Overview

This is a "Classic" vessel that is "Bullet Proof."  In the 70's they put more fiberglass in the hull than you can believe.  "Windancer" has been with the current owner since 2000.   He has invested more than $35,000 and upgraded almost all the systems.  The 3 cylinder 40 hp Yanmar engine was overhauled in 2016 and is in terrific condition and has had regular  maintenance.  Heat/Air 16,000BTU keeps her cool in the Summer & warm in the Winter.  Main & Genoa are in very good condition.  "Windancer" has been on the podium many times in her "Cruising Class division."  She won't be on the market long.
