40' Pilothouse Cutter Buehler

Built in BC 1997/1998 by a professional welder/fabricator and launched in 1999. She is ruggedly constructed in steel, including steel decks and cabin. Eos is a proven capable heavy weather sailor and is well equipped and ready for living aboard, coastal or offshore passages.

The boat was constructed with ease of use, strength and simplicity in mind. She is tough, graceful, a sweet sailor and very functional. Eos is reminiscent of the days of working sail. She's at home on a commercial dock and constantly draws admiration from fishermen and tug-boaters! She sails very easily and due her deep keel and heavy displacement has a very easy motion in big water and is handily double handed or even single handed with the aid of the autopilot. She heaves to very naturally. She readily handles all points of sail, and tacking is simple with her club-footed jib. She is well flared on her topsides and stands up well to the wind. Full keel, fully skegged rudder and protected prop. Traditional lines and old world sea-keeping abilities.

Her interior is simple, functional and sunny and is set up on an open concept. Companionway leads into bright and airy pilothouse, helm on starboard side, pilot berth on port side. Steps lead down into main area with large functional galley on port side and large settee on stbd which converts to double berth. Continuing forward there is a large head with shower on the port, with berth/counter on stbd, storage underneath. Finally to the V-berth which is huge and comfortable for two, with cubby-holes either side for clothing. V-berth terminates at water-tight bulkhead. Foc'sle is large and has ample room for sails, spare lines, fenders and spare anchors.
