  • Galley to port equipped with all essentials

  • Single heads forward for convenience on longer passages

Her expansive sail wardrobe provides flexibility for both cruising and racing, ensuring she’s ready for whatever style of sailing her next owner prefers.

  • New standing rigging (2018)

  • All running rigging replaced (2021–2023)

  • Rudder bearings replaced (2021)

  • New keel bolts (2020)

  • Throttle assembly replaced (2023)
