KOHO, a Cal 48 is for sale

Well the day has finally arrived to pass on our beloved Koho to someone who will take care of her. We purchased KOHO in Tampa in 1998, trucked her to Portland OR where we worked on her and then to Pocatello ID to work on her and then to Napa CA to finish the job. In 2005 we headed south from the bay area to spend the Fall and winter in Mexico with the goal of heading across the Pacific in the spring.  I had totally rebuilt and refurbished  the 1967 Yawl. In a later post I will list the deficiencies of the old girl and all of my attempted fixes to restore her to her former glory. Major life events abrogated our world cruising plans and she was drydocked in San Carlos MX for a few years. In 2010 my daughter Heidi and I sailed her back from southern Mexico to Alaska where she remains in dry storage in Hoonah, Alaska, a beautiful native community across from Glacier Bay Natl Park. WE cruised her a summer in AK visiting old haunts and harbors in SE Alaska but changes to our health, employment and finances necessitate our selling this sturdy, swiftboat to someone who will use her. I will post info on these fabulous Cal racers but I see the Cal48 has a facebook page here http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/CAL-48-Yachts/102018083197140.
KOHO will be for sale for $99K . She needs nothing in the way of major work to head across the Gulf of Alaska or around the world. She is primarily set up for Northwest cruising with extensive and expensive electronics(Furuno) including radar, chart plotter and charts, commercial hydraulic auto pilotWH) as well as a canvas sided pilothouse with hard dodger. She has a diesel cookstove(Adriatic) as well as a deluxe Aussie propane stove and oven. We lost our furler in a  minimal Cat 1 hurricane  but we sailed very fast with just hank on sails as she takes little in the way of canvas to make 8-9 knots. We blew out our little mizzen in a gale off Oregon and she will need a new mizzen. She has all new overstrength 316 SS rigging, new  oversize super duplex chainplates and tangs, turnbuckes etc. We skirted a depression in MX and sailed in  numerous gales on the trip up the West Coast on our way to Al;aska. This is one strong boat. I was formerly a commercial fisherman in the Gulf(Alaska) and have seen some really rough weather and KOHO saw quite a lot of Force 6-8 conditions with no worries. She is sleek. dry and fast and underwent extensive hull and deck and bulkhead reinforcement as well as installation of foam insulation. In the cold  wet Alaskan climate she is warm and dry. She has a powerful Ideal vertical windlass with over 400' of new HT chain. She may be sold with our NZ aluminum hull inflatable with a 15 hp yamaha with low hours. She has a Isuzu 60 hp diesel with a feathering 22" 3 BLADE MAX PROP.
We may be reached at our mailing address: Hugh Owens, PO Box 309, Wilson WY 83014 or through our web sites: Cal48koho.wordpress.com or cal48koho.blogspot.com or this site.  I hope to post pictures, sailing videos and specs in the future as time permits.  I wouldn't rule out a partial trade  of a smaller sailboat. BTW, the picture of KOHO is in Desolation Sound B.C.
