*** Due to the unforeseen death of one of the owner's of this vessel, the seller is dropping price to $299,000 and is hoping for a quick sale. All reasonable offers considered. ***CORAL RSQ is a rare offering: a proven, ocean-going classic with the kind of pedigree and presence that simply cannot be replicated. Designed by renowned New Zealand naval architect Alan Wright and built in 1973, this custom ketch-rigged motorsailer has spent over five decades doing exactly what she was designed to do—sail the world. With two full circumnavigations and tens of thousands of offshore miles beneath her twin keels, she stands as a testament to an era of yacht building defined by strength, craftsmanship, and enduring design.Her deep blue hull, sweeping sheerline, and traditional ketch rig evoke a timeless elegance that turns heads in every harbor. There is a quiet confidence in her profile—one that speaks to sailors who appreciate not just where a boat can take them, but the story she carries with her.Below deck, CORAL RSQ offers the warmth and practicality of a true passagemaker. Her layout is both generous and purposeful, featuring a private aft master suite with ensuite head, a forward V-berth with twin bunks, and an additional wet head for guests. The main salon is expansive and inviting, centered around a custom dining table, with a dedicated navigation station, reading nook, and a fully equipped galley—ideal for life aboard whether at anchor or underway.Her systems reflect a thoughtful balance between traditional reliability and modern upgrades. A well-maintained Gardner engine provides dependable auxiliary power, while solar and a robust AGM house bank support quiet, off-grid living. When needed, an 8kW generator ensures ample onboard power. Recent improvements—including updated electronics, autopilot, watermaker, Victron battery management, refrigeration, air conditioning, and refreshed interior finishes—enhance comfort and capability without compromising her classic soul.On deck, teak underfoot and wide, secure working areas reinforce her bluewater credentials. Dual helm stations—including a protected pilothouse helm—offer versatility in all conditions, while updated navigation equipment provides confidence on long passages.CORAL RSQ is not simply a vessel—it is a story, a companion, and a capable platform for the next great voyage. Opportunities to acquire a yacht of this character and proven history are increasingly rare. Offered for sale due to a change in circumstances, she is priced to encourage her next chapter to begin without delay. CORAL RSQ sits afloat in St Thomas, USVI, a duty-free port offering 0% sales tax to the buyer. For the sailor who values heritage, seaworthiness, and the romance of true bluewater cruising, CORAL RSQ awaits.Other Highlights MOTIVATED SELLER Updated Electronics Mooring & Tackle Included with Purchase Standing & Running Rigging Replaced 2023 Classic Sailing Ketch with robust history & multiple circumnavigations Solar Power & Large Battery Bank Double Keel  Full Suite of Sails Recent Survey Available by Request Multiple Recent Upgrades 0% Sales Tax in the US Virgin Islands Construction Cored FRP Construction with Molded Fiberglass Bulwarks, varnished teak cap rails Brightwork throughout vessel, Interior & Exterior  Deck beam carlings constructed of Kauri hardwood Overlapping Flange-Type Hull-to-Deck Joint Pilothouse Bridge & Hardtop Fastened & Glassed Marine Ply Bulkheads Bonded & Glassed to the Hull Watertight Bulkheads Fore & Aft of the Engine Compartment with Sealed Hatches
