Brewer STEEL HULL Kaiulani for sale in Boston, Massachusetts United States of America

When you step aboard the STEEL hulled KaSondera you will appreciate the love and craftsmanship that went into her design and construction. This 1988 Kaiulani 38, a Ted Brewer design, built by Kaiulani Sailing Vessels of South Portland ME. She is a one-of-a-kind live-aboard cutter cruiser. 

Brewer was known for his experience designing cruisers and steel hulls in particular. His signature rounded chine hull, appealing sheer, and full keel with characteristic “cutaway forefoot and bite aft”, are evident in KaSondera’s design. With 748 sq ft of sail, she has a Main, Genoa, Intermediate Yankee, Staysail, Storm Trysail, Storm Jib, Cruising Spinnaker, twin head stays, and is powered by a 50 hp Perkins 4-108 with 3,500 hours, and has a 1500 mile range under power.  She is equipped with a VHS, GPS, compass, single side band radio, chart plotter, depth sounder, auto helm, and Aries steering vane. Below decks, the varnished teak & holly interior and soft lighting is stunning, with custom cabinetry and thoughtful details throughout. Heck, she even has a crystal cabinet! 

Sleeping accommodations include 2 cabins, 3 single berths & 1 double. There is a custom teak dinette (seats 6), settees port & starboard in the Main Salon, and a sizable nav station with storage. The Galley has 2 stainless steel sinks, a gimbal 4 burner propane stove with oven & broiler, and a Sea Frost refrigerator & freezer, and a large standing shower with a seat and custom bi-fold textured plexiglass doors make the head truly stand out. She has 3 solar panels, a cockpit dodger & bimini, and a deck large enough to carry two kayaks. She had a $120K refit in 2017 with plenty of upgrades including a new transmission, fuel pump, fuel lift pump, soft fuel lines, and secondary fuel/water separator system in 2022.  KaSondera is as close to Bristol as we have seen in a long time!

Cruising cutters are known for their seaworthiness, rugged offshore capability, elegance, and superb sail-ability.  KaSondera is well loved and meticulously maintained by the current owner who made a single-handed transatlantic crossing from Haverhill, MA to Horta Faial, Azores, in 1992. If you are a fan of Brewer designs and looking for a truly unique turnkey live-aboard…look no further.
