Designed for sailors seeking reliability and ease of handling, the boat offers multiple sail configurations, generous tankage, dependable systems, and a practical layout that makes extended cruising both safe and comfortable.Below deck, the boat features a very open and spacious interior layout with excellent natural light and ventilation throughout. The forward V-berth is bright and airy and can be separated from the main cabin with a privacy curtain, offering flexibility between an open-concept feel and a more private sleeping area. The main saloon includes a second double berth, while the galley dinette table lowers to create an additional berth, allowing the vessel to comfortably accommodate family or guests.

Starlink Mini internet capability was also added in 2025, making remote work and offshore connectivity possible while cruising.Navigation and electronics equipment includes a Garmin chartplotter with depth sounder, an Autohelm 4000 autopilot, fixed and handheld VHF radios, Fusion stereo speakers, and a compass. On deck, the boat is well equipped for serious cruising with multiple anchors, including a Rocna 45 primary anchor with galvanized chain, additional CQR anchors, a Maxwell electric windlass ready for installation, a dodger, a bimini, cockpit cushions, navigation lights, a swim ladder, lifelines, and extensive dock gear.Sailing performance is supported by aluminum main and mizzen masts, a full-batten mainsail, multiple genoas, a whisker pole, upgraded running rigging, and a full suite of Lewmar winches. The standing rigging and chainplates were replaced in 2016, providing additional peace of mind for offshore passages.

The engine received an extensive refit in late 2025, including new filters, hoses, coolant system components, a lift pump, and servicing.This vessel also includes a West Marine RIB-260 dinghy paired with an 8 hp Yamaha Outboards four-stroke engine, making shore access easy and reliable.
