This 'Boat of the Year 2005' from Cruising World magazine is a speedy, comfortable cruiser that can be run by a couple and still sleep 6. Guests will enjoy the large cockpit with outside dining area, protected by a functional hard-top bimini. The galley-up design incorporates a spacious saloon and aft facing galley with a cocktail bar and serving window overlooking the cockpit. This vessel had the 4 cabin layout; the previous owner converted the starboard forward cabin to an office space (Current owners have enjoyed using it for storage and as a work space). There are two large heads with separate shower stalls. Current owners have had her since 2018, cruising up and down the East Coast before shipping her to the Pacific Northwest. They have done tons of upgrades, and she is ready to cruise.

Cruising World's Boat of the Year Winner in 2005:
"The sailhandling center by the helm should become an industry standard," Bill noted. And Alvah loved the safety aspects: "By bringing the sail controls all to one spot, you take a lot of the stress out of handling the boat in rough conditions when sailing shorthanded." Missing handholds and bad ergonomics, his pet peeves, were pleasantly absent. "It felt safe moving around, and every time I put out my hand, there was something to grab." Tom was pleased with the interior arrangements and the engine-access hatch at the top of the transom steps. "You can drop right in there and work around the edges."
Cruising Helmsman Magazine:
This is a top-quality catamaran in terms of looks and workmanship and also a boat that can give you a real thrill under sail. I’ll never forget zooming along at seven knots plus to windward with a glass of chardonnay in one hand, the other lightly on the wheel and – best of all – sitting dead level on a comfortable seat while doing it.
