Unique Opportunity for Affordable Waterfront Living

Have you dreamed of living on the water but assumed it was out of reach? Looking for a unique waterfront retreat, floating Airbnb, dockominium, or year-round liveaboard without the price tag of waterfront real estate? WYNWARD offers an exceptional opportunity for the right buyer.

Offered at an exceptional value, this 1976 Marine Management 48 is mechanically sound with extensive investments in her systems and infrastructure. While cosmetic work (including carpentry, paint, and fiberglass) remains, the costly mechanical, electrical, and infrastructure upgrades have already been completed, making her an ideal opportunity for someone who's handy and ready to create something truly their own.

Powered by twin 325 hp GM 8V-71N Detroit Diesels (overhauled in 2005), WYNWARD cruises economically at 8 kts burning 8 gal/hour and can cruise up to 17 kts when you need some speed. She features two staterooms, two heads with separate showers, a full Galley with like-new appliances (including a washer/dryer), generous storage, and an expansive full-beam salon ready for your vision.

Offered as-is, WYNWARD is an affordable alternative to waterfront real estate and a rare chance to create a one-of-a-kind floating home, weekend retreat, income-producing rental, or liveaboard cruiser. Her fascinating history, including years as legendary designer Jim Wynne's personal yacht, is an added bonus.

Currently on the hard in Newburyport, MA, she is ready for her next owner to complete the transformation. The seller is highly motivated and has recently reduced the price for a quick sale.

Wynward was the personal yacht of the late Jim Wynne; he lived aboard for eight years and did extensive cruising in the Bahamas and the Florida Keys aboard her.

Some of Jim's accomplishments and designs are the invention and granting of a patent for the inboard/outboard stern drive which he sold to Volvo Penta, the Hatteras 32', Hatteras 36', and the complete Cruisers Inc. line -up to 1991, the complete Pheonix line -up to 1991, as well as models for Albin, Carver, Chris Craft, Cigarette, Donzi, Magnum, Queen Long, Trojan, and many other well-known boats. Jim also originated the "propeller pocket" or tunnel and he used that design onboard WYNWARD.

WYNWARD combines the qualities of both a planing hull and a displacement hull. Wynward will cruise economically @ 9kts consuming 8 gallons per hour or she will cruise up to 17 knots for those times when speed is important.

WYNWARD has many unique design features including 36 patents applied for at the time of build. There is one ladder from the stern cockpit down to the swim platform, all areas are accessed by stairs. The machinery space is located all the way aft under the cockpit with very short shafts turning propellers in tunnels eliminating vibration; this machinery space is separated from the rest of the living area by an insulated full bulkhead. The swim platform is actually part of the Hull increasing the waterline length and inhibiting exhaust mist from being pulled back into the cockpit from her under-transom exhaust. The hardtop flybridge (Portuguese Bridge) area is accessed by the steps, either port or starboard - the full walk-around bridge deck gives an added sense of security as well as easy access to the foredeck.

Below decks, the Guest Stateroom is forward and has two large comfortable berths, ample lockers, shelves, and hanging locker space with en-suite head and separate shower stall. Amidships is the full beam Main Salon with the option to have an L-shaped settee or table and chairs, to port is the Full Galley with ample storage, ice maker, full-size fridge with freezer, microwave, and coffee maker. Aft of the salon, down two steps, is the full-beam Master Suite.

This stateroom has a queen-sized berth on centerline with six oversized drawers underneath, and double hanging lockers. There is a lady's dressing table to port with eight drawers and an additional mirrored area forward with two drawers. The En-suite head is to starboard with a full stall shower. The current owner has done many customs upgrades and has left some of the boat undone so the next owner can customize it to their liking.

WYNWARD was built in Medley, Florida by Marina Management and then taken to Dania where she was finished by well-known shipwright Howard Abbey.

Wynward was built to cruise the shallow waters of south Florida and the Bahamas. She has a shallow draft of less than 4 feet with her keel being the lowest point. Her design has a full keel with propeller pockets offering excellent protection for the running gear in shallow water as well as providing very good longitudinal tracking underway.
