A Rare Opportunity: 1989 J/40 "Mimosa" - Cruise Ready
For the next 60 days, a unique chance exists to purchase Mimosa, a 1989 J/40 that is fully equipped and ready for bluewater cruising. Currently located in Nouméa, New Caledonia, the yacht will soon move on to the Australian market--where mandatory import duties will drive the price higher.
Mimosa recently completed a 6,000+ mile passage from San Francisco Bay to Nouméa. The only reason she is now for sale is the owner's need to return to the U. S. And the lack of a suitable weather window to continue the voyage.
In preparation for this Pacific crossing, Mimosa underwent an extensive two-year refit with major upgrades and comprehensive safety and cruising gear. The result is a true turn-key bluewater yacht, proven at sea and ready to continue her journey.
Highlights of her extensive inventory include:
o Yanmar 40hp diesel with just 300 hours
o North 3Di full-batten mainsail
o Quantum 130% Hydranet genoa
o 100% jib, storm jib, asymmetric & symmetric spinnakers
o Standing and running rigging in excellent condition
o Hydrovane self-steering system
o Katadyn Survivor 40E watermaker
o Starlink satellite internet
o And much more... (see full equipment list on our website)
The vessel was professionally surveyed in 2021 and again prior to departure in 2025, confirming her excellent condition.
Whether you're a cruiser or a racer, Mimosa represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a proven, well-equipped, turn-key bluewater yacht at significant value
