An article in Cruising World Magazine on this boat will be coming out in the October 2022 issue.

Prior owner was Sandy Van Zandt, famous sailmaker and circumnavigator who personally outfitted the boat for 8 years before selling her to us. This vessel was entered into the 2015 Bermuda 1-2 and met all stringent safety and redundancy requirements for the off-shore race.

Sea-kindly sailing motion.

Cutter rig for multiple sail configuration options.

Sleeps 4 and is also uniquely outfitted for single-handed blue ocean sailing.

Here are 57 photos of the boat:

Copper seacocks?

Any chance to get her over to the states? She is a fine boat!

[jamescurrier]

She has bronze seacocks.
And we aren't planning to deliver her to the US. She's in Lagos Portugal. You can sail the Med starting today, or wait until the southern Atlantic window in a few months and sail her back.
