Comments / History from the original owner: "Angel Eyes" was built by the very talented trades people of Southern Ontario. She was rigged by the crew at South Shore Yachts - the same people that would have rigged Saga Yachts and others.
Her custom upholstery, mattresses, and all canvas work was performed by Peterson's Upholstery. This outstanding company would have performed the same work on million dollar Neptunus Yachts and many more.
You can't look at "Angel Eyes" without admiring her extensive stainless steel craftsmanship. Klacko Marine Fabrication performs their artistry on top of the line Bruckmann Yachts and many, many more. From her curvaceous pulpit to her often admired bimini/radar arch and everything in between, "Angel Eyes" is a Klacko show piece.
The same gentlemen that worked decades at C&C, Hinterholer, and Saga Yachts performed all of the electrical work on "Angel Eyes" including her panel, chargers, batteries, electric winch, and windlasses.
This list of talent goes on but suffice to say.........
"'Angel Eyes' was a professional build with the documentation to prove it."
After commissioning, she first saw water in September of 2011 on the Great Lakes. In October of that year, she was winter-stored on the hard until Spring of 2012 when she was relaunched to spend the summer in the Thousand Island/Kingston area of Lake Ontario.
From her very first anchorage to every fuel dock she visits, people come to admire and ask questions.
The fall of 2012 she was again winter stored on the hard until Spring of 2013.
July 1st of 2013 her journey began. Dock lines were tossed and from St. Catharines Ontario, "Angel Eyes" heads out the St. Lawrence River to Cape Breton Island. She traverses Bras d'Or Lake and sails to Lunenburg NS on her way to Maine, the Newport Boat Show, followed by the Annapolis Boat Show, before heading south on the ICW.
Fall of 2013 into Spring of 2014, "Angel Eyes" and crew had a great time in the Bahamas.
Summer of 2014 was spent in the Chesapeake - including Capital Yacht Club for the 4th of July, and when Fall came, it was back to the Bahamas waiting to team up with friends
Spring of 2015 sees "Angel Eyes" parting with friends in Le a Vache, Haiti and heading to Jamaica only to fall in love with Port Antonio and stay for many months.
Late fall of 2015, together with two companion boats, the south shore calls. A slow pace through the islands on the way to Cienfuegos.
Parting once again with friends puts "Angel Eyes" and crew in Isla Mujeres, Mexico for Christmas. Another number of fun months.
Once the northers settled down, it was off to Belize. Fishing and snorkeling for hours every day. Lighthouse Reef was magic.
April/May of 2016 and it's decision time. Where to go for the up coming hurricane season? Rio Dulce Guatemala is as safe as it gets, so off we go. Affordable at a beautiful marina. We have it all here so, like so many others, we stayed for way too long........... 4 years............ with no regrets.
In November of 2021 she was sailed back to Florida and placed for sale. In 2022 she was renamed 'Ramble On' by her current owners who have added their own story below:
Current Owners:
We've owned this beautiful blue water cruiser, 'Ramble On' for 4 years now. We have sailed her all around Tampa Bay, Egmont Key, the Manatee River and up and down the Gulf Coast to Boca Grande, Charlotte Harbour, Sanibel Island, Marco Island, the Florida Keys and the Dry Tortugas.
She is custom made and over - built by any standard and would feel at home in northern waters or blue waters. She outfitted to sail without having the leave the cockpit to trim sails and is a comfortable cutter rigged yacht. She offers plenty of space whether you are in the salon, the cockpit, the large full shower or in one of the berths. 'Ramble On' is built to be at ease, even in a rolly anchorage, or in the roughest seas anyone would want to take on. We know, we've been there on her and she has always brought us home safely. Custom built and incredibly well maintained, she will impress even the most discerning sailor(s).
Note: There is a photo log / journal of the yacht being commissioned that will convey with the sale of 'Ramble On'.
