Discover the 1982 Chaser 39

Your Next Sailing Adventure Awaits

Step aboard this exceptional 1982 Chaser 39, a testament to rugged Canadian craftsmanship and classic sailing performance. Built to last with a unique monocoque construction (meaning a continuous, watertight hull-to-deck bond), this vessel provides a secure and stable ride in any conditions. The Chaser 39 is renowned for its strength, featuring an 8,000 lb encapsulated lead ballast and GRP encapsulated balsa stringers. The topsides have been recently painted with two-component Epiphanies paint, giving her a refreshed look.

This beautiful sailboat, available exclusively through Breezeway Yachts, is perfectly equipped for cruising the beautiful waters of Lake Ontario, Georgian Bay, and beyond. Her capabilities are well-suited for exploring North America's diverse inland and coastal waterways, offering a reliable platform for everything from weekend regattas to extended cruises.
