After five years with Grace, it’s time for me to offer her up for sale. It’s been a blast. I fully restored her and have cruised with her along the California coast from Monterey to Point Reyes. She is still my home away from home, but life changes and a calling to start a new boat project motivate me to at least test the waters for interest in this beautiful turnkey sailboat.
The sale price is $24,000 OBO. I have spent far more than that over the years in restoring Grace. I am motivated to sell, and also willing to hold on to her in the absence of reasonable offers. Interested? Please feel free to reach out by phone or email, as posted in this Latitude38 ad, or through the inquiry form at the end of this post.
In the meantime, I will continue to actively sail and maintain Grace, as I have done since 2019. Please peruse my cruising logs and maintenance & repair logs for detailed descriptions and photos. To follow, I provide an equipment inventory and a selection of recent photos.
