SELLER DESCRIPTION

Bill Garden, a respected icon for many boat builders and owners, has produced a legacy of fine boat designs- thousands of which have been built and ply the seas around the world. ESPERANCE is a salty, stiff, blue water, classic full keel cruising ketch. Two people can easily handle this efficient design which cruises easily at 6-7 knots. She will make a comfortable world cruiser or a great liveaboard for her next owner.ESPERANCE comes to market with a LIKE NEW YANMAR 76 HP Diesel in excellent condition with low hours. Her five (5) sail inventory has also been recently upgraded, including a Full-Battened Mainsail with Strongback Track and Lazyjacks. Her topsides have been freshly varnished, and with her enclosed cockpit hard dodger and bimini, she is ready to cruise you to the BVIs and beyond. Her vee berth cabin has been converted to a workshop with bench vise. Her very competitive price reflects a need for a little TLC and an update on her electronics, but she is structurally sound and her teak decks are watertight. ESPERANCE represents an incredible bargain for that owner who is looking for a true blue water cruiser and who does not mind spending a little effort to bring her back into Bristol condition.NOTE- NOV 2008: Traffic on this yacht has increased dramatically this past month and we expect an offer soon. If you are at all interested in seeing this boat, be sure to schedule a viewing before she is off the market.
