Description

Legendary boat that sets the bar for a bluewater cruising boat. See an owner's review below.

"I have sailed across the Pacific on one. We liked it, strong and predictable, but not ridiculously slow. We had the ketch version, which we liked for offshore. We averaged 100-150 miles a day if I remember right, and had a couple of days in the 180 mile range. I would take one just about anywhere if the size works for you."
