This fully equipped, blue water cruiser has just returned from a years adventure cruising around the Indian Ocean Islands. She is a comfortable, dry, passage maker, with good freeboard. She was purchased by her current owners in 2001 and was the subject of a major refit in 2005. She is now sadly for sale due to her owner’s return to life ashore. Lying afloat.
