Kaufman 49 for Sale –

REF1758 - Blue-water Offshore Cruiser • One Owner Since New • Heavy-Weather Proven Design.

This Kaufman 49, built in 1988 and owned by her current owner since new, is a highly respected blue-water cruising sailing yacht designed by F. Michael Kaufman & Robert Ladd and built by the renowned Ta Chiao yard in Taiwan.

Often referred to as the “Taiwan Swan”, she is widely appreciated among offshore sailors for her strength, seaworthiness and long-distance passage-making capability.

Built as a true ocean-going yacht, she features a robust heavy GRP hull, balsa-cored deck construction and a reliable cutter rig, offering exceptional balance and control in all sea conditions.

With only around 80 hulls ever produced, the Kaufman 49 remains a rare and sought-after offshore cruiser with a strong reputation for durability and safe heavy-weather performance.

Her interior layout is designed for extended blue-water living, offering two aft double en-suite cabins plus additional forward accommodation and one cabin with bunks, making her highly practical for long passages or live-aboard use.

Large stainless steel tanks provide excellent autonomy for extended cruising.

Powered by a Perkins 80HP engine, fully overhauled in September 2025 with only 10 hours since overhaul, she benefits from significant recent mechanical investment.

Major works completed in November 2025 include a renewed turbocharger, renewed cylinder head, renewed exhaust elbow and full servicing including oil and filter changes, air and diesel filters and cleaned heat exchangers, ensuring strong reliability for future ocean passages.

Additional technical highlights include partially renewed standing rigging (approx. 10 years ago), reinforcing her readiness for continued offshore use.

This Kaufman 49 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a proven blue-water cruising yacht with true ocean pedigree, exceptional structural integrity, and significant recent mechanical upgrades.
