Main Salon
Entering the starboard side main salon, the custom upholstered coconut colored seating for six is around the teak dining table which drops down to create a large sleeping area. Custom black and gold throw pillows and antique gold window treatments detail the cherry veneer cabinetry and nav station. The upper portholes, lower portlights and hatches give a bright, airy and open feel to this ample space with its 6’4” + headroom.
Galley
The port galley is brightly lit from two upper portholes and one lower double portlight with custom antique gold window treatments. A four- burner Marine Force 10 LPG stove with oven and broiler is centrally located. The propane system was upgraded to be US Coast Guard compliant. Aft from the stove is an under-counter, built-in, stainless steel Isotherm Cruise 200, side-by-side, 12v/110v refrigerator/freezer. The double stainless steel under-mount galley sink sits in the newly installed solid surface granite look-alike counter top in a beige background, peppered with brown, black and white flakes. A Scandvik Galley mixer in chrome runs pressurized hot and cold water from the three water tanks totaling a 207 gallon capacity. There is a foot pump and spigot for manual sea/rinse water at the sink. The hatch at the galley and opening portlights provides plenty of natural light and refreshing breeze. The vessel’s entire interior lighting was upgraded with Imtra marine fixtures.
Master Stateroom
A queen sized bed in the forward cabin with two hatches, custom lighting and custom designed bedding ensemble complete a perfect resting area. New mattress cushioning was installed in 2023.

Hull
The wetted surface of the hull was stripped completely for thorough gelcoat inspection. It was found to be in excellent condition, free of any blisters, delamination or damage. Very minor (dime-sized or smaller) nicks were faired along with the keel, using the West System. After fairing, the entire surface was barrier coated using Interlux 1000 and 2000 products, then finished with Interlux Micron 66 black bottom paint. The re-application of Micron 66 continued annually until such ablative coatings were disallowed in 2017-2018. Post hurricane Irma in 2017, bottom paint was upgraded to compliant brands. The cumulative result is a beautiful bottom surface. A new cutlass bearing and prop shaft water seal at engine end were renewed. Rudder shaft bearings were replaced. All the keel bolts were replaced with new for preventive maintenance.
The boot stripe is done in a 2 color/3 stripe pattern of 1” gold over 4” of gloss black over a lower 1” gold on a white hull with a flat black bottom. The freeboard area shows very little wear and tear in its original white surface. She has received an annual buff and wax prior to each of its 4-5 month seasons in the water. She is stored on the hard for the rest of the year when not in use.
Deck
The deck is equipped with four BIG B 10” X 26” black fenders with fender brackets and six ⅝” New England Ropes mega braid nylon dock lines. Two Lewmar 54, two speed self-tailing genoa winches and two Lewmar 40, two speed self-tailing halyard winches are mounted for ease of sail handling from the cockpit.
The deck has 7 hatches with custom mosquito screens (for the boat yard, at anchor or on a mooring) and 2 dorades. The Lofrans Tigres 1000w 12v electric windlass is loaded with a Danforth primary anchor and a Britany secondary anchor.
New in 2023, a Profurl headsail roller furling with a Doyle 135 genoa, a Doyle mainsail and a custom remake of the Doyle Easy Pack sail cover are installed. The spinnaker pole is mounted on the mast. All standing rigging wire and running rigging lines are new in 2023. Mast and boom are new in 2023 with OEM single piece Z-Spar brand.
The spacious cockpit has a center console and single helm. There are seven custom closed-cell floatation foam black Sunbrella cockpit cushions around the folding table. A large 13’ X 10’ custom black Sunbrella and stainless steel bimini makes this cockpit a shaded, comfortable area for captain and guests.
