We are about to cross from the Cape Verdes to the
Caribbean, where we'll be selling our gorgeous beloved 37 foot (on
deck, 51ft LOA) gaff
cutter. She's a home build from the 80s and we renovated her ourselves so there's no manual for this one! My partner and I have been cruising on her in the UK,
Med and Atlantic for over a year and a half and she's an extremely safe and comfortable, enjoyable
bluewater cruiser. We lived on her in the UK for three years before that - she also makes a great
liveaboard. Selling due to
work opportunities abroad.
