To say this boat has been extensively refitted is an understatement. Nearly everything is custom-built to the highest standards. Converted to a cutter rig with an extended boom, enlarged sails, extended keel, and custom bowsprit. Everything important was heavily reinforced and improved- including but not limited to the hull, keel bolts, mast step, portlights, engine, standing rigging, and deck fittings. All interior and exterior brightwork and cabinetry is custom teak and machined hardware. All plumbing, electrical, and systems have been upgraded. The work was done by a master craftsmen owner and boatyard manager who brought the quality and attention to detail up to a level that put the vessel in a whole new class among the finest yachts of its time. The boat has been meticulously, professionally, and lovingly cared for. The hull is solid fiberglass, with extra fiberglass added from keel to stern between the bulkheads. The boat was repowered in 1997 with a Yanmar 3GM30F which has been very well maintained (~2200 hours).
Be sure to ask to see photo documentation of the unbelievable custom work that was done to this one-of-a-kind sailboat, ready to splash with a huge list of equipment to go with it.
