I am putting my sailboat up for sale. It is a beautiful 1980 model, one of the last in the series to feature excellent options. This type of sailing yacht is known for its pleasant sailing characteristics and seaworthiness. The yacht feels incredibly sturdy and remains very stable even in strong winds. There are no soft spots in the fiberglass anywhere, and the hull is in good condition. The smart layout can accommodate 5 adults plus a very large storage locker. The boat is equipped with a rock-solid Volvo Penta diesel engine that has recently undergone major maintenance. The boat is fully equipped and ready to explore the (coastal) waters—ideal for vacations.
