This boat entertains six or more, dines four at teak cabin table, sleeps two+++ comfortably with lots of stowage. The large teak, wheel and four large teak dorades are unique to this Ontario. A bright, airy, clean boat set up for simplicity and reliability whether day sailing or live-aboard cruising. Up to date survey and federal registration.
