Description

"SPIRIT OF JOY" is one of the best maintained examples of this world cruiser this broker has had the pleasure of representing. Her knowlegeable owner has spared no expense to keep her looking "factory fresh" and she will need very little in the way of commissioning to carry her new master to the far corners of the world or simply the bay.

Accomodations
As anyone who has ever been to a boat show can attest, there is almost a limitless array of possibilities in yacht interior design. All yacht interiors must be a compromise between form and function, but Bill Crealock attained close to the ideal compromise when he designed the Pacific Seacraft 40. It is a bright, airy, and spacious yacht while at anchor, but when you're offshore on a nasty night, a rugged grab rail is never out of reach, the galley is still functional, there are good sea berths, and you can use the nav station and head without dripping saltwater throughout the entire boat.

Upon stepping below, the advantages of the Crealock 40 interior are readily apparent. The head is at the base of the companionway to port, which allows easy access, and the shower stall provides the ideal place to hang foul weather gear to dry. The double cabin to starboard provides a quiet area for the off-watch to sleep soundly with a minimum of pitching motion. The "G" shaped galley next forward to starboard allows the dual deep sinks to be almost exactly on the vessel's centerline while also providing the cook a counter to lean against. The nav station just forward of the head on port is large with a comfortable forward facing seat. Upholstery throughout is a warm beige. The port settee and U-shaped starboard dinette provide good sea berths or a great socializing area once in port. The forward cabin is very large and airy with an overhead hatch. The expansive, Epifanes-coated teak throughout the interior looks beautiful, the Corian countertops immediately catch your eye, and the chrome-plated bronze ports have a solid, rugged beauty to them.

There are also numerous details that are tougher to see but make all the difference. For example, consider the bulkheads that are not only fiberglassed to the hull and deck, but also through-bolted. All the floorboards positively lock down. All locker doors are louvered to facilitate ventilation. The zippered headliner allows access to wire runs and beefy backing plates for all deck-mounted hardware. Little items like this abound on "Spirit of Joy" and are the details that define a serious cruising boat. Then there's the improvements impossible to see, such as a separate "engine kill switch" hidden so well only the builder and owner know it's location.
