Description: 49’
steel sloop, French custom design, built in the
Philippines in 1983. A strong, proven
blue water cruiser for a
family or couple. Suitable for high latitudes or tropical cruising, she is a fast, stable cruiser that points well and is very forgiving. She has been a spacious
liveaboard for us and the previous owners. We hate to part with her but we’ve got one child starting college and another in high
school, so we are not able to
cruise for now. If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind, unbreakable
boat with an amazing cruising
record and enormous future potential, this is the
boat for you. USCG registered and currently located in
San Juan,
Puerto Rico with great boat yards and supplies and being in the
Caribbean, weeks of motoring upwind from the US mainland not required.
