A near-perfect Oyster 46.

With the exception of one Caribbean winter, WILLOW has been a seasonally used boat kept in New England. Some recent improvements include all new canvas, new cockpit cushions, new non-skid, new varnished toe rail, new North sails and new AV system.

She is without a doubt the best kept Oyster 46 available today, and half the price of a new Oyster 46/475.
