If you are considering The Great American Loop, this boat will interest you for several reasons. First, she’s economical….1.5 -2 gal/hour at 7-8 knots. New Westerbeke 7.5KW generator

Second, she’s very safe. When you run aground, (and you will !) the steel keel has a 1 inch shoe to protect you, plus the prop is enclosed in the deep draft of the center keel.

This is a ‘character boat’ inside and out. The Douglas fir interior has the craftsmanship of a master finish carpenter. Arched beams. Beautiful cabinets. Meanwhile the exterior signals Classic due to a sheer that comes out of working boats of 100 yrs ago.

So, she’s economical, safe, salty, and affordable. She was custom-built and completed in 2013 in Duluth MN, and then did the loop. For the past several yrs she has be cruising the Gulf and currently moored in Longboat Key near Sarasota. The owners are seriously considering another “liveaboard” and must sell the current boat to afford the next purchase. The original build cost was $330,000 (documented in Passage Maker), and available for half that cost. Great value for a reasonable price.

Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20's, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we're in our 30's. We're not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. We started out with Somnium, an O'day 272, moved onto Freebie, an Endeavour 32, and now are focusing on sailboat tours and working full time as teachers while we save up for our next boat.
