Yacht Description
This gorgeous well-maintained St. Francis is recently returned from a year sailing the Bahamas and is ready to sail anywhere. Independence was the show boat for the Miami Sailboat Show in February of 2001. She was fitted out by the factory to the highest standards expressly for the owner of St. Francis Marine, Duncan Lethbridge. On her maiden voyage to Miami, she was logged at a top speed of 23 knots. Independence is loaded with many options, including new bimini/dodger and rib dinghy. This boat remains, in our view, the best buy on the catamaran market today in the US. This is a fabulous opportunity to own one of these incredibly fast and well built catamarans for a super price. Independence will sail anywhere in the world, swiftly, safely, and comfortably.
The owner of this boat has now dropped the price more than $29,000 and is ready to consider serious offers! |
