It pains us dearly, our lovely Abeona is

FOR SALE 

SOLD

48′ custom aluminum cutter

Location: Maine, USA

….. but why? you have’t had her long?

If you read our post from, well a really REALLY long time ago (find it here) you will know that the girls cornered us in the cockpit one afternoon and initiated a debate on why it’s better to live in a house. They were on the affirmative side of course.

Even though it was only 2 small girls under the age of 7 it felt as if an army of miniature people were attacking us and our dream.

Our family is important to us and even though it hadn’t been that long since we had purchased Abeona we knew it was time to head back to Maine and give the kids a chance to dig their tiny toes into some dirt.

We bought Abeona back in October 2016, we’ve owned her for almost a year and a half, and in that time we cruised her heavily for 8 months and dumped a bucket load of money into her. She was awesome when we bought her but now she’s Russian awesome. Extremely enhanced. I’ll get into her improvements a little later. She’s a great boat but our kids were one step away from drilling holes in her hull, if you know what I mean.

Without further adieu below are some photos. Majority of the pictures are recent (February 2018) but some exterior shots I’ve had to drag from the Caribbean and Bahamas (2016-2017). Please click on the pictures to enlarge them.

adventure awaits

Abeona is an aluminum battle ship. Whether you plan to sail far north to far south or all that hot sandy stuff in-between, she can do it ALL.

We bought her to continue our cold water sailing but found ourselves in the Caribbean with plans to sail the Pacific. With a boat like Abeona you can change your plans and know that you will be comfortable in a hot or cold climate. Don’t limit yourself with a boat that is primarily built to cruise a certain region, buy the boat that truly embodies the definition of adventure.

Whether you’re looking for a low maintenance family boat or a safe, stout yacht for icy water exploration, she’s your girl.

Abeona is a head turning, comfortable home just waiting to chase some sunsets…. or icebergs.

 

Accommodations

pilot house

The pilot house is only a short way down from the cockpit making it safe for young children and adults alike to get in and out of the the cabin. The settee on the port side lays down to a queen size birth. The starboard side boasts a single birth next to the navigational station. The nav station is equipped with all intergrated Raymarine electronics. A large hatch in the floor of the pilot house allows easy access to the engine.

To the aft of the nav station is a chair and a pull down table handy for a laptop or looking at charts. Flip up the table and you have a small bi-fold door giving access to the lazarette. The lazarette houses the water maker, freezer and is the garden shed for Abeona. It’s a total dream back there.

 

galley

The galley is extremely spacious and one of the key points why we were attracted to her. There is plenty of storage for plates, glasses, pots and pans etc. We bought a new Voyager 4500 propane 2 burner stove (2017) and have installed a seagull IV water purifier under the sink with a dedicated faucet. There is fresh and salt water available at the double stainless steel sinks.

To the starboard side of the galley is the dining area. We replaced the table and the area will sit 4 adults easy. There is a new book shelf above the seating.

Further forward is a small seating area with a storage area. The cupboards are deep with ample storage for dry goods and linens.

master cabin

The master is well placed mid ship, it is very comfortable even when sailing. There are fabric pockets that line the outboard side of the cabin. Storage under the bed, access under the mattress. Hatch and fan above the bed.

forward cabins

In the bow of the boat are 3 berths. The v-berth has been split into 2 berths and we made a 3rd berth below one of those. Each birth has fabric pockets on the walls for storage. The upper berths have a hatch and the all 3 have fans.

head

The head is located starboard mid ship. There is a separate shower stall which is really nice so as not to wet all the surfaces. The head is a (2016) lavac manual marine toilet.

on deck

The stern platform is a great area for swimming and getting in and out of the dingy. We installed a hot/cold shower which was a game changer with the kids and also for the pleasure of an evening shower under the stars.

The cockpit is roomy especially with the wheel removed. There is an auto pilot control at the helm.

Abeona has great ventilation with large dorades on deck and large deck hatches.

There is a hydraulic lifting keel with controls that are passed through the galley hatch for operation. A great feature for shallow anchorages and shortcuts.

There is a whisker pole attached to the mast for easy downwind sailing.

Wash down hose that will make everyone in the anchorage jealous.
