Boat Details

Description

This is a very able vessel by William Garden based upon his famous ‘Porpoise’ design. This boat is in exceptional condition for its age due to several factors. The boat was stored in a building unused for about a decade; and the current owners have spent a great deal of time restoring and up-dating her. Primarily, the teak decks were removed, coring issues addressed and much of the side decks have been covered with Treadmaster decking surface.

Lisbora is currently cruising the West Indies and will be underway for Bermuda Mid May.
