I totally understand why you are so taken with Neptune's Highway. I was too. In my 50 years of messing about with small boats I have never been aboard a vessel as well maintained; including my own. Contrary to a comment below the interior is anything but "worn" looking. It sparkles, and the wood just leaps out at you. I sold my Hans Christian 48 T , Bravura, after 32 years of ownership and 14 seasons of charter work in the BVI. I spent most of 2020-21 looking for a replacement . When I boarded Neptune's Highway I was 90% convinced I'd found my new boat. What was really appealing it was truly "turn key"; it was ready to go tomorrow. No punch list, no more money to be spent. So why didn't I buy her, as the price we agreed upon was both fair and reasonable. There were several reasons, but the main one I could not sail her by myself. I was use to a Hood Stoaway mainsail which made handling the 390 square foot main on Bravura not only simple but safe. The rig on Neptune's Highway was set up for two people, and during our sea trial the owners showed how easy it could be with experience and co-ordination. But alone...impossible. Other factors also lead me to decide to pass. Those were: 1) the deep draft, 2) the lack of a marque;.everyone knows a Hans Christian, or Bristol but few, if any, know of a Davidson. that makes resale more difficult, 3) while the aft bunk is wide it has very little head room, 4) the commentator referred to the head as a "wet head" but it wasn't even that. there was no curtain, and arranging one would be difficult. wetting all the beautiful wood would be a sin. and as a live aboard I need a shower, and finally having spend 32 years on a heavy displacement vessel which was both fast and steady Neptune's Highway felt just like one would expect from a race boat...light and lively. If you are looking for a beautiful, turn key boat that really sails you should give Neptune's Highway a look. If I had a steady sailing partner I would have bought her. But I don't, so I didn't. I bought a Bristol 45.5 with a Hood Stoaway Main; and a punch list as long as your arm.

We are cruising 6 months a year in an undersized boat (34ft). We were going to step up to a 40 ft + cruising boat but, to be honest, too many of the Caribbean and Pacific Islands remain closed for cruising boats we decided now is not the time. Moreover, a lot of full time cruisers have given up cruising, due to these restrictions, and there are many boats like this currently available in places like Guatemala or Panama.
@SustainableSailing2 жыл бұрын
That central main companionway would be a definite no from us for either short-handed or family cruising. It makes too many everyday movements too difficult when at sea or even when raining at anchor (that dodger won't protect you from rain that doesn't come from ahead when in a marina). Getting a young child from the cockpit to the cabin would be difficult. Passing food from the galley difficult. Communicating between help and crew below is difficult. We much prefer a centre cockpit. I guess an IOR influenced hull which makes the saloon look very narrow (the dark wood really does make it seem even smaller). How deep is the hull form? I assume she is quite flat underneath (I assume a narrow very deep bolt-on fin keel and spade rudder), that seems less than ideal for world cruising (even beyond the limitations of that huge draft). That racing rig is going to be very expensive when it needs new rigging. The galley was very nice.

7.5 FOOT DRAFT and thats probably not loaded. You could be pushing close to 8 feet and a 65 foot stick. Also the helm station is not protected by that dodger. It’s too far away. You would get soaked. I know, different strokes and all. Beautiful interior except for the aft birth, a real head Wacker. You couldn’t even sit up in that bed. But the expansiveness is impressive. I’m sure the sailing performance would be wonderful. But you would benefit with a bit larger crew as it is set up for racing. And the reason for the huge forhatch is to rapidly haul sails in and out with your crew. Beautiful but not my choice. You are right though, nice price. And some good equipment.

Nice job on the tour but I agree with the others that the deck layout and draft are deal breakers.

The price is a little high in my opinion. There are better boats in the same price range.

It hasn't sold because it is an unusual layout, a small Not well known builder, huge draft, and a ton of competition in that size. You can pickup a Kelly Peterson 44 for a lot less, have a more functional layout and a barely realistic east coast draft of 6 feet. Likely just as fast in cruising situations. To me that is a $65-70,000 west coast boat essentially unusable almost anywhere on the east coast from the Chesapeake south. Interesting boat, but so unique that it really limits the market.

Nice presentation as always. As for the boat, and as a racer and cruiser that owns boats at the 40-50’ range, she is a mix of design ideas taken from racers and cruisers that makes zero sense altogether. I don’t see any sane cruiser taking the boat with a separate companionway in the middle of the deck - unlike a real center cockpit which is of course the better cruiser design. The aft cockpit is too narrow and poorly designed for practical use. The designer may have seen older Natur Swan designs and decided to copy but only half way… Inside, the only areas that make sense are the nav station and galley, the rest is again, a mix of ideas that provides problematic living conditions that get even worse with the disconnection from the cockpit. I’m sure there are some crazy sailors that will take this boat for probably half of the asking price. Anyway, fun seeing this video!

The joy of owning a boat, for most cruisers is 'not crossing oceans' it is hanging out in great anchorages in really interesting places. Yes, you want a boat that is seaworthy and can handle blue waters, but that boat wants windows and light down below, so it does not feel completely cut off from the environment. I nearly bought a Wasa 51that was originally set up for racing, but suffered from the same issues. Beautiful wood down below, but a little claustrophobic in terms of lack of light and windows. And that 7 foot draft, while you will love it on the ocean, you will hate it in the Bahamas and so many other really great cruising locations. Also, she will not be a comfortable ride and that makes a bigger difference than you might think. A real beauty but not perfect for cruising.

"Blue Water" is one of the most overused terms in today's boat sales. This Davidson 44, an IOR design dating back to the 80's, with its dagger keel and spade rudder, rod rigging, 7' 5" minimum draft, no helm access without passing through a side deck filled with tripping hazards, extremely limited cockpit drainage, a very large, apparently poorly secured lazarette, nine winch positions (including running backstays). lacking adequate safety rails and lines, both above deck and below, makes clear that this is again a misapplication of the term "Bluewater." I could go on, with listing issue, but none of these factors would lead me to call this fast coastal cruiser a "blue water" boat. I've nothing against fast Bluewater boats... I've sailed in fast monohulls and tris purpose built for fast passage making. This boat just doesn't keep to the criteria, the first aspect of which is survivability. The boat's eight year circumnavigation doesn't persuade me either. People have circumnavigated in all sorts of boats, many obviously unfit for purpose, so such a claim for this nicely kept cruiser doesn't surprise me, but nor would it persuade me to use a 31 year old Grand Prix style design, the Davidson 44, for the same purpose. New Zealander Laurie Davidson's 44 footer was originally designed to be race sailed by a crew of 12, and the settees down stairs were stacked pipe berths, and the v-berth was a sail locker. There seems to be some confusion as to how much below decks was from the California 1990 construction, and how much from later conversion. As an aside, the practice of painting engines to make them look more presentable to likely purchasers is an abuse that really needs to stop, How many fittings, lines and electrical components are now beyond inspection, covered with paint?

I know my preferred boat is in another league quality- and economically-wise, but from the same period (1985-95) and for safety, comfort, quality and overall pleasure I'd stick to something like a Hallberg-Rassy 42 (E) or a Najad 44 as my "Dream Bluewater Cruiser."

Totally unsuitable for offshore cruising, lack of forward view from the aft cockpit and the route below from the aft cockpit. reminds me of an 80s IOR 42 foot boat that I did a del with.

No one wants a 7'5" draft on a Cruising Boat. Good luck in the ICW and The Bahamas with that depth keel.

In Wild Seas, having to walk around on deck to get Up to the helm and back...is Not Ideal... blue water sailing will get you into some big seas....
