  Accommodations:  
     
 

This 70-year-old classic motorsailer is in very good condition. Her wheelhouse, skylights, companionways and cabin posts are teak as is the double-planked transom. The interior of the wheelhouse is sheathed in varnished teak and the fact that she is a Hodgdon boat contributes to her longevity.

She sleeps up to ten people comfortably. She is quiet. At full speed the engine is more a rumble than a roar. She has wide unencumbered teak decks and is built to take to sea.
