About
Broker's Notes
Two requirements of the 42 Mk II according to Gerry Douglas, designer, "were that the shape have lots of volume but still be slippery." With a 3-cabin (master V-berth with queen on centerline), 2 head layout and European-influenced cockpit and rounded stern, SERENITY TOO is comfortable at sea or at rest. She offers good natural light and ventilation, storage space and a thoughtful layout. The Seller has made several improvements such as adding air conditioning in 2007 and then replacing in 2017, upgrading to electric toilets, replacing the generator in 2016 and running rigging in 2023. The hardtop dodger and canvas bimini and filler piece provide shade and comfort from the elements. Furling main and jib, bow thruster and electric winch make short-handed sailing easy. YANMAR 56 hp engine and FISCHER PANDA generator provide power to spare.

Lynn fell in love with sailing and the boating lifestyle when she moved to the East Coast to work as a young adult. She understands that boating can be a wonderful, but daunting, experience. Her belief is that owning a boat should be positive, and buying and selling should be both professional and personalized to the needs of her clients.
Lynnâs insights and expertise have been gained through her extensive cruising, certification coursework, sailing, navigation and safety instruction, and earning her USCG Masters License. She was a boat owner for more than 25 years having both power and sail and is active in her local yacht club. Professionally, Lynn learned about boats, boaters and the industry as Marketing Director for Brewer Yacht Yards which included 26 locations. With the 2017 acquisition of Brewer Yacht Yards by Safe Harbor Marinas, she was appointed Director of Member Experience for the 80+ national locations.
Lynn has two adult sons who were raised in, on, and around the water and are still messing about with boats for work and pleasure. They have provided additional perspectives on boating, life and boat choices.
As an American Sailing Association and US Sail & Power Squadron Instructor and private captain, Lynn loves empowering people in boating, especially women. She understands that boating can be fabulous if all onboard feel safe, comfortable, and confident. That starts with the selection of the right boat for your lifestyle.
