Artha, a 1978 Bristol Channel Cutter for sale, is a 28-foot LOD cutter-rigged bluewater sloop designed by Lyle Hess, with a 10-foot beam, 4-foot-10-inch draft, transom-hung rudder, a 6-foot bowsprit, and a boomkin aft that stretches overall length to just over 37 feet.0:38 Ground tackle is a 45-pound Mantus anchor on 120 feet of 3/8-inch high-test chain plus 175 feet of half-inch nylon rode.0:45 Nicole, the sole owner, bought the boat in severely neglected condition at a boatyard in Luperon, Dominican Republic, and spent 14 months completing a full refit solo — blister removal, rudder and bowsprit rebuild, copper coating, rigging overhaul, and a complete interior upgrade.1:16 The galley runs on an electric inverter setup with no propane; a watermaker produces two gallons per hour.2:23 The Yankee jib rides a Harken Ocean furler; the main drives a 15-foot boom.2:52 Diesel and auxiliary fuel capacity totals roughly 50 gallons.13:20 Nicole confirms she is done solo cruising and is selling Artha, citing the physical and mental toll of single-handed passage-making, including a season in the Bahamas where her impeller failed, navigation went down, and the rudder nearly separated offshore.30:08
