With only three owners and a life confined to the Chesapeake Bay, "Dublin Luck" exemplifies the 309's blend of performance and comfort. Her shoal‑draft hull and in‑mast furling mainsail make handling simple, while reverse‑cycle heat & A/C keep her comfortable year‑round. A Raymarine Smart Pilot autopilot allows confident single‑handed cruising. This boat is exceptionally clean and well‑maintained.
