1968 Dutch built in rolled Cor-ten
steel (no chines), built in the famous Maas Yard to Lloyd's
offshore standards in Breskens for North Sea conditions. This is a " Rabbit II " design by Dick Carter (his recent book is available), which was very advanced for its time, and placed well in many
offshore races, including 2nd place in the Fastnet and
Newport to
Bermuda. She went through a complete
restoration in
Maine in the 80s and was re-rigged with a taller, double spread rig. She is fast and very
seaworthy, with many offshore passages/cruises under her belt.
Draft is approx 7'2. She has been wonderful to myself and my
family for over a decade and we sail her weekly. Set up for easy
single handing.
She has been hauled every three years, most recently in 2020 at KKMI. The entire
boat was painted at that time (3 coats Micron on the bottom). Running and standing
rigging are in good condition. Reliable 4-107 with great
compression - runs like a Singer, looks its age. High Amp
alternator with a 2nd high amp spare onboard. Many spare
parts, dual
Racor system. Rebuilt Velvet drive and rebuilt
clutch plate. Starter
