Grace is for sale

Posted on

After five years with Grace, a 1980 Artekno H-Boat, it’s time for me to offer her up. It’s been a blast. I fully restored her and have cruised with her along the California coast from Monterey to Point Reyes. Life changes force sale.

The asking price is $17,000. I have spent far more than that over the years restoring Grace. I will consider reasonable offers. Interested? Please feel free to reach out through the inquiry form at the end of this post.

In the meantime, I will continue sailing and maintaining Grace, as I have done since 2019. Please check out my racing, cruising, and maintenance & repair logs for detailed descriptions and photos. To follow, I provide an equipment inventory and a selection of recent photos.
