Description
Summary
Best deal going... This vessel is ready to cruise... S/V Susurro has undergone a comprehensive refit for two years, but she was not a project boat at inception. She is a sturdy and dependable sailboat and performs well in both light and heavy air. Susurro is a steal at this price. She performed great on a shakedown cruise from Florida to Maryland in late May/early June 2023.
The Down East 38 Cutter is one of the perennial favorites offering the dual roles of comfortable living and offshore cruising in a well-built, proven Henry Morschladt design. Her shoal draft of 5' makes her ideal for local waters. The spacious forward cabin and sizable head/shower makes the Downeast 38 a popular choice for the owner who likes to have friends aboard for the weekend, coastal cruise, or head out to the great blue yonder. She is a beautiful vessel that is ready for your next adventure. Please do not contact me unless you want to see the vessel or have a question that is not answered herein.
