Accomodations:
There is also an entryway/ventilation hatch for the v-berth on top of the forward coachroof. Going aft on either side of the boat you find the entry doors. When you enter the main cabin on the starboard side, you notice the lower helm on your right. The lower helm is fully equipped with engine gauges and radar. The sightlines are good from the lower helm. Opposite the helm is a large countertop. The radar and the forward air conditioner controls are here. Stepping down into the v-berth you see a large head with shower on the port and a hanging locker with a mirror on the starboard side. Both the fore and aft head were replaced in June of 2003. The v-berth is quite roomy and there is lots of shelving and drawers for storing clothes and equipment. There is a ventilation hatch above the v-berth for extra light and air. Moving aft into the salon you notice the large L-shaped dinette to starboard and the fully equipped galley to port. The dinette is extremely roomy and could easily seat 5 friends in a pinch. To port is a complete inline galley. The Tundra AC/DC refrigerator was new as of March of 2005 and there is plenty of counter space and storage room. The galley has a double stainless steel sink as well as a microwave and a 4 burner propane stove with an oven. The galley is positioned so that the cook can socialize while preparing the meal. The salon is large and airy with large windows. There is not a lot of heat here due to the twin air conditioners and the new curtains and sunshields that were put on in February of 2006. Moving further aft down a few steps you notice the beautiful wood doors to port. Behind the wood doors are a washer and a dryer. Please note that the washer is disconnected as of right now. Aft of the steps you find a large aft cabin. There are two large berths in this cabin one full and one twin and there is still enough room in the cabin to dance if you wanted to. The mattresses and cushions were replaced in June of 2004 with the exception of the dinette cushions. There is a large desk between the berths that could be used for a laptop computer or an entertainment center. Above the desk is a full width mirror that makes this large cabin space seem even larger. The forward end of the port berth has some drawers and there is plenty of storage above both berths. Forward and to starboard is the aft head. Both fore and aft heads work through a micropod system. This is a very large L-shaped head with a separate shower room. The cruising couple could share this space and it wouldn't feel close at all. The aft stateroom has plenty of natural and artificial light as well as a large ventilation and entrance hatch at the aft end of the space. This vessel is very efficiently laid out and shows what a time tested design, executed properly can be. This boat shows lots of care and upgrades over the last several years and is ready to go out cruising with her new owner.

Deck and Hull Equipment:

Sails and Rigging:
WALKTHROUGH: Starting from aft there is a large swim platform with a four step stainless steel boarding ladder. Just above the swim platform is a set of custom made dinghy davits. The davits would easily handle a 10 foot RIB. Stepping onto the aft deck you notice the wide walkways and the traditional styling of the vessel. The aft deck has a hatchway into the aft master berth. There is a traditional mast and boom located on the coachroof for an included riding sail. The mast also gives the radar a higher point of view. The aft deck also houses the 51 Watt solar panel. Stepping up on the coachroof leads to the flybridge. The flybridge has an abundance of space. There is plenty of storage and seating. Large padded seats to port and starboard flank the well-equipped helm. There is a refrigerator to starboard of the helm to keep the captain's favorites close at hand. Of particular note is that the bimini and enclosure were replaced in June of 2003. There is lots of shade to relax and watch the world go by from up here. Stepping back down onto the main deck and going forward you notice that there is an entryway on each side of the cabin. Going further forward you see the large foredeck. Handling the anchors is made easier by the wide walkway, large anchor pulpit and the Lofrans windlass.

Additional Equipment:
Broker's Comments This is a large vessel with lots of possibilities for living aboard or cruising wherever your heart may lead. She carries a lot of fuel but burns very little making a decent cruise speed. The last trip taken with the boat yielded a 3.8 miles per gallon at cruise. This boat should be seen before buying anything else on the market. She is a lot of boat for a small price. She is complete and ready to go cruising.
