1978 Cape Horn 40 OFFSHORE SLOOP Wandering Star is an extremely strong cruiser, safe, comfortable, and sturdy, with an interior as roomy, or roomier, than a Morgan OI-41, and she is eager to go cruising again. She is currently located on the Rio Dulce in Guatemala, prime Caribbean cruising grounds with Belize a half-day north and the Bay Islands of Honduras an overnighter to the east. Full service marinas, marine surveyors, and haul-out facilities are all available in the Rio Dulce. She can be purchased where she lies and head out for some of the finest waters in the Caribbean, only a half-day from the southern end of the Belizean Reef, the longest barrier reef in this hemisphere. Wandering Star was owned by author Stephen J. Pavlidis for over twenty years as IV Play, during which time he sailed the waters of the Bahamas and Caribbean and wrote numerous cruising guides to those waters. She is one of eight Cape Horn 40s built in Miami in 1978, two of which have made trans-Atlantic crossings. Her current owner has overseen extensive renovations and improvements which have been made by professional craftsmen under his direct supervision. Her comfortable, well-appointed interior, featuring numerous updates, a large aft cabin with adjacent aft head, completely redesigned galley, and spacious main cabin will make her an excellent choice for a couple who wish to live aboard or sail the seven seas.
