Broker's Comments:
Outstanding craftsmanship and design drove an extensive 10 year refit that addressed everything needed to upgrade this classic cruising schooner for world voyaging. Throughout this program care was taken to maintain authenticity while upgrading the vessel for voyaging safety at sea using modern equipment and materials.

From the keel up, every element of the original construction was evaluated and brought up to the highest contemporary standards. This included the "heavy lifting" associated with renewing the bare hull, fabricating a new rudder and steering system using high-tech materials and traditional bronze quadrant and components, building a new deck, house, cockpit, and complete interior with a layout optimized for comfortable living with a traditional feel.

The spars, rigging, sails, and navigation electronics were upgraded including a rig change from gaff to staysail type for easier sail management and flexibility offshore. The latest safety equipment is aboard including marine radios, AIS, and digital modem for WeatherFAX and Packet Radio via HF frequency communications. It's all there, well-thought-out and proven at sea on recent West Coast voyages.

Benefit from this costly, extensive refit and top quality design and fabrication found in this exceptional vessel. This is a turn-key opportunity to own a classic schooner that is ideal for living aboard in local waters or embarking on a cruising lifestyle for distant ports.
