The Ultimate Blue-Water Classic: 1977 Islander Freeport 41 for Sale in La Paz, Mexico

Set sail on a legend. This 1977 Islander Freeport 41 is a rare find, combining the timeless design of Robert Perry with up-to-date engine, electronics and features to provide the rugged, long-keel stability required for serious offshore passage-making.

This beautifully maintained and upgraded vessel is ready to sail when you are. Unlike many vintage cruisers, this vessel features a modern Cummins B3.3 65 HP marine diesel engine with only 215 hours, newly installed in 2016. Experience incredible fuel economy, cruising at 6 knots while consuming only a half gallon of fuel per hour—ideal for the long reaches between Baja’s remote island anchorages to blue water cruising around the world.

Designed for true independence, this Freeport 41 is a powerhouse of self-sufficiency:
- Massive Solar Array: Equipped with two 330-watt solar panels and a 4,000-watt sinewave inverter.
- Reliable Power: Includes an Entec West 4,000-watt generator and a 120-amp alternator for total energy security.
- Substantial Capacities: Carry 200 gallons of fuel and 150 gallons of water, allowing for extended stays in pristine, uninhabited coves.
- Premium Inflatable Performance: A 9.5 ft Achilles hard-bottom dinghy with seat, bow locker and fuel tank, powered by a 4-stroke15hp Honda outboard motor.

This is a true sailor’s ketch, cruise-equipped with a versatile sail plan including furling main, furling mizzen, spinnaker, and storm jib. Navigation is made effortless with a full Raymarine electronics suite (Autopilot, Plotter, GPS, AIS, Depth, Fish) and the added mechanical advantages of a bow thruster and hydraulic wheel steering for precision handling in tight marinas and heavy seas. The spacious center cockpit is enclosed to protect from the cold and stormy weather and opens up to enjoy the sunshine and ocean breeze.

The Freeport 41 is famous for its "big boat" interior. With a wide 13.17’ beam and 7’ ceilings, the salon is incredibly spacious, featuring a full galley with a Force 10 stove with oven, an upright refrigerator and freezer, a deep freezer in the v-berth, a double SS sink, microwave oven, ample accommodations for family and guests, two heads and a huge amount of easy-access storage. The upgraded upholstery and new custom cockpit cushions offer extra comfort.

This majestic Islander Freeport 41 is a true turnkey vessel, no pending projects or expenses. She is very clean, has reliable electronics and mechanics, and a dinghy and motor. Located in La Paz, Baja California Sur, the gateway to the Sea of Cortez, this move-in ready staysail ketch is perfectly positioned to begin your journey through Mexico’s most breathtaking cruising grounds and beyond. With new bottom paint, she’s ready for your viewing before returning to the water.
