Additional Information
This boat has all the "yes" answers - wheel steering, diesel engine, roller furling . . . Her fractional rig allows for high performance if you want to race yet she's rigged for single-handing and is easy enough for a beginner to handle. Her all-teak interior is warm and cozy and the bulkhead-mounted table allows for dance floor space in the main salon. Only 28-feet, but she has the feel of a much larger boat down below. Well-kept and ready to sail whenever her new owner finds her.
