Vessel Walkthrough and Details

An exquisite Harwood Ives-Designed cutter-rigged vessel. A true-blue water cruiser boasting a solid hand-laid fiberglass hull with meticulous longitudinal stringers, expertly crafted in Taiwan. The deck, adorned with hand-laid luan plywood core and a non-skid decking overlay, exudes sophistication. The traditional lead ballast encapsulated keel, devoid of keel bolts, gives you unwavering stability.

Navigate with confidence using the barn-door rudder, solid fiberglass and sheltered by a full skeg, complemented by high bulwarks featuring a teak cap rail. Adorned with six bronze oversized cleats and bulwark chocks, this vessel stands as a testament to maritime elegance. Delight in the SS bow pulpit anchoring platform, stern rail with Forespar engine hoist, mast pulpits, and the rear cockpit with wheel steering, complete with a binnacle-mounted compass, high combings, and deep seating.

Below decks, discover a thoughtfully arranged interior. The forward head with a sumptuous shower and sink precedes the Pullman berth to port, showcasing a custom queen-sized bed and beautifully illuminated hanging lockers. The main salon invites indulgence with central seating around a tasteful dinette offering ample storage, an island bench galley sink, and a complete galley portside of the companionway.
