Originally designed for offshore racing by the legendary Ed Dubois, her powerful rig and deep fin keel deliver a stiff, fast yacht that inspires confidence in heavy seas. She is solidly constructed, featuring an integral aluminum chassis, carbon-and-Kevlar hull inlay, a fully laminated hull-to-deck joint, and watertight bulkheads fore and aft. All hardware is generously oversized, including a massive rudder shaft, substantial keel bolts, and XL winches throughout.
The fully refurbished triple-spreader aluminum rig carries a fresh sail inventory, including a fully battened mainsail and a self-tacking jib. Both headsails are set on Harken furlers, creating a versatile, easily managed sail plan suitable for short-handed or solo sailing. A hard dodger provides excellent protection from the elements—keeping the cockpit dry underway and shaded at anchor. The sugar-scoop swim platform is ideal for swimming, fishing, and diving, while the spacious aft “garage” easily accommodates an outboard, fuel cans, and additional cruising gear.
Below deck, the interior is thoughtfully arranged for comfortable live-aboard cruising, offering three double cabins and a bright, functional saloon with excellent headroom (2.1 m) and abundant storage. True off-grid autonomy is achieved through high-capacity water and fuel tanks, a 12V Katadyn watermaker, and a generous solar array. A highly reliable and meticulously maintained Yanmar diesel engine comfortably drives the boat at 8 knots in calm conditions, while a three-blade feathering Max-Prop delivers excellent thrust under power and minimal drag under sail.
Prior to crossing the Pacific, every single system on board was either restored or replaced. No expense was spared and no detail overlooked. The decks and rig were fully stripped and rebuilt, with new paint applied throughout. All work is supported by a comprehensive maintenance record, including receipts for all new parts and equipment installed. A detailed service log is available upon request.
