Vessel Highlights

This Sparkman and Stevens design might be the best example of the raised pilot house ever created for this size.
With her gleaming paint and spectacular varnished rails and doors she is the center of attention at all marinas and yacht clubs. Fuel burn at cruise is very economical which provides plenty of range.  


She has undergone multiple refits and upgrades through her life Her major living spaces have been updated. The original separated galley and dining room were converted to the “Country Kitchen” in the early 2000’s complete with all modern appliances and granite counter tops.


The main salon was re-vamped to allow for a more modern appearance with built in entertainment and 49 bottle wine cellar this room is great for an intimate gathering.
