About this yacht
This meticulously maintained, bluewater-ready vessel is currently waiting for her next owner in Savannah, GA. She has proven her wonderful capability and comfort in diverse offshore conditions, having successfully cruised from the UK through the Med, across the Atlantic, and throughout the Caribbean and Bahamas to the US.
She features fantastic recent upgrades, including a new autopilot, steering chain, lithium house batteries, expanded solar array, and a cozy full aft cockpit and helm enclosure. A comprehensive refit in the UK (2019–2020) added a new mast, boom, standing rigging, sails, and a Coppercoat antifouling system. Fully equipped for comfortable long-term liveaboard cruising or passagemaking, she includes an extensive inventory of spares and is ready for your next immediate adventure.
