Major Price Reduction 6/22. Seller has no time for her. 100 years sailing Babylon YC Regattas and Great South Bay. Built in Connecticut as a seagoing yacht. 100% professionally rebuilt. This is an opportunity to own a very fine, like new but truly classic cruising cat. Replacement value more than $200,000! Her rebuild included many maintenance saving re-construction modernizations. However, care was taken to preserve her authenticity. Sabb diesel with keel cooler (900 hrs), variable pitch prop and optional hand start... parts easily obtained and inexpensive. Extremely reliable and effecient (10nm/gal @ hull speed). Vessel is dialed in and loves a 20 knot breeze.
