Additionally, she has now been transformed into a “yacht” sporting varnished spars, varnished mahogany exterior trim, after initially being finished of painted surfaces. Her present owner has upgraded, renewed or refinished almost all systems and surfaces on this vessel with nothing much left for a new owner to do.
