Description

This bluewater cruising boat was designed for strength while being lightweight and flexible. She was built in South Africa and sailed there for several seasons before transiting to the Mediterranean and continuing on to the Caribbean. She had her first refit 15 years ago and we have invested a lot in refitting her again for this voyage. My daughter, best friend and I are doing a cruising trip to bring the boat home from Ft. Lauderdale to Portland Oregon. There are four berths, 2 heads, a galley down and a built in shower. video tour available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNHDs433A-Q Blog available here: www.svonthebrightside.wordpress.com

Additional details

The boat has been extensively fitted out with safety gear, including a new epirb, self uprighting brand new life raft, a jordan series drogue, high volume pump with long firehose, fire alarms and extinguishers etc. The rigging has all been replaced, the sails are brand new, engines have been gone over by a skilled mechanic, in order to make her as ship shape as possible for our voyage.
