Description

1979 Schucker 436 Motor Sailor – SOVEREIGNTY

Very roomy, comfortable, and solidly built. Boats like this simply aren’t made anymore—and if they were, the cost would be substantial. SOVEREIGNTY is a proven, capable motor sailor offering exceptional volume, comfort, and cruising efficiency.

An excellent family cruiser or liveaboard, she is US Coast Guard documented with a 2025 survey available. She has just completed a 1,500-mile voyage from Central America, followed by additional coastal cruising, clearly demonstrating her reliability and seaworthiness. Currently located in Charleston, South Carolina.

Kubota V3300 78 HP diesel, rebuilt in 2025
New transmission (2025)

Water: 200 gallons (sanitized and rebuilt in 2025)
Heavy fiberglass hull with no blisters and new bottom paint (2025)
Twin bilge keels for added stability and reduced roll

Electronics and Systems:

Raymarine autopilot, GPS navigation, and depth sounder
7.5 kW Kohler generator with approximately 1,300 hours
Hot water via 110V tank or engine heat exchanger

Comfort, Power and Climate Control:

Additional Notes:

SOVEREIGNTY would benefit from a new mainsail and some minor cosmetic refreshing, including flooring work localized to the helm deck area. Overall, she is a well-proven, comfortable motor sailor that is ready to continue cruising immediately.
