There is no other boat of this size and design in the world. This is it – the only one. Everything is in good working order. 50% of the boat has fresh paint and non-skid. Points well to windward, especially with the jib. Perfect for someone with an adventure streak in their blood with the potential to get from point A to B in short order – this boat covers ground in a good breeze and also moves smartly in the slightest breeze. Sail to your protected anchorage, cove, inlet, mooring, or dock; prepare your meals; eat under the cockpit sunshade or at the removable interior eating surface; clean up in the sink; then spend a restful night in the generous sleeping berth. Plenty of storage for personal items in the cabin and lockers for sailing gear, food, water, etc. Overall dimensions - 17’L x 14’W approximate. Rotating wing mast – 21ft. app. Lightweight Vectran shrouds. Self-furling Jib and Genoa. Retractable kick-up centerboard. Kick-up rudder. 200 watts of solar to charge the 100ah lithium phosphate battery for mindfully powering equipment. High-quality Epoxy/Fiberglass/Wood composite construction. Beautiful, naturally finished interior. Less than 1000lbs total weight with aluminum trailer; boat app. 600Lbs. Pulls easily behind small car. I have pulled it with both a Nissan Leaf and Chevy Bolt with no effort. 2” ball. This semi-performance cruising/camping boat is not designed/equipped to be left unattended on a mooring or at a marina/dock long term. Plan on taking two hours for setup with one person – nothing difficult, it just takes time and care. I usually stayed out for more than two days, making the set-up and tear-down a non-issue.
