1977 Custom 80 Brigantine

An 80-foot brigantine built in 1977 with a composite hull, this custom sailing yacht combines traditional rigging with substantial sea-going capability. The boat is designed for serious cruising and expedition work, with a beam of 19 feet providing stability and room below decks.

The interior comprises five cabins and two heads, offering comfortable accommodation for owner and crew or passengers over extended voyages. The brigantine rig provides excellent sailing characteristics and redundancy—a significant advantage for ocean passage-making and self-sufficiency at sea.

The yacht is powered by a Cummins engine and maintains the solid construction expected of a vessel built to this scale and purpose. A composite hull offers durability and requires less maintenance than traditional wood construction. This is a rare example of custom brigantine design, built at a scale suited to serious bluewater work.
