Fast Performance NW Boat

Bob Perry 42-ft One-off Two-tone IOR Performance Cutter \"Irish Rose\" (1979)

Designed for performance, the Irish Rose leaves average production cruising boats in its wake. Set up for single-handed sailing, with all lines lead to the aft cockpit. Three head sails on roller furlers and slab reefing on the main make adjusting to the Northwest\'s changeable sailing conditions a breeze. She points higher than most boats and sails like a dream on a beam reach in heavy seas.

Rebuilt from TOP to BOTTOM, she\'s outfitted to sail for months at a time. Over the last six years I\'ve taken her on expeditions to the most remote Canadian and Alaska regions along the West Coast. She sports an extensive navigational setup for piloting even in unknown anchorages in the middle of the night. She\'s extremely maneuverable under power in tight quarters.
