Accommodation
Entering down the companionway the twin aft cabins are port and starboard. These can be open to the saloon via their sliding doors and drop down privacy panels. Storage lockers in both cabins. Forward you have the portside facing nav table and station with all electronics and nav gear at hand. Between the nav station and galley on port side is the large top loading fridge freezer unit. Forward again is the gas oven and cooktop. Opposite here you can find the large fold up dining table surrounded by seating. Lockers behind and storage below seating. Where there would normally be a small Vee berth in the bow, designers have located the head/vanity/shower cabin. Sleeping for 6 in the 2 x double cabins and a drop down table double berth. Plenty of opening ports and the stunning butterfly hatch over saloon provide much natural lighting and free air flow even on the dullest of days.

Remarks
Mascushla is a true blue water cruising yacht. Off the wind she easily achieves her displacement speed of 7.4 knots in a 12-15 knot breeze. Bayview yachts have a large following in North American with a strong association following - see Bayfield (and Gozzard) Owners Group on Facebook.
Mascushla's preparation by Kyle and Missy (previous owners) in 2018-19 and subsequent trouble free Pacific crossing 2020-22 is extensively covered on Youtube - see "four sheets to the wind" and "boat tour Bayfield 40 (SV Macushla) "
Her equipment level is extensive and also includes, cockpit cushions, cockpit boards (new 2023), engine spares, (including belts, water maker spares, impellers, spare steering and engine cables) tools, comprehensive documentation.
This yacht has seen plenty of offshore passages in her time and with some careful preparation, we are sure she will provide safe passage for new owners.
She has been priced to reflect owners desire to find new owners reasonably quickly so he can concentrate on other important needs.
Highly recommended viewing if you have been looking for a total ocean going package without breaking the bank. She has some serious offshore miles under her keel and is ready to head back out with new owners.
