Description

Her former owners did a total refit in 2000, taking the interior to the bare hull and then rebuilding an entire new lovely varnished teak interior with many custom design touches over the original standard interior. Consequently, she has a higher quality interior. Please read the description noting the refit improvements. Recently, her standing rigging was completely replaced, along with new exhaust elbow and a new Garmin 942 Radar-GPS Map. WATER SONG is a handsome, roomy, well-built Sloop, capable of long distance sailing if desired. Her two queen-berth cabins and two heads with separate showers and her spacious galley make her desirable for a family or two couples to cruise in comfort. Please call us for your inspection and thank you for your interest.
