Finding a vessel of this size that has been brought to todays dcor in materials, carpeting and upgrades that show off her beautiful high teak interior is a true pleasure to the eye.

She has a custom made hardtop, complete with soft enclosures (re-newed 2006) for her bridge and aft deck. She received a total exterior paint in late 2003 along with replacement of some of her stainless accessories. In short she is beautiful. A friendly broker described her as a cherry.
