Her centerboard configuration (7'-2" with board up, 14' with board down) permits access to ports not usually open to so large a vessel. Her 1200 gals. of fuel and 1400 gals. of water gives her a ‘go-anywhere’ cruising range, and her Caterpillar diesel gives her a comfortable 10 kt cruising speed. She has been continually upgraded both cosmetically and mechanically, including new deck paint (2021), hull paint (2021) and Garmin touch-screen chart system with HD radar and wind instruments. She is ready to cruise the world’s oceans in comfort and speed. Seriously for sale.

    ACCOMMODATIONS

    In the bow is a large sail and gear locker, very well laid out and approx. 6' in length. Aft of this is a collision bulkhead. The OWNERS STATEROOM is in the forward part of the vessel, beautifully arranged, extremely light, airy and well ventilated. There is a centerline queen berth, extensive drawer storage and a small settee, linen storage locker and book storage. Aft to starboard is a cedar-lined hanging locker; further aft is a mirrored vanity with swing-out seating, drawer and hair dryer storage locker. The OWNER'S HEAD is to port, beautifully finished in cherry with Corian countertops, small bath tub and shower aft, stainless steel bidet, Mansfield electric head and teak grate.


    Moving aft to the passageway, to starboard is a hanging locker and built-in shoe locker.

    Continuing aft to starboard is a very comfortable GUEST STATEROOM. This cabin has a queen berth outboard, flanked by a four-drawer bureau inboard, and a built-in Panasonic TV forward, with bookshelves. There is a hanging locker, and excellent storage both above and underneath the berth. There is an adjoining head (electric), with stall shower and Corian counters. Bulkheads are Formica with cherry trim.

There is also drawer storage under. Aft of this stateroom is the adjoining head with stall shower. Proceeding out of the center line companionway, which can be separated by a door, there are two shallow steps up to the main saloon.


    The interior of SIROCCO is finished in beautiful cherry wood, complimented and lightened by the use of matte white overheads, with solid teak and holly soles throughout. The saloon is generous, with light and ventilation provided by four large overhead hatches. There are L-shaped settees port and starboard, with the hi/lo extension dining table in the starboard settee. There is extensive storage both in lockers and drawers. There is a pilot berth behind the starboard settee. Behind the port settee is the TV and stereo. Aft of the port settee and outboard is the liquor storage, and there is a built-in bar aft in this area as well, complemented by excellent drawer storage. Next aft to starboard is the galley.


    The GALLEY is open to the main saloon, and is U-shaped, facing forward. There is excellent counter space, fiddles, excellent storage, a top-loading refrigerator with front-door access and a top-loading freezer. The gimbaled stove is located outboard and can be hidden with cherrywood drop panels.
