Maloose

Sloop Maloose

Maloose is a top-notch cruising yacht, all set to embark on its next journey. It boasts a collection of quality sails crafted by Carol Hasse in Port Townsend, Washington. The main sail features three reefs and convenient single-line reefing for the first two. Its head sail, a 120, is perfect for cruising. Additionally, there's a North Sail cruising asymmetrical and a blade sail for the inner forestay, though it's rarely used. For racing and light air, there's a triradial cut 145 gennaker by LG Sails of San Diego. Maloose also comes equipped with a riding sail for anchoring, a hard windscreen, and an isolated backstay. With 7 Anderson winches (6 two-speed and one single-speed on the mast), handling the sails is a breeze.

For power, Maloose features a 3.5 KW Nexgen generator, a Mastervolt Inverter/Charger (2000W), and two 80-watt solar panels along with a 160-watt Bluesky solar boost 2000, Kenwood Bluetooth receiver with Fusion Subwoofer and external cockpit speakers that sounds amazing. Other amenities include a stern anchor, a Raymarine RL80C chart plotter, a Raymarine autopilot, and an Espar interior heater. Powering it all is a 120 Amp alternator with a spare standard alternator. Maloose is well-prepared for cruising with plenty of spare parts including filters, belts, an autopilot ram, a prop, blocks, shackles, sheets, and new mooring lines.

The Malo 41-43, originating from Sweden's Malo Yachts, embodies strength, capability, and comfort for family cruising. Designed largely in-house with assistance from Mr. Hans Leander, it shares similarities with boats from Halberg-Rassey. The hull design is conventional, featuring moderate overhangs, and an arclike midsection. The Malo is moderately beamy with a length-to-beam ratio (L/B) of 3.27. Displacement sits at 23,100 pounds, giving it a D/L (displacement-to-length ratio) of 243, placing it in the medium displacement category. With a sensible draft of 6 feet, 5 inches, it strikes a balance between stability and versatility.
