She is built of extremely strong Corten Steel, with beautifully rolled toe rails meeting the main deck. Stainless steel rubbing strakes, and stanchions have been expertly welded in place. A Yanmar 3 cylinder Diesel engine turns a 3 blade bronze prop, and is in very good condition. She has a good set of sails, and is ready for the new owner to sail into the deep blue.
