Description
"OMURAMBA" a 1970 Swan 43 that has been well maintained by its owner cruising the waters of the northeast and Virgin Islands for the last 20 years. A new phase in life calls and OMURAMBA is ready for a new younger owner to continue to enjoy her. The Swan 43 known for ocean racing back in its day she is set up for cruising with a swept fin keel, a skeg hung rudder well aft and a hull design that is sea worthy and sea kindly. Boats built in the late sixtes early seventies were extremely overbuilt by modern standards.
She has a lot of miles under her keel but the owner has completed major restoration of the decks, toe rails, chainplats, mast, rigging and electrical systems. A new Volvo Penta 50 HP diesel inboard motor with all new drive components and maxi prop was installed in 2016 that has 350 hours on it. She has a nice complement of marine electronics, an Aries self steering wind vane, an Airex wind generator system and a recent canvas dodger not to mention a new fore and head stay this past season for precautionary measure.
Shown by appointment she is located on the Branford River

With a life-long passion for boats and the water much of what I've done in life has in one way or another involved boats. As a youngster, my family owned several boats which we kept in Branford, CT at the Indian Neck Yacht Club. After high school, I spent 15 years in the U.S. Coast Guard in which I spent 18 months in Alaska before returning to CT where I became certified as coxswain of Coast Guard search and rescue boats up to 44'.Â
After my Coast Guard service, I worked for 10 years in the wholesale marine equipment business where I supplied boatyards and marine dealers throughout Connecticut.Â
In 1983 I began selling new boats and have worked for two reputable Connecticut dealerships; 14 years at Milford Boat Works selling new Mako, Pursuit, Phoenix, Black Watch, Cape Dory, and North Coast powerboats plus O'Day, Cal, Pearson and Freedom sailboats. Then 14 years at Petzold's Marine selling Sabre, Back Cove, Silverton, Mainship, Luhrs, Egg Harbor and Ocean powerboats. I now have a long, successful history of selling quality new boats.Â
In 2013, after 30 years of selling new boats I was ready for a change. I decided to concentrate exclusively on the brokerage boat market. I joined Brewer Yacht Sales, one of the Northeast's largest yacht brokerage firms. I've now been at Brewer Yacht Sales for over 12 years. I work out of two of Safe Harbor's largest Connecticut marinas: Pilots Point Marina in Westbrook and Bruce & Johnsons Marina in Branford.Â
Buying or selling a yacht can be a comprehensive process and you should choose your broker carefully. I am proud of my reputation for honesty and my designation as a Certified Professional Yacht Broker (CPYB). With 40 years and over 1200 boat sales transactions behind me, the knowledge and experience I've gained are invaluable when it comes to protecting my client's interests. Whether you are considering buying or selling, power or sail, I can help. I look forward to working with you.
