IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VERY WELL APPOINTED, AFFORDABLE, WELL MAINTAINED CIRCUMNAVIGATING VESSEL, THIS IS IT!
Last chance to see this boat in the water. The boat goes on the hard May 15th, Make appointment to see her today!!
Don’t let the hull age fool you, this boat went through a complete 4-Year refit/rebuild/repower beginning in 1999. She used to be a standard Oceanis 500 with 5 beds and 5 heads. She came out of the professional South Texas Yacht Service yard in 2003 as a reconfigured 2 bed, 2 ½ head sailing dream. For the past 11 years she has been owned/operated and maintained (with even further upgrades!) by a retired submarine engineer who is also a pleasure pilot. Safety and maintenance has been meticulous and well documented.
