Description
PRELIMINARY LISTING.
ODYSSEY was purchased by her current owner in 2005. She had been kept and maintained in an excellent yard, and under her current owner's care, has continued to receive excellent care and upgrading. Interior cushions were replaced soon after the owner's purchase in 2005, standing rigging was replaced in 2014-2015, dinghy davits and solar panel were new in 2014, she received a new mainsail in 2018, a custom canvas winter cover in 2019, and the engine was replaced in 2020. In addition to those upgrades numerous other upgrades have been made to the boat, most of them noted elsewhere in this listing. It is unusual to find a boat of this age with so many thoughtful and unique features.
