Owned for 40yrs and tons of time money and love has been put into this boat. We really want it to go to someone who will take it on adventure sailing offshore.

We are putting together a complete equipment list which I can email to you if you're seriously interested.

The boat can not stay at the Yacht Club it is currently at unless you are a member. So will have to be moved after the sale.
