"Two Owner Boat, Meticulously Maintained"
This Choate 40 was built in Long Beach, CA by Dennis Choate Marine. It was a semi-custom build for the previous owner. The current owner purchased the yacht about 2 years ago. Both owners have maintained the vessel meticulously and it really shows.
The yacht has done a handful of offshore races in her past including Transpac and Cabo.There is a large racing sail inventory that is in good condition. In her later years she was set up for cruising with a Harken roller furler, lazy jacks, and an upgraded Raymarine electronics package.
A survey was done in 2020 and the surveyor stated that the owner "should be commended for his attention to maintenance and up keep."
The current owner is a local marine electrician and has enjoyed cruising the boat all over Catalina Island as well as entering a couple local races. He is relocating for work with his family and reluctantly looking to sell "Sendero" quickly.
