39 FT Kettenburg K-40 1960

‘Zephyrus III’ is one of 40 ever built — hull #11 of the iconic K-40 class. Built 1960 at Kettenburg Boat Works, San Diego. Philippine mahogany on steam-bent oak. Lead keel. Spruce spars. She’s a proven, fun, enjoyable coastal cruiser and local regatta performer with genuine offshore pedigree: second in class, 1965 Transpac; fourth overall, 1965 L.A.-Mazatlán. From 1997 to 2026, her owners invested 2,000-plus hours and a recent $50,000 in a 2023 South Coast Shipyards refit. Yanmar diesel w/450 hrs. Elliot Pattison sails. Profurl furling. She’s not a project. She’s ready for a new caretaker — after 30 years of same-owner stewardship. Contact Alan Peterson.
