72' Deerfoot 72 Ketch '85 "Locura"
LOCURA is the Sole Asset of a Delaware Corporation and she is not an ordinary yacht! She was custom designed by Steve Dashew, engineered and built to exact specifications to be a true, independent offshore cruiser, easily handled by two people. The dependable, easily maintained systems were engineered into an exceptionally strong, yet aesthetically pleasing hull. The resulting yacht is a head turner wherever she goes and is a joy to sail.
She is equally comfortable in northern climates and in the tropics, with large opening hatches, dorades and reverse cycle heating and air conditioning. LOCURA cruises easily at 10 - 15 knots and can regularly cover over two hundred nautical miles per day. She is a "must-see" for anyone considering a cruising sailboat.
