Galley
The galley is secure and practical at sea. I’ve got a three-burner propane stove with oven, a top-loading fridge/freezer, double stainless sinks, and more storage than you’d expect. It’s easy to cook real meals on passage or at anchor, and I love the way everything is within arm’s reach when the boat is moving.

Deck & Equipment
Up on deck, she’s built for safe and easy movement. The side decks are wide with solid bulwarks, and the bowsprit gives her those beautiful lines while keeping the anchors ready to drop. The cockpit is roomy, with a center helm and a walk-through transom that makes dinghy access simple. I also like how much ventilation she has with butterfly hatches and opening ports, it keeps the boat cool in warm weather.

Electronics & Navigation
She’s fitted with reliable navigation gear, GPS, autopilot, depth and wind instruments, and an Icom VHF both at the nav station and cockpit. Everything’s laid out where it should be, so keeping watch offshore is easy and stress-free.

Electrical, Power & Plumbing
The electrical system is straightforward and robust. She has a Heart inverter/charger, plenty of battery capacity, shore power hookup, and a diesel heater for those cold mornings. The water system is pressurized with a good-sized tank, and the hot water heater works off both shore power and engine heat.

Engine & Mechanical
The Westerbeke diesel has been a dependable workhorse. It starts right up and pushes her easily when the wind dies. Fuel capacity is around 40–45 gallons, which gives her good range under power. The mechanical systems are simple and easy to service, which is exactly what you want when cruising far from a marina.

Sails & Rigging
She’s cutter-rigged with a manageable sail plan. The main, staysail, and headsail are all easy to handle, and I can reef quickly without leaving the cockpit thanks to self-tailing winches and lines led aft. The cutter rig gives great balance in all conditions, and she’ll sail herself for hours when trimmed right.

Additional Information
This boat displaces around 17,000 pounds with 6,800 pounds of ballast, which makes her incredibly steady offshore. The draft is just under five feet, so I can get into shallower anchorages without worrying. The hull is solid fiberglass, built to go anywhere. I’ve kept her well maintained and she’s ready to cruise immediately, whether that means island-hopping in the Bahamas or setting out on a serious bluewater adventure.
