Well, all I can say is oh - my - goodness. For sale 5 years too soon for my 2019 retirement. Beautiful boat. If anyone picks this up and you ever resell it, please do it here on this forum. I will be watching.

Thank you for your comments. If she's not sold by the end of January I'll be either heading for Panama for a Pacific crossing or back to Wales.

Lying ashore'...on the hard, hauled out. She's in St.Martin Shipyard....luckily totally undamaged by the recent hurricane.

The Nymph Chelone....destined to wear her home on her back, like the previous owners. I liked the name and so didn't change it. (pronounced 'Chelonie' btw).

Tough tomake out the following fromthe pictures. Does this layout have the quarter cabin behind the galley? It doesn't look from the pictures that there is a full quarter birth behind the nav station.

Wonderful boat!
...I hope you end up sailing it across the pacific

[CaptJB]

I have also read the modified hull of the Telstar model dramatically improved windward performance for this heavy displacment class cruiser. Can you comment on that? I am looking for my retirement crusier for the bride and myself. I would be interested in seeing a spec sheet and any other info/photos you may have.

Hi, There's a double berth in the quarter cabin aft of the galley and the large space aft of the nav station is a locker on this particular boat though it would be easy enough to convert to a pilot berth by removing the small non structural bulkhead and louvered doors (Inside, it's lined with varnished teak staves). I hope that helps, Regards, JB.
