SoSy has hardly been used by the current owner, with only 50 additional hours on the engine in 4+ years.
The owner used the boat primarily as an in-town apartment and didn't take her out except for day sails and the annual winter storage done by a professional yard.
This boat has the expected wear and tear of a boat of her age.
The seller is upgrading.
This is a great starter boat. In-mast main sail and a roller-furling genoa make for easy short-handed sailing.
