This beautiful example of a classic blue water cruiser is expertly maintained by her owners and ready to continue to far away places. Check out her recent pictures and equipment list, which include a fully rebuilt motor with only 50 hr. and new SS fuel tank (replaced spring ‘23).

Designed by William Garden as a long keel offshore cruiser and built by Blue Water Yacht Builders Limited of Taiwan in 1982, she is undoubtedly one of the saltiest examples of a sailing yacht.
