Is this your boat? Looks like a nice one. I hope some misfortune is not motivating the sale.

Love the pull out rack on the galley side.

Thanks. No misfortune - just checking a possible opportunity. I’ve reset my cruising plans for this year to hopefully involve more offshore (solo) sailing than originally planned. Since moving the boat to Mobile AL last fall, I’ve spent a several weeks out in the Gulf of Mexico (a very challenging body of water!). I’ve realized there are several true bluewater cruising boats for sale on the Gulf coast area that might be a better platform - lots more storage, more stable in large confused seas and strong winds. Since I’ll be stuck back in Knoxville for the next ~8 weeks with hip replacement surgery in 2 weeks, then 6 weeks of recovery before I can safety get back ‘out there’, I asked a friend (broker at my marina) to see if we can get a good price for her by the end of March so I can jump to one of available local bluewater boats, and head off in that. If my boat doesn’t sell (for a good price), I’ll happily jump back on board her and head out at that time. She’s fully set up for cruising, so there’s nothing I need to do before heading to the Bahamas and then south.
