40 FT Santa Cruz 40 1983
‘Osprey’. One of Bill Lee’s most iconic designs, actively sailed and maintained since 2018. Features a modified lengthened keel designed by Jim Antrim for enhanced offshore racing performance, with full performance polars included. Rig: Mast dropped, inspected, and powder coated. New sheaves throughout. New masthead VHF antenna. Standing rigging replaced 2019; running rigging updated 2021–2024. Engine: Recently serviced; Balmar battery management system; reinforced alternator brackets. Transmission shifting occasionally stiff — priced accordingly. Note: Heat exchanger not replaced during current ownership. SC40s are getting harder to find. With the Antrim keel and polars in hand, ‘Osprey’ is dialed for offshore racing — Pacific Cup, Transpac, or beer can.
