S&S 44: WATUSI 2

Watusi 2 has just come onto our listings here at Seaspray Yacht Sales, Langkawi. She is a well maintained and excellently equipped S&     S 44, Steel, ocean ready cruising yacht, fully equipped to sail around the world. Just pack your suit case jump on board and Go.

The current owners had her all prepared and ready for an Indian Ocean crossing, and a circumnavigation, however, due to ill health, it's time to sell their beautiful S&     S 44. They are currently on a mooring in Phuket, Thailand.

In 2021 whilst in Brisbane Australia they had all the standing and running rigging replaced, they installed 600 amps of house batteries, a new Enerdrive 2400 watt inverter and battery charger and 200 amps of engine batteries. There is 460 watts of solar panels fitted above the davits, they installed a rainman watermaker with 90 litres of fresh drinking water made every hour, and a new Honda GU 22 generator.
The engine was reconditioned before they departed. So she is totally equipped for off grid blue water long distance sailing.

In January 2023, Watusi 2 was hauled out in Malaysia, and the rudder and propeller shaft were removed to replace all cutlass bearings, drive shaft bearings, and the rudder bearings and stainless pins. New cockpit cushions were made, a new sail bag for the main and a new dodger for the cockpit. The hull was water blasted, sanded and had 4 coats of antifoul applied.
The owners also, in preparation for their long passages ahead, installed a new 9" raymarine chart plotter with new 3d imaging transducer, and a new Raymarine Radar.
A new Yamaha 9.9 hp motor was also bought is 2023 to power the 2.7 meter AB rib tender.

Watusi 2 is ready to go around the world, the new owners need only pack their cloths. She will be sold with everything you need. There are too many extras to name, but the boat comes with items such as, but not limited to, a Power dive Hookah dive system, and 2 full sets of Scuba gear. Watusi 2 is Australian registered.
