This is another WOW alert!!! You got love a boat owned by two engineers, yes two!!! We have been real lucky to come across a few REALLY good boats lately but this one knocks it out of the park. It deserves that "Lickable Status" its so clean. On top of how clean it is, it is PERFECTLY set up for performance cruising for a couple. Take a Farr designed 40.7 Beneteau put a shoal keel (6'2'') on it, put electric self-tailing winches on it, a full B&G electronics package on it, Newer North 3Di sails, electric head, you get the picture. Who said a cruising boat can't be fun to sail???
