If you long to own and sail a blue-water vessel but think you cannot afford a sailboat of this quality, Siskiwit is your opportunity.

156 vessels of this class were built from 1964-1976. Given their vintage, all face common repair issues. Siskiwit has been frequently and professionally upgraded by the current owner: removal of original teak deck replaced with fiberglass; diesel rebuilt; dyform rigging; awlgrip of hull, deck, coach roof and cockpit. Upgrade of hatches and all wood ports to SS ports.

Comfortable interior and fully equipped for live-aboard family/couple. Headroom 6'5". Ample ventilation makes for tropical comfort. Seller has lived aboard for 6+ years and cruised all the Great Lakes, Atlantic seaboard, Bahamas out islands during 22 year ownership.

Sailing south this winter? You will appreciate the advantages of lying in Charleston, SC.

Built to Lloyds of London A-100 standards. Marine survey completed at most recent haulout (April 11, 2011).
