1976 Sailboat Manila Shipbuilders

A 63-foot motorsailer built by Manila Shipbuilders in 1976, this wooden-hulled yacht combines traditional craftsmanship with proven ocean-going capability. The hull is constructed from exotic hardwoods and was professionally rebuilt in 2002. Powered by a single Detroit Diesel 4-53 engine producing 80 horsepower, the engine has logged approximately 1,500 hours since its rebuild in 2003. The starter requires replacement and the transmission needs attention.

Below deck, the layout includes three private cabins, one additional space suitable as a fourth cabin or office, and one head. The interior is warm and functional, designed for extended cruising or liveaboard use. Four solar panels, each rated at 75 watts, provide off-grid power generation capability.

This motorsailer is well-suited to long-range exploration, cruising, or extended time away from shore infrastructure. The boat's size, design, and layout make it adaptable to various uses, from blue-water sailing to permanent residence.
