The Howdy Bailey Marine 88ft Steel Schooner, "Ocean Star," is a sail training vessel currently for sale, located in English Harbour, Antigua and Barbuda. Built in 1990 by Howdy Bailey Marine Metals and designed by Murray G. Peterson, the Ocean Star has been actively used as a training vessel since 1999. She has a length of 26.82 meters and a beam of 5.64 meters. Recently refurbished with new masts, standing and running rigging in 2018, she is MCA Red Ensign-flagged in the British Virgin Islands and holds a Small Commercial Vessel Certificate, allowing her to carry 16 trainees or 12 passengers along with four crew in Category 1 waters. Ocean Star is well-equipped for offshore voyages, featuring electrical generation, water-making capabilities, freezer storage, and a functional galley. Versatile in her use, she can continue her role as a training vessel, transition to a private yacht, operate as a live-aboard expedition vessel, or serve as a commercial day-sailing operator. Due to her US construction and lack of substantial modification, she can potentially be repatriated as a documented commercial vessel in the USA.
Sail Training Vessel Ocean Star
Boat is located in: Antigua/Leeward Islands
Ocean Star has been operating as a sail training vessel for our company since we acquired her in 1999. She was built by the owners of Ocean Navigator Magazine in 1990 at Howdy Bailey Marine Metals in Norfolk, Virginia, and was designed by Murray G. Peterson. Ocean Star is currently MCA Red Ensign-flagged in the British Virgin Islands and she has a current Small Commercial Vessel Certificate to sail with 16 trainees (or 12 passengers) and four crew in Category 1 waters.
Ocean Star is a robustly built steel schooner with all new masts, standing rigging, and running rigging installed in 2018. She sails with 20 persons aboard, in individual berths, and has the electrical generation, watermarking capabilities, freezer storage and galley facilities to support offshore sailing with a full crew.
Ocean Star is ready to continue as an offshore/passage making training vessel, be converted to a private vessel, operate as a live aboard watersports expedition vessel or operate in the British Virgin Islands as a commercial day-sailing operator. Because the vessel is US built and has not been substanially modified, it is possible to bring her back into the USA as a documented commercial vessel.
