Expertly built in 1998 and has been maintained in “as new” condition. Construction is Douglas Fir plywood and epoxy. Spars are hollow old growth Sitka Spruce.

North sails in excellent condition, mainsail cover, roller jib, awning, anchor and more. The boat weighs only 2,000 lbs. so is easily trailer-able. It’s 1’ draft and leeboards make it ideal for exploring shallow creeks, etc.
For open water work it would be simple to hang a Cal 20, or similar fin keel on it.
