Vessel Description

This classic center cockpit yacht was originally built for the President of Contest USA and was the Boat Show Boat.   Her 2nd owners have had her for over 30 years.  She is yard maintained and has been regularily upgraded with a recent low hours diesel, mast and rigging and hull paint.   The interior needs some varnish work and replacement of some of the hull coverings.  She is an extremely well built yacht with a solid glass hull that will last another 50 years for sure!
