Hard to find go-anywhere cruiser in very good condition! Always maintained, actively cruised, and well fitted, this boat has many upgrades and all systems work - ready to go after you stock her with supplies. Set up and refined by a very knowledgeable sailor with a deep resume in cruising boats, you'll find this an able single-hander or couples boat with room for occasional guests a quiet respite from the daily grind. Her enclosed pilothouse with opening windows and roof hatch give you the option of snug enclosure or a light & airy shaded helm.
Repowered with a Yanmar 3JH2E, packed with redundant systems, and set up for long journeys or gunkholing, "Freja" should be on your short list if you are looking for a bit more than a pocket cruiser and something less than a 40 footer. She's got an aluminum RIB with Electric Motor.
"Freja" has a 30' slip available for transfer at additional cost. Call for details and to set up a showing.
