A Rare Bluewater Classic - The Slocum 43 by Stan Huntingford, built by Slocum Yachts

​

This single-owner bluewater cruising boat has been maintained and loved from afar, while her current owners deal with health-related issues back in their home country. It is with a heavy heart that they make the decision to sell Dionysus - they truly love her and want to see her used and loved as she should be. 

The vessel care they have engaged includes routine engine running and regular checks and cleaning. 
All pictures, apart from any sailing or haul-out images, were taken on March 22nd, 2024, when SYS listed Dionysus as their exclusive listing. 

​

This is a rare opportunity to purchase an extremely solid, proven bluewater cruiser. Dionysus has been owned from new by only one owner, who has exceptionally loved her. The boat has not been in use for a few years now and so there is to be some maintanence and upgrades expected.. This is reflected in the low price and the sellers remain open to all reasonable offers. 

​

The Slocum 43 was designed by Stan Huntingford - a name synonymous with serious offshore capability - and built by the legendary Slocum Yachts. Huntingford's attention to detail makes this boat stand out. Beautiful and well thought out below decks, it is the sense of tradition, character, warmth, homeliness, and safety that welcomes you on entry. 

​

Dionysus has proven herself a safe and comfortable passage maker, offering exceptional tankage and storage, wonderful accommodations, and a deep, well-protected cockpit. She features large storage lockers, wide side decks for ease of moving fore and aft, and safe, easy entry via the well-planned companionway. With her moderate displacement, cruising fin keel, skeg-hung rudder, and cutter rig, she is unquestionably a world-class, solid bluewater cruising boat. 

​

She is currently in Rebak Marina, Langkawi - Seaspray Yacht Sales' resident marina. We look forward to showing the boat to you by appointment or providing you with more details. Please contact Rachel today at syslangkawi@gmail.com.
