A classic beauty which has been well loved by her owners. Sails like a dream and with her recent refit all thats left to do is go sailing. Extremely well appointed and surprisingly spacious for her length and beam. A sea worthy vessel made famous by Tania Aebi’s book, Maiden Voyage, and her circumnavigation on a sister ship.
