This Truman Ecstasy has a very large cockpit, having had her cabin shortened professionally for a previous owner some 10 or so years ago, and is ideally suited to day sailing with all the family on board! However, her small cabin does offer sufficient room for occasional overnight use for two. She has been well maintained and is understood to be in very good condition throughout. Currently lying afloat. Photos of boat afloat taken by Topsail (April 2010). Other photos provided by owner.
