2014 John Pugh Crosswind | Just Do It

Just Do It is a professionally built John Pugh ‘Crosswind II’ Pilothouse sloop, designed for extended cruising and offering an exceptional liveaboard lifestyle. Launched in 2014, this yacht is meticulously maintained and fully equipped to meet the demands of long-distance voyaging. With a round bilge keel, Just Do It is ideal for sailing Western Australia’s northern coastline but is capable of taking her owners anywhere in the world.

Protection from the elements has been carefully considered. The central cockpit helm station on Just Do It is sheltered by a hardtop bimini, surrounded by brand-new clears. Forward, a fully enclosed pilothouse provides a second helm station with a genuine helm chair and an adjacent day bed, allowing for comfortable navigation in all conditions.

Below deck, Just Do It offers an open-plan saloon with white sofas, abundant natural light and elegant timberwork. The spacious galley, located forward of the saloon, is equipped with Miele appliances including a microwave, cooktop and oven, along with two of three large refrigeration units and a dishwasher. Adjacent to the galley is a cabin with double bunks, ideal for guests or children, and the first of two bathrooms.

Aft, there are two generous double cabins featuring quality timberwork and ample storage, with the second bathroom conveniently located on the port side. On deck, Just Do It is designed for shorthanded sailing, featuring multiple electric winches, powered furlers for the headsail, staysail and mainsail, and an electric davit system for easy tender handling.

Powered by a reliable 120hp shaft-drive Perkins 6-cylinder diesel engine with under 200 hours, docking is effortless with the forward bow thruster. Additional features include an Onan generator, electric toilets, air conditioning and heating throughout, comprehensive B&G and Raymarine electronics, and even a rear deck spa.

Yachts of this calibre are rarely built today due to high construction costs, estimated at around $2 million. Whether cruising Australia’s coastline or exploring the world’s oceans, Just Do It represents an exceptional opportunity to own a fully equipped, professionally built 2014 yacht at a fraction of its replacement cost.
