S/V Phantom — a 1982 Reliance 44 located in Luperon, Dominican Republic, for sale by broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary.
The Reliance 44 is a rugged, heavy-built bluewater cruiser with a long keel, solid fiberglass construction, and a distinctive profile. Each boat is unique due to owner finishes. Phantom, in particular, needs some TLC to be brought back to her full potential.
The Reliance 44 is known for her strong, heavy-built construction, full keel, and beautiful, classic lines that make her a capable bluewater cruiser. Designed with strength and safety in mind, she offers a solid platform and a timeless aesthetic.
This boat has been unattended for a couple of years and will benefit from some TLC and recommissioning. The engine does run, but she should be viewed as a light project for someone looking to bring a well-built vessel back to her former glory.
