Built by her designer the late Herman Boro in 1979, this classic steel ketch is extremely solid with a full length shallow draft keel and is in walk in/turn key condition with modern equipment, spares, tools, masses of storage space, completely ready and set up for extended blue water cruising.
She has been fully repainted throughout and only needs a fresh tie coat and antifoul (to be applied within 7 days of returning to the water).
She also needs fresh batteries but better to upgrade to lithium vs current AGM set up.
Otherwise she is good to launch.
