If you are looking for your dreamboat, a sloop for cruising through the blue Bahamas, Florida Keys
or your favorite bluewater destination, you must see this custom-built classic. Literally, there is no other boat like it.
Kolahoi has been owned and enjoyed by the same family for the
past 18 years, and has spent many good times in Florida and Bahamian waters. It was purchased from the estate of Ray Creekmore,
and he was the only other owner—as well as the designer and builder—of this sloop. (To learn more about Creekmore,
whose boats can be found around the world, click the link below.)
Kolahoi's hull was repainted in October 2005, and she was totally refurbished in the early 1990s, including
rewiring (DC only) with new electric panel, new bow rail, new fuel and water tanks, refrigeration, bow pulpit, and dual anchor
pulpits. Other Kolahoi details include:
