DE45 Breeze Maven

I pulled this info and images off of  a yacht sales page so if it looks like a sale page it is. The link to the listing is in the forum under boats for sale. Look for the Breeze Maven listing.

Breeze Maven is a rare and beautiful vessel; a schooner, built in fiberglass as a production boat in claifornia to USA boatbuilding standards. She crries five working sails and since none of these sails are very large, this boat is easy to sail. “Breeze Maven” is fast and close winded and exceptionally comfortable offshore. Her large tankage and voluminous storage make her an ideal long distance cruiser and er layout made her a scucessful captained charter vessel in the previous ownership.

Breeze Maven has twice won the Sweethearts of the Caribbean sailing regatta and has made several recent offshore passages to and from the United States.

With her recent engine, sails, rigging and many other upgrades she has completed recent ocean passages from the Caribbean to the States and back. There has been quite a bit of deffered maintenance and some catching up is now needed. The big, expensive items are all done and bought, the investment has been made but not maintained. This beautiful and spacious schooner is waiting for someone to buy her, spend the little bit of money and time needed to tidy up the details, and really do some sailing again.

She is a fast boat and her striking good looks turn heads in every harbor. Will you be the one onboard, not knowing what to say as every other sailor compliments your boat, again and again….?

Vessel Walkthrough

The cabin forward has over/under bunks that can be converted to large a V

berthed or full double with filler piece. There are three drawers and

lockers and abundant storage. It has two opening ports and a large hatch

offering great ventilation.

Next aft is a hallway with a second bunk bed cabin to port and a

full head with separate shower stall to starboard. Both cabins have

sliding teak doors. The portside cabin features over/under berths and

can be converted to a large double berth with the fabrication of a few

wooden filler pieces. There are drawers and lockers and walk about room

in this side cabin with two good opening ports for ventilation.

Stepping up next aft is the large main saloon. Here we feel the

effect of the wide trunk cabin and 14’ beam. The main cabin is bright

and well ventilated with six large, thick tinted cabin windows (new

2005) trimmed in teak on the interior and bronze outside. There is a

dinette to port which seats six and can be converted to a nice double

berth as well. Aft and to port is a large stand up navigation area and

opposite is the galley which carries on down the walkthrough to the aft

cabin and features lots of storage and nearly 9’of counter space.

The aft cabin has two single berths and a small couch, but can

easily be converted to a very large king size berth using the center

seat filler piece. There are two bronze opening ports and a large hatch

for ventilation.

There is a vanity to port and a full head with a shower and ¾ size

bath tub. This tub is very practical for allowing showers while heeled

over.

There are tremendous storage areas on this schooner and room for

approximately 100 books in bookshelves in the main, aft and side cabins.

The forward section of the boat has new cabin sole in 2006, New

headliners in the main cabin 2001, and in the fore and aft cabin 2006.
