Good condition 1986 Aloha 8.5 with solid sails and rigging. Westerbeke diesel engine
Classic Ted Brewer designed 1986 Aloha 8.5 cruising sloop. Canadian-built traditional modified fin cruiser with auxiliary Westerbeke diesel in nice condition.
The restored sloop has had most of the heavy work done and is ready to be enjoyed now while remaining projects are completed as desired. The engine was seen to start easily and run well.
Good sail inventory with good condition 110 headsail on endless line furler and original main in serviceable condition. The main has 2 reefing points and halyard leading aft for easy single or short-handed sailing.
The boat has a newer custom-made dodger with stainless steel frame and grab rails. Clear forward isinglass and an attachable sunshade included - great when at anchor to increase onboard comfort. Double lifelines offer secure access getting around topsides.
Below is large and open with numerous opening hatches. The layout is traditional with a forward cabin offering a V-berth and storage areas. Aft of that is an enclosed head to port with hanging locker to starboard. The toilet has been removed but there is a new black water tank and hoses to install a new MSD if desired. The unit could also be replaced with a composting toilet.
Further aft is a large salon with opposing settees (port converts to double bunk), bulkhead mounted table, galley aft with sink and large icebox. The stove has been removed and a propane one is offered in its stead. The boat offers large interior volume for the age and size of the boat.
The cockpit is comfortable with full-length settees and cushions. Self-tailing primary winches are port and starboard with a newer traveler at the aft end of the cockpit. There is a short tiller to the stern mounted rudder. A newer GPS plotter is present on a mount at the front of the cockpit.
Overall she presents well as a comfortable cruiser and is reported to perform well and handle comfortably in a wide variety of conditions. If you are looking to move up to a cruising sailboat with diesel for a minimal investment, this could be a great opportunity.
While we will always attempt to provide you with a TRUE representation of every vessel we market, during any purchase from Pop you will be encouraged to schedule an inspection from an independent, accredited surveyor and every purchase WILL ALWAYS BE subject to your satisfaction with the results from your independent survey and your own personal trial run.
We have several more Bayliner, Maxum, and Trophy vessels for sale. If you're in the Providence, New Haven, Hartford, or New Bedford areas, please contact us to let us know what you're looking for and we'll get back with you today about any other cruising sailboat options we have locally that may meet your needs.
