Description: A classic design from the much revered Hereshoff stable, this beautiful little timber sloop has character and quality in abundance.
Spotted gum planks on a hardwood frame, oak coach house and the fantastic rosewood interior, she looks great from every angle and is a true opportunity to buy a fantastic head turner that has lost nothing in her performance.
Bronze winches and a furling headsail sit side by side to demonstrate the ease of modern sailing in this classic boat. Timber spars, almost new sails and recently replaced rigging demonstrate she has been well cared for her by her current owner.
Down below is even better, spacious V berth and a good sized saloon and galley, the bronze tap and barometer just add to the occasion.
She will delight those who appreciate her.
