Hi Alchemy,
You are right about it being a thing of beauty and well finished! I have known this
boat for maybe 15 years, as the owners sometimes
winter here, between excursions to
Alaska and the
South Pacific. Only found out it was not a glass
hull last year, it is that good. The
bilge is dry, no
water no
oil. Both owners are shipwrights of the old
school and after 80000 nmiles it is still in wonderful condition.
As to the price, remember who built this! Remember the 20 years and 80 000 miles the
builder has cruised on this FC boat. The over sized everything on the boat. I have a proven
blue water GF yacht. Maybe get $45-55k for it + the $32 000 of extras I have just put on it to
head off to the
South Pacific, if I would have known this boat was
for sale before I invested my life savings....... lol
As to similar boats, really ? In my 40 years on the Ocean most on the
North Pacific this is one of the few boats I have seen that I am envious of. I am proud as punch of my plastic boat, but if the gods would have looked another way?
Now I do know the owners, but in my humble opinion, FC or not, if anyone is looking for a serious
water sailing">Blue water Sailing Yacht, ones like this one do not come along very often.
