Owners comments
We purchased Betsy in 2021 & refitted her at vast expense in preparation for the Atlantic Rally Challenge & possible onward cruising in the Pacific. I have sailed all my life, including transatlantic & Biscay deliveries (this is my fourth yacht). We refitted her to minimise future maintenance problems at sea – for example replacing all through hull seacocks, shot blasting & awlgrip painting the spars, new battery charger and both headsail roller furlers, even though the original were fully functional, as well as modernising & overhauling all the existing equipment as listed above. As she was to be our home afloat, we also updated the interior, with new lighting systems, upholstery & Corian style galley worktops & updated heads with a vinyl wrap.
We considered many secondhand blue water boats and quickly learnt that an apparent ‘bargain’ would need a substantial 6 figure investment to prepare for the type of voyage we had in mind. We are delighted with the investment in Betsy – she has been a fast passage maker & supremely comfortable at sea & at anchor. She has been very lightly used and spent much of her previous life alone & ashore, as the images demonstrate. Sadly, due to family health issues, we will not be taking her on another ocean passage, but she is ready to enjoy the blue water again with a new owner, who we hope will love & appreciate her as much as we do. Available for viewing in Preveza, Greece (which is easily accessible from most of Europe during the summer) at any time with adequate notice & can be delivered anywhere in the world post purchase.
