Owners comments from many wonderful hours and days aboard:

"My favorite feature is the large salon and the galley being tucked away and out of traffic areas. The galley has plenty of storage and space for food prep and cooking. The interior is quite spacious and one never feels confined on inclement weather days, She is a very comfortable vessel for live aboard or for destination trips. She's an easy boat to sail for the newer sailors and can handle the winds and challenges for the more experienced mariner. The scoop transom makes it so easy to get in and out of the dinghy or back up on the boat from swimming. When you tie up with aft facing the dock, she is very easy to debark or carry provisions onto the boat."
