Spending in excess of $100,000, the sellers renovated and updated this immaculately clean and well maintained vessel in 2021-2022.

In the 1980’s many trawlers were built in Taiwan boatyards; Bestway Marine was considered one of the top boat builders of the day. These trawlers are known for being built to last, with incredible teak joinery. One family owned Manana until her current owners bought her in March, 2021. They have spent their time of ownership updating her, but health issues force them to put her on the market.

The folding mast meet the bridge clearance requirements for America’s Great Loop.

The entire exterior of Manana was professionally repainted by the current owners. The bottom was also painted when Manana was on the hard in Fort Pierce, FL. The teak interior has been cleaned and polished; there are no current leaks. The owners have also updated all of the flybridge electronics, had the engine and generator serviced, added a new davit system and dinghy, redecorated the entire interior with new furniture and décor, replaced the galley appliances, painted the heads, updated the safety equipment, replaced all of the head and galley fixtures, and replaced all of the aft deck furniture. They have even replaced the doorknobs as needed! Manana is ready to cruise.

1987 Marine Trader LaBelle 40 Motor Yacht Accommodations

Salon

The salon on Manana is accessed either through the starboard side sliding door or through the double teak doors from the aft deck, and five steps down. There are four large, screened windows which slide open for ventilation. All of the windows have new white honeycomb one-finger shades and removable blue sun screens that are mounted on the exterior. The salon headroom is 6’ 6”. The salon is kept comfortable with its own Cruisair reverse cycle AC/heating unit. The four ceiling fixtures were all replaced with LED bulbs and courtesy lights were added beneath the windows valances in 2021.

The salon is tastefully decorated with two Crosley all-weather wicker loveseats and ottomans with neutral cloth cushions.  The nautical themed décor continues with a rope floor lamp, a rope counter-top lamp, an area rug on the teak and holly sole, decorative accents, and throw pillows. The two decorator end tables are versatile and can also be moved to the aft deck or flybridge. A wine rack is located at the pass-through to the galley. All of the décor is new since March 2021.

There are four electrical outlets, two each to starboard and port. Teak handholds are on the ceiling, and the handrails up to the aft deck have lovely curved ends. There are two stainless steel handholds at the starboard side exterior door, and there is storage in the step at that door. The lower helm is located to starboard.

Lower Helm

The operational lower helm station is to starboard.

Galley

The galley is forward of the salon, four steps down, to port.  The sole is teak and holly. The current owners updated the galley since ownership, including:  a Norcold N4000 12/110v Refrigerator/Freezer, a Kenyon 3 Burner Ceramic Cooktop, a Muave’ Microwave/Convection Oven/Grill, a grey “marble” Formica countertop, a Seagull IV water filtration system for drinking water, a large grey composite sink, and a one hand faucet with pull-down hose. They also added: a built-in pull-out spice cabinet next to the microwave, a utensil rack over the cooktop, two large storage drawers under the cooktop, and two additional recessed LED lights. 

The galley on Manana has a good deal of storage, with beautiful teak cabinets with lattice doors including over the sink and the pass-through to the salon. A large louvered door cabinet is under the sink, as well as four small drawers. An opening portlight with screen is over the sink, there is an outlet for small appliances at the countertop, and the refrigerator/freezer has a lattice opening next to it for ventilation.  

The galley ware with rubber ring bottoms, pots and pans, plastic drinkware, and utensils are all included and convey with the vessel. They have all had minimum usage. 

Dinette

Meals can be enjoyed on Manana at the dinette, to starboard, across from and on the same level as the galley. The teak and holly sole continues into the dinette. The two neutral fabric banquettes have a tri-fold teak table between them. The table converts to an additional berth with a cushion. 

The dinette area features: an opening portlight with screen, teak cabinets with lattice doors for additional storage, a storage drawer under the forward banquette, an electrical outlet, and access to the electrical components at the lower helm.

The windshield over the galley and dinette areas has three windows; the center window opens for ventilation. The windows not covered by blinds have UV coverage for solar protection. There are also removable blue sun shades on the outside of the windows.

The headroom in the VIP/Guest stateroom is 6’ 6”. A separate Cruisair reverse cycle AC/heating unit keeps the stateroom comfortable for your guests. A screened portlight to starboard provides ventilation.

1987 Marine Trader LaBelle 40 Motor Yacht Deck and Hull

The entire exterior of Manana was professionally painted in May 2021. The non-skid deck has a nice grid pattern.  The bottom was painted in June 2021. The handrails are also painted white, so there is no exterior teak to maintain. The current owners also replaced the lifeline.

Manana is professionally washed monthly and was detailed in April 2022. The bottom is cleaned monthly by a professional diver.

Foredeck

The foredeck of Manana features: two double fender racks, a teak burgee pole, a stainless-steel Samson Post, Powerwinch 603 windlass, and a 20kg Danforth style anchor with 300’ 5/8” rode. There is a stainless-steel chafe guard at each cleat. There are dual-trumpet horns to port.

Aft Deck

The open aft deck on Manana will be a favorite place to unwind and relax to watch a sunrise with a cup of coffee, or a sunset with your favorite beverage. The patterned ceiling has a very unique tin-type design. 

There is a cabinet to starboard with a Koblenz Sommelier Wine Refrigerator. The aft deck also features: four stainless steel hawse pipes, two “rocket launcher” style rod holders, five stereo speakers, a dimmable ceiling light added by the current owner, a Magma propane grill, and a bell. There is a pass-through to the flybridge. Double teak doors lead down into the salon, with a convenient teak handhold mounted over the steps.

The current owners furnished the aft deck with two Midland patio chairs, by Zipcode Design ($600 each) with canvas cushions and protective covers, and a Lucaya double ottoman with a Sunbrella fabric cushion ($470) with a protective cover. A large all-weather wicker deck box has two attached red cushions for guest seating, and two mounted stainless steel HYDDNice cup holders for your guests’ beverages. An outdoor area rug, a small end table, and an all-weather wicker trash bin complete the décor. The current owners spared no expense in the décor on Manana. They all convey with the vessel.

The deck box stores the propane tank for the Magma grill, a fold-up handicap ramp, Kent life-vests, the ditch bag, exterior décor pillows, and storage covers which all convey with the vessel.

Flybridge

There are four steps, with a sliding cover, from the aft deck to the flybridge to port. The large aft deck roof has stainless steel rails on both port and starboard. The lighted radar arch can fold either forward or aft. 

There are storage cabinets to port and an L-shaped settee to starboard with dark blue canvas cushions, and storage beneath. The dark blue bimini, which was replaced by the previous owner, was removed and professionally cleaned and waterproofed in July 2022. 

The Todd captain’s chair has a new cover. The helm station was extended, to port, to accommodate the new flybridge electronics. A new helm cover keeps the electronics out of the elements. The Plexiglas cover over the helm instruments was replaced; there is no Plexiglas windscreen, but the frame is still in place. 

A new Norcold beverage refrigerator is to starboard, with chart storage. There are also courtesy lights and stereo speakers on the flybridge. The openness allows for good visibility while underway.
