Secret Story

Yawl Secret Story

Recently bought & used once due to a health issue, anyone would consider themselves lucky stewards of this gorgeous sailboat; her care is obvious putting her in the top of the class. She is truly a stunner equipped to sail around the world, much of which she has done with ease in even the worst of ocean conditions. Her owners had kept her in meticulous condition with integrity in mind. Her woodwork since new had always been kept after but currently needs varnish. Always stored indoors with only one year under wrap. During the winters (masts included), her soft goods were laundered, and vacuum sealed. Sails, running rigging and dock lines are all properly washed, stowed and the spinnaker treated with Sailkote. Bluewater sailors will appreciate her amazing, custom deck mold and inlaid Teak decks, split rig, shallow draft and centerboard, clear companionway boards, oversized chain, and powerful windlass, watermaker, dodger with oversized frame, custom Graham awning, solar panel, Onboard Solutions True Power 400 PS, super reliable engine and assortment of the necessary tools and spare parts.
