Description
Passport 41 (Te Arawa) for sale
Located in Marina Solarte, Bocas del Toro, Panama
The Passport 41 Te Arawa (V-berth configuration) was built as an update to the iconic Passport 40 with a taller rig, providing an expanded sail plan, as well as a molded swim platform on the transom.
Te Arawa spent most of her life in fresh water. In 2016 the last owner before me started
preparing her for offshore cruising (Hydrovane, watermaker) but when covid hit he was forced
to leave her in Guatemala. In 2021 I purchased her and moved aboard straight away. Until 2024 I was living aboard and cruising full time, so she has always been well taken care of.
In 2024 I started a refit in preparation to cross the Pacific but for personal reasons I have decided it’s time to go back home (Brazil), and since there’s a 100% import tax on foreign boats there I’m forced to sell. I'm motivated to sell quickly, so listing at what I consider to be a low price.
Important features on Te Arawa include:
- No teak decks
- Interior with solid teak staving
- MaxProp feathering propeller
- Spectra Watermaker (12GPH)

- Hydrovane wind pilot
