Statement from the owner:
This yacht has been a dream to sail and very comfortable at anchor or dock. In the lightest of breezes to thirty knot winds, I found it to be extremely responsive, balanced and very manageable, with just my wife and I as crew. The cockpit always remained dry, even in the worst Chesapeake chop. The full batten main is powerful, yet easy to manage with it’s two line Harken sail block reefing system, which is managed from the cockpit. The Harken powered winch and Dutchman flaking system make the full batten main very simple and quick business. The first owner of the boat was a very experienced sailor who took very good care of her. I’m the second owner and have only used professionals to maintain her to the highest standards that were offered. During my ownership, she was dry docked each year and had the bottom serviced.At the dock or underway, we always receive compliments on her beauty. It’s not uncommon to have other boats come up along side and take photos of her. Life is too short to have an ugly boat!
