Up for sale is a much-loved sailing home, "Storm Girl."
A 1978 Savage 42, and a wonderful well-kept example of Jack Savage's centre-cockpit bluewater cruising masterpiece.
The current owner purchased Storm Girl just last year and has lovingly invested in her with a number of nice upgrades. Unfortunately, due to unexpected circumstances, he now needs to relocate back to the UK and must sadly let her go. He's keen for a quick sale and is looking for a new custodian for this special boat at an extremely fair price.
Comfortable cruisers, Savage are true bluewater cruising boats, and this is fully proved by the many nautical miles Storm Girl has travelled. She has miles beneath her keel and adventures to tell of her journeys through Indonesia, Australia, and Thailand.
Previously being a full-time liveaboard, this means she hasn't just been sitting in a marina. Living on board means staying on top of things, so this isn't a project that will eat up your weekends. Systems are used regularly, sails are raised, the engine is used and checked, and everything is functional because it has to be!
The mainsail is nearly new (2024), the rigging is in service, and the engine is low hours. Recent upgrades made by the current owner add even more value to an already solid vessel.
At 42 feet, she's a proper, solid boat with that classic Savage pedigree. There's plenty of space to stretch out, two dry and cozy cabins, and an honest, practical feel throughout. Her aft cabin can be accessed via the internal starboard passageway, or directly from the centre cockpit. Her hard top bimini stretches over the entire cockpit, protecting from rain and shine, and there are drop down sunbrella shade covers to roll up and down as needed, on passage or on anchor.
Storm Girl is on the hardstand in a yard in Langkawi.
Langkawi is a major stopover for international yachties, so all services are covered. It's duty free, so importing items for your boat comes with no extra Customs complications. Plus, you've got watersports, jungle trekking on the island, and incredible wildlife like hornbills and sea eagles right on your doorstep.
If you're after a ready-to-go liveaboard or a cruiser without the drama, get in touch with us at Seaspray Yacht Sales in Langkawi.
We look forward to introducing you to Storm Girl.
