'Wind Spirit' is a 30' Newport Mark III Bahamas Cruiser with New Upgrades.
Located in Bay St. Louis Mississippi
'Wind Spirit' is a meticulously maintained and refitted 1985 Capital Yachts Newport 30 Mark III; a surprisingly spacious, fast sloop beautifully upgraded for comfortable cruising. Designed by Gary Mull, she is very similar to a Catalina 30, but slightly bigger and faster. Wind Spirit is a great couples boat for cruising in the Bahamas and Caribbean or for inexperienced sailors looking for a forgiving boat.
All lines lead aft to the cockpit, so she is easy to single-hand and points well into the wind. We learned how to sail on this boat, so shes very patient and forgiving at sea.
'Wind Spirit' is also a low-maintenance boat with little exterior wood to varnish, 6’ 3”-of headroom and lots of storage.
Her engine was Refurbished in 2014 by her previous owner. In 2015 her upgraded her on the hard from the outer-hull inward for years of safe, reliable cruising in the Bahamas.
Fortunately for us and you, the hard, grinding and shockingly expensive work of getting her refitted and upgraded has already been done... especially the crucial physical/mechanical details that often go unappreciated until you skirt a potential disaster.
'Wind Spirit' is definitely a MUST-SEE before buying any other coastal cruiser... and she looks as good in person as she does in the photos!
