"SUNSHINE" is a wonderful small cruising boat that is equally at home running around the bouys or down to the Keys. With an open floorplan and bulkhead mounted dinette table, the interior is quite spacious for the length. The Sheel keel opens up numerous harbors and anchorages yet still retains the quick spirited sailing that Tartans have become famous for. "SUNSHINE" has received excellent care over the years and should not disappoint anyone seeking such a fine sailer.

"SUNSHINE" is an excellent example of this venerable S&S design and is in very nice condition. With numerous replacements/upgrades over the 11 year course of current ownership, this makes for a great Florida, Keys, Bahamas and beyond spirited cruiser at a very affordable price. Offered by the current owners for the first time, "SUNSHINE" will not disappoint.
