Description

From her custom arch and davit system aft with integrated antennas, Star Link and solar panels, to the stainless steel deck tubing that runs the full perimeter of the boat, Make Me Laugh Again delivers thoughtful, purpose-built features for safe, comfortable, and convenient living on the water. Below decks, a washer/dryer and LiPo battery installations enhance daily living and reliability for extended off-the-grid cruising.

Under sail, the recently installed North 3Di sails deliver responsive performance, while Harken headsail furlers and an in-mast furling main maximize ease of handling and cockpit safety as all sail control lines are led aft.
