1984 Sigma 41, 59 000 USD

The Sigma 41 is widely regarded as one of the most capable racer-cruisers of her generation — a design that combines lessons learned in the toughest offshore races with refined performance for ocean passagemaking. Kahu is an exceptional example, refitted from stem to stern by experienced owners and proven on the family’s Atlantic crossing from Europe to Brazil, then the subsequent cruise north to the Caribbean. Her build quality, balance under sail, and seaworthiness are hallmarks of David Thomas’s designs, while her deep fin keel and fractional rig deliver the performance and handling that make the Sigma 41 a success in offshore racing and passagemaking alike.

Below decks, Kahu is smartly laid out for bluewater voyaging, with two private cabins, two heads, real sea berths, and an efficient galley and nav area. Her systems were comprehensively upgraded between 2023 and 2025 for reliability, comfort, and self-sufficiency.

The New Zealand–flagged owners have enjoyed Kahu as a safe, powerful, and comfortable cruiser capable of excellent daily mileage. Their Atlantic and South American voyage confirmed her as a yacht that handles ocean conditions with ease and remains well-mannered and quiet at anchor. She is now offered for sale as they cruise the Caribbean.

Kahu represents an unbeatable combination of strength, recent investment, and proven bluewater ability that you can rely on to take you further, have more fun, and get there faster, too!
