Broker's comments

For the serious long-distance cruiser seeking a high-quality, easy-to-handle ketch that’s fully equipped and ready to sail. This robust, custom-built yacht exceeds structural standards by at least two grades. The immaculate solid wood interior looks like new. Based on the Bruce Roberts BR 493 hull, it features aft and midship cockpits with direct access below. Exceptionally well-equipped and maintained, this yacht is in pristine condition. She will be auctioned online by Bright Auctions. Full auction details are available on: https://brightauctions.com/en/lot-details/18151/
