Owner's comments
She has proved to be a capable passage maker (150nm Baltimore to St Marys Isles of Scilly in 22hrs,140 nm Kilronan Aran Is to Baltimore 20 hrs).
Iconic American cruising yacht fully equipped for single handed sailing. Experienced sailors will recognise the ease of sail handling that the batten cars coupled with lines led aft afford. They will also appreciate the lead keel with 37% ballast ratio giving a stable, competitive and stiff performance. The interior is a beautiful traditional wood lined space yet has all the mod cons while externally she looks good. This is a beautiful boat with impeccable sailing manners that has been fastidiously updated and maintained.
