Bluewater Cruiser for Sale – Gozzard 36E Fully Refitted and Ready to Sail S/V INNISFREE is a Canadian-built and registered Gozzard 36E, thoughtfully upgraded and exceptionally well equipped for serious offshore cruising and liveaboard life. Currently lying in Licata, Sicily (EU VAT unpaid), she is ideal for North American sailors seeking to explore the Mediterranean before crossing to the Caribbean or homeward to North America. Built by Gozzard Yachts, this cutter-rigged cruiser is renowned for its robust construction, classic lines, and smart layout tailored for a cruising couple.
A major refit in 2021 included a new Beta 50 engine, all-new standing and running rigging, a diesel hydronic heating system, and a complete electrical overhaul. Energy independence is supported by 400Ah lithium batteries, 860W solar, and a full Victron suite with a 2000W inverter/charger, Cerbo GX, and MPPT controllers. The sail plan includes a 2023 Yankee, self-tacking staysail, asymmetric spinnaker, storm trysail, and more — all optimized for shorthanded sailing with cockpit-led controls, full enclosure, and a heavy-duty mainsheet arch and davits.
Her interior features handcrafted cherry joinery, off-white Ultraleather upholstery (2023), a king-sized aft berth, convertible forward salon, U-shaped galley with dinette, a full nav station, and a large head with separate shower. Modern navigation and communications include B&G Zeus MFDs, radar, AIS, Iridium GO!, dual autopilots, and NMEA2000 integration. A Highfield UL260 dinghy (2021), Suzuki 6hp outboard (2023), Torqeedo electric motor (2024), 50L/h watermaker, and full offshore safety equipment make INNISFREE truly ocean-ready.
