An experienced island hopper ready to take you on your next great adventure. This is not your usual assembly line, “Tupperware” boat. This custom-built bluewater sailer, with a bilge keel, is an impressive cruiser even when the weather turns ugly.

This is a cutter rigged boat with an extruded aluminum keel stepped mast and an extruded aluminum boom. There is a Profurl roller furling unit on the headstay and a Facnor LS130 furling unit on the cutter stay.

The sail inventory includes a mainsail, a 100% jib, a staysail, a storm jib, and a gale sail. All are serviceable with slides and bindings intact.

There are six (6) two-speed Lewmar winches and (2) single speed Lewmar winches. All in good working order.

While not under sail, the boat is powered by a naturally aspirated Nanni 50 HP diesel engine driving a Sauer Danfoss hydraulic drive pushing a 1-1/4” stainless steel shaft and a three-bladed bronze 19 x 16 prop. There is also a newer PSS shaft seal.

Ground tackle includes a 40kg Rocna anchor with 150 ft of 3/8” chain, a 45 lb CQR with 150’ of 3/4’ rode, and an additional emergency anchor. There is also a Lofrans Tigres 1500W electric windlass.

Nav electronics include two VHF radios (1 mounted, 1 handheld), Raymarine C-95 24 mile radar-plotter-depth finder, AIS transponder with GPS, Furuno Nav-500 autopilot (hydraulic drive), DST 800 speedlog, and a Galaxy Aquameter compass.

Electrical systems are charged via the high amp alternator, one 250 watt solar panel and one 100 watt orientable solar panel with a Blue Sky Solar-Boost 3024i controller, and a wind generator.

Electrical storage includes 1 Lifeline 12v GR24 AGM battery (engine), and 4 ROLLS 225 Amp hr AGM 6v (house).

Below, the accommodations include a forward cabin that has a V-berth, aft to port is the enclosed head, and to starboard are storage lockers. Continuing aft there is the main salon with a settee to Port, followed aft by the U-shaped galley. To starboard there is a convertible settee followed aft by the navigation station and then the quarter berth.

Interior finishes include Marine and teak plywood with solid teak trim, and some formica and painted surfaces. The cabin sole is plywood with teak and holly veneer overlay.
