Launched originally in 1979 as the Talisiman 37 and built by Challenger Yachts USA. A major refit in 2004 in Port Townsend, Washington, USA. Built tough the old way this superbly crafted hand laid solid GRP world cruiser will get you anywhere you would like to go. Only the 4th owner since new, this yacht has loads of charm and is strong and safe when offshore. With 17 large bronze ports to keep you cool in the tropics. The large open and safe cockpit is comfortable for live aboard cruising. Just a load of gear and everything included, this is really a turnkey yacht ready to sail off into the sunset, or to do some serious "gunkholing" up and down the coast. Last antifoul, propspeed and anodes in March 2026.
