Ready to head off to the Islands this winter then come take a look at this classic Cutter. Very good condition and well equipped, this is a true bluewater vessel that has been taken care of. The current owner has sailed her from Maine to the Caribbean, and she is ready to go again.

- She has both a RayMarine auto-pilot and a Monitor self steering system. The RayMarine auto-pilot has the control head mounted at the pedestal and a linear drive mounted below decks attached directly to the steering quadrant. The Monitor is known as 'bullet proof' and provides self steering capabilities when all else fails.
-Easy main sail handling including both a Harken 'batt car' system to facilitate raising and lowering the mainsail, and a 'single line' reefing system with the main halyard and reeefing lines led back to the cockpit. You can reef the main without having to leave the cockpit.
- Vesper Marine AIS transponder that alerts you to other AIS trafffic, alerts them to you, and provides you with calculated 'closest point of approach'.
In addition Nepenthe has many upgrades for safety and reliability including replaced chain plates, standing rigging, and lifelines.
Nepenthe's electronics include Furuno 'NavNet 3D' 8 inch chartplotter and a 4kw Furuno radar. The chartplotter is mounted on the cockpit pedestal in a NavPod inclosure. The chartplotter has electronic charts for the US east coast, Bahamas, and the Carribean.
