General Description
The sellers have owned and cruised this beautifully maintained and upgraded center cockpit ketch for over 18 years, sailing over 100,000 nautical miles in safety and comfort. It is only due to major health issues that have forced them to put this great vessel up for sale. Once aboard, you can easily tell that this has been maintained by a former Air Force and Power Squadron mechanic.
Her 14’ beam offers a superior comfortable design layout. The upgraded galley, with large amount of refrigeration/freezer capacity and custom cabinetry, is a must see! Although not a walk around queen, the aft cabin is spacious and comfortable, as is the full bed V berth, both which have large ensuite heads. The Engine and systems access/workable space is second to none in a boat of this size and class. It even has a workbench and tool/parts storage area! Although privately owned, this boat does come with Coastwise endorsement. If you account for: the updated rigging and sails, wide easy to navigate deck, huge center cockpit, new electronics, water maker, solar, with large battery banks and a “goes forever” Perkins engine with an upgraded Hurth transmission, as well as beautiful, comfortable living spaces, with 2 bed, 2 head and a large salon, you can see this is definitely a perfect long term cruising/liveaboard sailboat with a short maintenance list!
Bluewater Yacht Sales is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. This boat is centrally listed by United Yacht Sales. It is offered as a convenience by this broker/dealer to its clients and is not intended to convey direct representation of a particular vessel
