This fine Malo sailing yacht is offered by its original owner. Experience the classic craftsmanship of Swedish design. This fine vessel was built in the latter part of 2001 and commissioned in January of 2002 on Lake Union, Seattle, Washington. This vessel was displayed at the Seattle in Water Boat show that January and 4 months later at Pacific Sail Expo, Oakland, California. The cozy warm, cruising cockpit is both safe and practical with the traveler located above on an arch and control lines running aft. High cockpit coaming makes sitting comfortable while atop a Swedish boat cushion. Raymarine instruments are visible from the binnacle. This new model has a curved wind screen with a center pane that can be opened in the event of fog or for added ventilation. The entire cockpit can be covered by windows and canvas in 5 minutes. The autopilot will take you to your chosen waypoints. The wind instruments will maintain your headings to weather while automatically calculating wind shift corrections. The Yanmar Turbo Diesel efficiently propels the yacht burning a gallon an hour at 2500 RPM. While motor sailing the boat makes a comfortable 7 knots with no stress. The vessel carries 98 gallons of fuel and 145 gallons of water keeping the decks clear of extra containers. The aft cockpit design allows for two massive aft lazarettes with a transom ladder launching from the deck for swimming and showering.  

 

  From the owner: The Malo was commissioned at Sound Rigging in Lake Union, Seattle, January of 2001. The rigging shop was full of Swedish built sailing yachts due to the great exchange rate that briefly existed between the U.S. dollar and the Swedish Kroner. Maloose was displayed at the Seattle In The Water Boat Show. She stayed in the State of Washington for four months, making one trip through the San Juan islands to Port Sydney in Vancouver Island. She was then dismasted and trucked to the Pacific Sail Expo Boat Show in Oakland, California. We took delivery following the show and hired a captain taking her south to the Channel Islands Harbor, Oxnard. This proved to be an excellent area to hone our sailing and anchoring skills. During the 6 years there we made trips to the Santa Barbara Harbor, Catalina, San Diego with frequent trips to the Channel Islands. At the end of 2008 we retired and cast off for Mexico. On the way south we stopped in Ensenada to wait out a Santa Ana blow before heading for San Jose del Cabo. We arrived in La Paz, Baja California December 24th just in time to share a holiday meal with friends and owners of a Malo 39. That first season Maloose stayed in the Sea of Cortez venturing as far north as Bahai de Conception. The next season we sailed for Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta retuning to La Paz for hurricane season. This was a migration route that would be repeated each season until 2012. My furthest port of call south was Zihuantanejo. Maloose returned north to Ensenada and moored in Marina Coral for the next 12 years. From Ensenada summer trips were made up to Catalina and as far north as Santa Barbara. In 2010 Maloose underwent some refitting. A dripless shaft seal was added and Cutlass bearing was replaced. New hand made sails were ordered from the Carol Hasse loft at Port Townsend, Washington. Carol suggested changing the sail track on the main mast to a Strong Track System. This proved to be a weight savings as well as providing better functioning for raising and lowering the main and then flaking it on the boom. A new Harken lazy jack system was added along with new single reef lines aft to the cockpit. The reduced weight aloft improved the “righting moment” of the vessel. The halyards and control lines have been replaced with low stretch lines. The factory wire to line halyards were removed. Sheets have also been replaced, again with low stretch line. More control lines were led back to the cockpit on the starboard side. A larger clutch was added for the mainsheet. This was done on the port side adding better control of the main halyard and freeing up the secondary winch for other uses. The standing rigging is substantial for a vessel this size. The turn buckles are large. I had the opportunity to check out the chainplates in Kungsviken, Sweden at the Malo yard was impressed with the large stainless steel chainplates. Maloose has been hauled out every two years. I’ve been most fastidious in keeping the bottom clean. At times a DIY cleaning allowed me to keep a close eye on the condition of the bottom paint and hull. I have encountered bad weather in Maloose. I had just moved into a single slip in the La Cruz Marina, and that evening at 10:00 a microburst suddenly struck, we rolled about 30 degrees to The hull of Maloose is quite special as it is a sandwiched hull construction, it is fiberglass over a balsa core. This makes the boat very well insulated and quiet. If you have been in vessels that are solid fiberglass in cool water you can feel the clammy floor. The exterior of the hull is vinyl ester gelcoat. It does not require painting over. Just buff it out and polish with good boat wax. Catalina and Beneteau do not have this upgraded gelcoat! Maloose has a 145 tri-radial cut gennaker which is 4 years old. It has good shape and provides fine performance sailing close to weather. Crew is required to handle the longer sheets. Also there is an inner forestay with an original 90 degree sail that has not been used, a North Sail Asymmetrical, and a riding sail for anchorage. It should be noted that a friend who sailed his Malo 42” to French Polynesia and was caught in a 50 knot gale. He learned that with bare sticks she sailed at 6 knots. The shape of the Seldon mast is such that it provides forward thrust. She has Next Gen 3.5 generator from Florida. The best improvement I’ve made to Maloose is the Ample Power high output alternator with electronic regulator all with heavy duty wiring from the alternator to the battery bank. This is composed of new 6 6-volt golf cart batteries with 700 amp hours of storage at 12 volts. Maloose is on it’s third stove and second Force 10 duel burner stove with an excellent oven. She carries two propane tanks with a newer emergency switch and hoses. There is a separate one cubic foot freezer and fridge and both have had their compressors replaced by Dometic Marine compressors, both are efficient. The vessel has two wet heads. There is a transom shower with hot and cold water. Most water hoses have been replaced. Maloose has an updated 11 gallon water heater, again from Dometic, that will heat when the engine is running and also at 110 volts. A Mastervolt 50 amp battery charger and 2000 watt inverter are in the vessel. A solar boost module is employed with the solar panels. A complete library of manuals is included in the vessel. A new EPRIB is located in a large ditch bag in the aft lazarette. The Dingy and motor are included with the vessel. The Tohatsu 4 stroke 6 horse motor was just rebuilt. The Yanmar turbo diesel engine is 75 horse which is a strong motor for this size vessel making it one of the faster motor sailors in the Sea of Cortez. Some hoses have been replaced. It has two fuel filters and the vessel carries 90 gallons of fuel. She burns about a gallon a hour at 2500 RPMs. The motor starts immediately. She has a new wet exhaust muffler and the exhaust hose has been replaced. This is the most expensive hose on the vessel. The electronics are RayMarine. The chart plotter/radar was added 2 years after taking delivery along with the addition of an anti-yaw module. Have you ever been on a vessel that “wanders” while on autopilot? The cabin sole has been covered with carpeting. The interior is mahogany and teak. Some bulkheads are made from solid mahogany. The salon is surrounded by a curved seating couch and with bended teak, this feature was dropped in later Malo salons. The cabinet doors are of the older style construction. There are Corian counter tops through out. The vessel’s stereo system with a hidden sub woofer making for great sound! There is a great deal of storage on this vessel. There are two large lazarettes. There is secure storage for 2 scuba tanks. The vessel has a large amount of spares that represent a sizeable investment. Larger or similar sized vessels that are center cockpit do not have near the storage capacity.
