This boat is an excellent, well equipped, fast and comfortable yacht. The boat is a U.S. Coast Guard Documented vessel.
The current owner purchased the boat in 2014 and has been traveling the Caribbean islands with his family. This hard to find four cabin layout offers plenty of room for family, friends and/or crew. Each of the 4 cabins has room for 2 persons with double bunks in the two forward cabins and queen size bunks in the two aft. There are two heads, one port, one starboard, and these are accessible from the main saloon area, as well as privately from each of the aft cabins. For additional sleeping the table in the saloon drops down to make another large bed providing total sleeping accommodations for 10 persons.
The designer did a splendid job creating storage places throughout the boat. Personal items fit in a variety of spaces in the cabins and food, tool, or miscellaneous storage are abundant in the galley and saloon areas. The chart table has a lid that lifts to provide space for charts, log books and other important navigational items. In the cockpit the bench seating lifts to provide large dry storage for line, anchors, boat supplies, fuel tanks, snorkeling gear, or any other items that might be arranged to be there. Also in the cockpit a large deep storage locker under the starboard aft seat fits long and bulky items such as dingy oars, deck brushes, fenders and buckets. On the port side is a locker for the cooking gas tanks. The swim step also has large storage bins each side of the swim ladder. Up forward is a very large and deep locker accessible through a newly replaced hatch that can store just about anything form sails to suitcases.
The previous owner spent a year sailing up the Caribbean chain of islands while being outfitted for her trans Atlantic crossing.
