"Tamarack" is a two stateroom, two head layout, with sleeping for up to 8 crew. Very spacious, comfortable and designed to cruise or race long distances, as well as club racing around the harbors and bays. A large "garage" to starboard/aft of galley stores all the sailing gear you may need, and is easily accessible from the salon & the cockpit as well.
This boat is currently owned by and has been maintained by a former boat yard manager and well equipped and ready for serious round-the-buoys racing or fast, comfortable coastal cruising.
