Over 200 of these vessels were built for the Carribean charter market, but they quickly became sought after for private cruising, with some going on to complete full circumnavigations of the globe! This vessel is an impressive example of the design and presents in excellent condition throughout. Chartered for 6 years, the vessel was then imported into Australia, and has been enjoyed as a Coastal Cruiser ever since.
