Description

IMAGINE... Stepping into the cockpit with your morning cup of coffee. The cool, sturdy gelcoat beneath bare feet. 


IMAGINE... Winning your Wednesday night beer can races. One hand grasping your stainless steel Edson steering wheel system, the other a refreshing beverage. A friend trims the sheets using Lewmar 42 self-tailing winches, while another dangles their legs over the side of the hull as rail meat. 


IMAGINE... The weekend anchored in Okracoke with 360 degrees of wind and wave protection offered by the geography, and 360 degrees of shade protection from the custom Canvas Creations dodger, connecting bimini, and heavy duty stainless steel frame.


IMAGINE your home away from home. With five-inch foam insert, like new interior cushions. New batteries and fully functional AC110/120V shore power in addition to 12-volt system. The inviting hues of the mahogany and teak finish down below. 


Or take it a step forward, and IMAGINE your very own live aboard. 


Anything is possible. You just have to...
