Crowther Windspeed 39


Trade Runner is for sale
Proven Ocean Cruiser | Extensive Upgrades 2023-2026 | 
She is a modified Crowther Windspeed 39 with a long history as a reliable cruising boat, which can be sailed easily solo or two-up, but can accommodate more, with two queen size, one double and two single berths if required. We have lived aboard full time for the past 3 years and have found her a comfortable, practical, seaworthy boat. She sails fast(20kt), tracks well upwind and is super stable. She was built strong, using state of the art vacuum bagging sandwich techniques, using epoxy resin, glass and Kevlar.
In the 3 years we have owned her, we have replaced the Standing Rigging, Sails, batteries (400Ah Lithium), Radio, Instruments, Battery Chargers and regulators, Solar Panels and much more(full list below)
Trade Runner is fully self sufficient, we don't have a genset and have never needed one even while living on Anchor for the majority of the last 3 years.
Since buying her we've sailed from Eden-Sydney-Thursday Island-Darwin-Lombok-5000nm around east Indonesia-Darwin and now in Gove
We made many videos along the way, from initial purchase, Refit in Cronulla, Mad Dash to Lombok and so many more.
Trade Runner is designed to sail well. She has dagger boards for upwind performance and easy tacking and clever cassette mounted rudders to reduce the draft when necessary. She also has a rotating mast and articulating bowsprit.
She comes with a 2023 UL3.1m Highfield Hypalon tender with 15hp Yamaha and is Australian Registered. Motors are Nanni 21HP Diesels (1600hrs)
The topopsides need painting and this will be completed in September if the boat hasn't sold by then. If someone with DIY skills wanted to complete the painting themselves then I would reduce the price accordingly.
The boat will not be stripped out for sale. We bought her ready to go and she will be sold the same way. Included in the sale are safety and wet weather gear, spares, tools (Socket Set, Screw Drivers, Water Blaster, etc etc.
