Brokers Comments

38 Etap Sailing Vessel 1997


This 1997 38' I Etap Sloop is a rare find here in the United States and now available for purchase, located and stored on the hard in Indiantown. This second owner has taken excellent care of her while sailing her throughout Spain's waters, then had her shipped to the Virgin Islands, where they sailed her around the islands, and then shipped her again to South Florida, where she is now being given a new title for her new captain. The flush forward deck is wide open for lounging, and her walk-around side decks were made wide for safe passage. She has very long cockpit settees for sleeping or lounging.
