1979 Corbin 39 — Honah Lee

Honah-Lee II is a proven cruising vessel with a practical, spacious interior designed for comfortable life aboard. Her minimalist layout makes excellent use of the available space, creating an open and inviting atmosphere with plenty of room for family or guests. The interior includes functional updates such as epoxy countertops, while offering a solid foundation for a new owner to refresh and personalize.

Originally built by her first owner in Quebec, Honah-Lee II has an extensive cruising history. She is believed to have crossed the Atlantic with her original owner, while subsequent owners continued her adventures through Central and South America and throughout the Caribbean.

Now with her fourth owner, Honah-Lee II would benefit from some cosmetic attention, general maintenance and updating to bring her back to her best. She remains a capable and proven cruising platform with plenty of potential for a buyer looking for a solid boat to continue exploring the Caribbean.
