She was used as a family cruiser and as part of a mission support vessel. She is a large safe and very comfortable boat. She is 56 ft on deck/63ft overall, her beam is 15'6" and she only draws 5'10" of water. She is ideal for coastal and blue-water use because even though she is a big offshore boat she can still navigate the intracoastal waterway with her shoal draft and her mast height of 64'6".  For more detailed information, pictures and history please see sailingprovidence.com .
