BRAVO combines fine accommodations with good sailing characteristics. She is fast under both power and sail. Because of her shoal draft, she can cruise in out-of-the-way places while still being capable of offshore sailing. BRAVO has always enjoyed excellent ownership and maintenance, and her present condition reflects this care. She's fully equipped for long distance blue-water cruising in comfort and style. She is sound and seaworthy and considered "young" for a yacht built as well as she was.

BRAVO is small enough to be easily owner maintained, especially with the new materials available today. She can be handled easily by two people and is small enough to fit into today's tight marinas. She has proven to be a very comfortable liveaboard--and a yacht to be proud of in any port.
