MAYA RAY

MAYA RAY is a singularly beautiful Farr designed sloop that is fast, exciting and luxurious! She has served her first and only owner and his family well over the past eight years in all oceans of the world. This is a beautiful cruising yacht deliberately designed to be serviced and maintained by her crew, systems are simple to understand, and care has been taken to provide easy access. She has been meticulously looked after with regular yard periods and refits.

MAYA RAY is now offered for the first time on the brokerage market and has been realistically priced for a quick sale.

Launched in 2000, MAYA RAY accommodates up to eight guests in four staterooms aft, and up to five crew in two cabins forward.

MAYA RAY is a cutter rigged sloop with roller furling on the genoa and staysail, and a conventional Park Avenue boom controlling the fully battened mainsail. Although she is relatively light, she is not overly "high tech", (for instance all her winches are conventional hydraulic Lewmar self tailers), as the owner's requirement was for a fast, comfortable world cruiser that can be maintained by an experienced crew in remote cruising areas without the need to find "repair technicians".

This goal has been admirably achieved. MAYA RAY was sailed from her builders in Cape Town, South Africa, to the Caribbean in early 2000. She cruised the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, and stopped in Cape Town in 2005/2006 for a refit by her builder. Then to the Caribbean again, and on to the Mediterranean. In this time she has had exceptional care by a knowledgeable and experienced owner. The entire rig has been replaced, all systems regularly serviced, and MAYA RAY is presented for sale in superb condition.

The entire interior of MAYA RAY is in foam cored blond teak paneling, grain matched to perfection. Cabin soles are teak and holly, and deck head liners are white ultra suede.
