Description
If you are looking for an affordable, stoutly built, full keel double ender with the legendary go-anywhere bulletproof Robert Perry design and a classic traditional look with added flair, Dark Star is a must-see.
The well-built teak interior is of classic design and proportions, featuring a skylight that breathes light and life into the living quarters which feature a beautiful and traditional hanging brass lamp with accompanying brass fixtures, accents and artifacts. The well laid out galley and completely refitted head with separate shower also with brass faucets and sinks completes the old word but well lit coziness of the classic interior
The all-black exterior heavily trimmed with old world teak is a joy to behold, making Dark Star quite unique. Her performance is better than expected from a traditional design.
