2004 Hans Alma 42 | Custom Steel Cutter with Pilothouse & Centre Cockpit

Pop-Jobbles is a beautifully engineered 13m Hans Alma 42 Bermudan cutter, custom-built in England to exacting standards and launched in 2004. Constructed with a white steel hull, deck, and superstructure, this robust yacht features a centre cockpit and raised pilothouse, offering exceptional protection and visibility. With only two owners from new and currently lying in Kissamos port, Crete, she’s an ideal long-range cruiser for serious sailors seeking strength, comfort, and self-sufficiency.

Powered by a reliable 65hp Peugeot diesel engine with a reconditioned Thamesway hydraulic gearbox, Pop-Jobbles is equipped for extended offshore adventures. She boasts a powerful Vetus bow thruster, six 80W solar panels, a wind generator, 2000W inverter, and full shore power setup. The cutter rig includes a Z Spars furling mast (2009), roller-furling foresails, and top-tier winches for effortless sail handling. The autopilot system is fully integrated with Simrad controls and a hydraulic drive for confident single or short-handed cruising.

The interior offers a warm and practical layout, sleeping six across two private double cabins and convertible deckhouse seating. A spacious aft master features an island berth, while the forward cabin offers a V-berth with adjacent heads and shower. Galley highlights include a 3-burner hob, gas oven, dual fridge/freezer systems, microwave, and pressurised hot water. Fully equipped and VAT-paid within the EU, Pop-Jobbles represents a rare opportunity to own a rugged, liveaboard-ready yacht with extensive cruising capability.
