SELLER DESCRIPTION

This Force 50 is the center-cockpit "Venice" model, with semicircular bench seating all around the raised helm directly aft of the mizzenmast. This arrangement provides an exceptionally spacious master stateroom aft, with romantic transom windows and a queen-size bed set deep into all-teak cabinetry, adjacent en-suite head. Upper Salon has wonderful windows all around, is a pilothouse with inside helm, incorporating linear galley on starboard side and huge dinette to port, flooded with daylight. Cruising with a big family, these owners have added a (removable) center bench to complete seating all round the large table and provide additional storage and safety hand-holds. Down a magnificent banistered stairway to a more intimate lower salon, where the brass Dickinson heater/fireplace is surrounded on both sides by settees, making a great conversation area. Large head with deep shower-stall is to port, pass-thru double-berth stateroom is to starboard of the mainmast. Forepeak stateroom has over/under berthing. Note the rigid inflatable on stern-davits AND a hard sailing dinghy almost lost on the expansive foredeck. New aluminum masts, practical and proven full hardtop cockpit enclosure of SSTL and Lexan, bigger six-cylinder Ford Lehman -- this one's recently been to the South Pacific and is ready to do it again!
