Wharram Pahi 42 for Sale (FLorida)

[Jason Belmont]

It is with great sorrow that I write this post about my vessel Kaimalolo. I made too many mistakes however, mostly having little to do with the boat itself- as I will make effort to explain.

 

Her history is epic and tearjerking. Well maybe it just brings tears to my eyes. But she is literally made from dreams as you will find reading this article of how she came to be: http://www.caller2.com/newsarch/news10363.html

 

 

Since I have owned the vessel (about 18 months) she has made the folowing journeys without incident:

Panama City Beach, FL to Ft Riviera FL

Ft Riviera to Key West

Key West to Clearwater, FL

 

My story is really the cause of the boat going up for sale. Here it is in super fast forward:

Went to Tayrona Park, Colombia fell in love with Tropics. Got in my head the idea of buying a catamaran and moving to S America. Bought Kaimalolo from a Texan in Florida, who told me she was 100% "ready to go" (she wasn't at that time I later found ). Brought boat to Boatsmith to do repairs. Befriended a Colombian who helped me plan while repairs were getting done. Got completely screwed by Colombian and so decided to stay in the USA. Set backup plan to allow a sailor friend to charter it in Panama. Prepped boat for 8 months for the trip. Sailor friend backed out at very last minute but agreed to move it to affordable marina in Clearwater.  I'm too far from the boat and no longer have visions of living in the Tropics.

 

The boat is not perfect by any stretch but a LOT of work has gone into her and she is very sound and beautiful (in my opinion) vessel. While I have owned her I had the following upgrades/maintenance/repairs done (much done by Boatsmith , a world renowned Wharram building and repair expert ) .  THis was all done in the last 8 months :

* Beams completely repaired, refinished, and relashed   * Brand new trampolines  * Pod resurfaced and repainted * Bottom job  * Hulls painted , logos added   * Motor sleds fabricated * Solar shelf fabricated

* Helm re-engineered  * Every structural and safety issue that Boatsmith could find I had done with exception of reinforcing the stanchions/lifelines (as was planning to get those done in Panama)

 

The inventory of the boat is VAST, making her well equipped for global travel, liveaboard, charter etc. Here goes:

Yall may remember this boat. It wasfor sale for a couple of years in Panama City, FL. The boat does need some more work but is in overall pretty good shape. It used to be called ArenuiWaka.Unfortunately Jasonis an iinexperienced boater and made some bad mistakes. He bought thebought without a survey based upon the prior owners statements.Then he hired a guy in Panama Cityto work on the boatwho was also inexperienced and spent more moneyand time without satisfactory results.Then he brought the boat to us in Jupiter. We rebuilt the beams and repaired the troughs. Renewedallthe beam and rigging lashings installed new tramps,built new motor sleds, rebuilt the cockpitand did some other minor repairs. Still needs more work but at this point is in pretty good shape.
