1983 CHERUBI 44 Ketch Hoboken New Jersey

This Cherubini 44 Ketch has seen a major refit in the last year including a new engine, fuel tank and all-new running gear. Her varnish gleams and she has been reviewed from stem to stern. She offers a 2-stateroom 2-head layout with a huge salon and galley in a traditional Herreshoff interior. Enjoy gunkholing with the shoal draft keel drawing only 4′ 10″ with the board up, and seakindly open ocean passages with a full 8′ 10” draft board down. Sappho is hull 22 of 35 built, and she shows the superb fit and finish details of Cherubini craftsmanship. A desirable aft cockpit ketch for offshore sailing, this medium displacement cruiser tracks very well and handles heavy weather with ease. Sappho’s hull was first laid up in 1981 and she was first commissioned and launched in 1983. She was also laid up for about 11 years 2008-2019. So her effective age is closer to 30 not 43 years.
