Here is your chance to own a timeless classic! ?Rhapsody? features the traditional 1947 L. Francis Herreshoff design combined with a modern fiberglass hull laid by Middleton Marine in La Crosse, Florida with finish construction provided by Meadow Marine in San Diego. This vessel has been meticulously cared for by an experienced sailor who is now moving to the trawler phase of life. She is blue water equipped to go wherever you point the bow and all bright work was restored in October, 2008. If cookie-cutter plastic boats are not your style, then hold your head up high at the yacht club bar with this masterpiece!
Will consider trade for 40' to 50' trawler.
Accommodations
As you step down the companionway ladder, the cherry wood and ash interior give that warm feeling of a well kept wooden boat. There are 11 opening ports and 2 overhead deck hatches. The galley is to starboard and to port there is a chart table and an icebox with 10? insulation that will keep a 50 lb block of ice for 10 days in Mexico. Moving forward, the salon features a Newport wood burning heater/stove, settees on each side and a folding dinette table to port. Forward of the salon there is a cozy Pullman berth to port and a forward head with lots of storage space and a holding tank that has never been used. Aft of the companionway is the engine compartment with ample storage space and plenty of room for servicing the engine. On the port foredeck there is a large anchor/sail locker.
