Remarks

Mascushla is a true blue water cruising yacht. Off the wind she easily achieves her displacement speed of 7.4 knots in a 12-15 knot breeze. Bayview yachts have a large following in North American with a strong association following - see Bayfield (and Gozzard) Owners Group on Facebook.
Mascushla's preparation by Kyle and Missy (previous owners) in 2018-19 and subsequent trouble free Pacific crossing 2020-22 is extensively covered on Youtube - see "four sheets to the wind" and "boat tour Bayfield 40 (SV Macushla) "
Her equipment level is extensive and also includes, cockpit cushions, cockpit boards (new 2023), engine spares, (including belts, water maker spares, impellers, spare steering and engine cables) tools, comprehensive documentation.
This yacht has seen plenty of offshore passages in her time and with some careful preparation, we are sure she will provide safe passage for new owners.
She has been priced to reflect owners desire to find new owners reasonably quickly so he can concentrate on other important needs.
Highly recommended viewing if you have been looking for a total ocean going package without breaking the bank. She has some serious offshore miles under her keel and is ready to head back out with new owners.
Located in our marina for ease of inspection.
