Brokers Comments

Whisper is a proven sailing vessel; her original owner sailed her from Vancouver, BC, to the Hawaiian Islands and back north along the Alaska coast, then south back to Vancouver.  The second owner shipped her overland from BC to the Texas Gulf Coast, and her current owner, for the past forty years, has sailed her throughout the Bahamas, the US Virgin Islands, and along the East Coast. She is now on the hard in Indiantown, FL.
