1971 Hughes

Classic lines on this rare freshwater Sparkman and Stephens designed yacht hearken back to a bygone era when sailing ships were designed and built with sea kindly motion and graceful passage making in mind. She won’t sleep twelve in eight private cabins, but she will take you and a few guests anywhere you want to go, in almost any weather you want to go. Sails include (Main, Furling Genoa, Spare 150% Genoa, Mizzen, Gale), 55hp Volvo diesel and systems (transmission, prop shaft, exhaust, etc.), good upholstery,  wiring and more. She has plenty of cruising gear including 300′ of chain hooked to a 50lb plough anchor and retrieved by an electric windlass, with a stainless CQR as a spare. She has a unique factory built hard dodger and bimini with Isinglass panels that can enclose the dodger when it's raining or storming. Walker Bay 10' hard dinghy & outboard.
