not be checked out while on the hard.
